This special black tea comes from Wuyi Mountain Nature Reserve which is the birthplace of black tea in the world. It is made of the fresh tea leaves of high mountain wild tea trees in the National Nature Reserve. The making process of it is based on traditional black tea technologies combined with Oolong tea’s shaking process, which makes it not only the warmth and mellowness of black tea but also the rocky taste of the oolong tea.
The dry tea leaves are tight and straight with deep bronze colour. The tea soup is bright orange without any impurities. The taste of it is sweet with a long-lasting aftertaste combined with a hint of fresh grass fragrance. Due to its unique making technology, it also contains both the warm character of black tea and the rocky flavour of rocky oolong tea. Taking a sip is like being in the vast virgin forest of Wuyi Mountain.

Out of StockXihu Longjing (West Lake Dragon Well Green Tea) is a very famous Chinese green tea, well known among Chinese tea lovers. Longjing is famous for its natural verdant color, beautiful leaf shape, rich fragrance and mellow taste.
The West Lake Longjing producing area can be divided into two parts: first-grade producing zone and second-grade producing zone where should not outside the 168 square kilometers of the west lake protection zone designated by the people’s government of Hangzhou. Our top-class Longjing is produced in one of these areas – ‘Meijiawu’ Village which belongs to the first-grade producing zone.
Because there is a limited area around West Lake for these real Longjing to be cultivated and the whole production process is all handmade; therefore, the yield of it is extremely low and the price of it is extraordinarily high. Especially, our West Lake Longjing is picked before Qingming （the fifth Chinese solar term, 4, 5 or 6 April), that’s why our Longjing is also called as ‘Mingqian’ Longjing green tea. It is the most tender and freshest one with rare yield compared with other Longjing tea. As a result, the price of this typical ‘Mingqian’ West Lake Longjing is almost four times higher than the Longjing comes from other origins picked on or after Qingming.
Our premium West Lake Longjing belongs to No.43 species. This species is an excellent variety improved by tea research institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences based on the Group Species. It belongs to asexual reproduction, shrub type, early growth species. The whole tea plant is short, the leaves is slender, the fertility of it is strong. Longjing No.43 retains the fine quality of the Group Species, meanwhile without its bitterness and astringency, tastes very fresh and elegant.
