Long Jing or Dragon Well Green Tea

Without a doubt Spring first flush is the best, but we suggest to stay away from the early spring pickings as they are very expensive. A little down the Spring Long Jing tends to be less expensive and equally good in quality and taste. Having said that, stay away from any pickings of summer. The summer pickings tend to be bitter and really they all go into tea bags. The price of Long Jing depends on the region and the picking time of the year. Long Jing can quench your thirst with a remarkable  chest-nutty, sweetness and ending with lemon zesty-ness.

Try to buy it from a good supplier and don’t always go by labels and first flush as you will end up paying top dollar. The Xieu Long Jing is the most expensive (may be like $200 per 100 gm). The tea from third and fourth flush is pretty good to have. In the end your taste is paramount.
