Weng Jia Shan Long Jing

Dry leaves appearance : The small, narrow, and even tea leaves show a nice traditional "Cao Mi (brown rice)" color, which is a yellow-ish green. The brown color at the end of the sterm shows the leaves went through a sudden cold weather. The “Yu Ye (fish leaves)” are the guaranties of the first picked of the year.
Aroma : The dry tea leaves offer a fresh roasted green bean fragrance with a hint of sweet cereals. The wet leaves give the same sweet green bean fragrance but sweeter and they are complemented by a delicate flowery layer.
Liquor : The pale green tea liquor has an excellent clarity. A lovely lotus seed flavor is delivered by the full-bodied tea liquor which turns into a sweet afteraste. The texture is thick and oily and is pleasant to the throat swallowing.

Even size, nice yellowish hue, quite narrow leaves, this Long Jing will definitively be a treat for Weng Jia Shan tea lovers. The tea liquor is thick and clear with aromas filling the mouth and giving a good amount of sweetness to build up a nice aftertaste after a couple of tea cups. A classic Long Jing tea

Tips : When you brew Chinese green tea in a gaiwan, always leave a little bit of tea in the gaiwan between each infusion. This is call “the root” and will allow you to get the best of the green tea.
