龙井 Lóngjǐng Dragon Well Grade B
Honest, refreshing Dragon Well at an everyday price — 龙井 from Zhejiang province, pan-fired in the traditional flat-leaf style that defines the Dragon Well character. Grade B delivers everything that makes Longjing a great daily green tea: a light grassy-sweet aroma, pale jade liquor and a clean, mellow finish that makes each cup an easy pleasure. The grade refers entirely to leaf selection, not origin. This is genuine Zhejiang Longjing — the same pan-firing process, the same recognisable flat, sword-shaped leaves — simply harvested a little later in the spring flush, when the leaves are slightly broader and the flavour opens with a gentler grassy brightness. For anyone discovering Chinese green tea for the first time, Grade B is the ideal starting point: forgiving to brew, consistent in character, and priced for daily use. A tea to keep in steady rotation — the kind you reach for on an ordinary morning and never tire of. Worldwide delivery.

One of the best teas I've had this year. Clean, complex, and the finish lingers for ages.
