What is Xihu Longjing tea?
Xihu Longjing, or West Lake Longjing, is a green tea that is produced in the mountains around Longjing Village, Xihu District, Hangzhou, China. It has a history of more than 1200 years. It served the imperial family as imperial tea since the Qing Dynasty.
Premium Xihu Longjing tea is flat, smooth, and straight, with a tender green color, fresh and sweet taste. Longjing tea harvested before the Qingming Festival is referred to as Pre-Qingming Longjing or Pre-Qingming Dragonwell, and the one harvested before the rainy season GuYu is called Pre-Yu Longjing or Pre-Yu Dragonwell.
Xihu Longjing is produced in the mountains around West Lake. The climate here is mild, with abundant rainfall and diffuse light. The soil is slightly acidic, deep, and well-drained. The forest is lush and the streams are always flowing. The annual average temperature is 16℃ and the annual precipitation is around 1500mm. The superior natural conditions have made West Lake Longjing the top green tea in China.

Sander –
I bought Long Jing Qunti from Jason for my online tea shop. I didn’t know this type of Long Jing but I liked the story behind it. The samples all were nice so I ordered the tea. Jason provided me with information, pictures, labels and tins and I sold all the tea.
At the time of writing the tea got 10 reviews: 7 x 5 stars, 2 x 4 stars and 1 x 3 stars. The 3 stars tasted some bitterness (but compared with a pre-qingming), other feedback was:
– Great tea as usual for Longjing
– Delicious tea, a gem
– Meets my expectation!
– Very summery and subtle
– Very tasty, slightly earthy notes that we do not know from other Long Jing teas.
