I seriously debated for weeks about whether to purchase this tea, some more of Mrs. Li’s Dragonwell from Verdant, some of the disappointing One River Tea’s stash because they supposedly have good greens, or splurging on the exorbitant offerings from Bitterleaf that garner so much praise online. Safe to say, I settled for iTeaworld’s offering and I cannot be more disappointed. The tea is not repulsive, but has none of the characteristics that I think represent Longjing and is a sad excuse for a green tea overall. I’m surprised to see positive comments about this from other reviewers here. Maybe this year is just a bad batch? I mean, this is far worse than all the other’s Ive tried, including TeaVivre’s.

Anyways, because I can’t go another whole year without some Longjing, I went ahead and made an order from Verdant. Let’s hope that one is much better.

Next time, consider Seven Cups. Their Longjing is expensive but good, and their First Pluck Bi Luo Chun is amazing in my opinion. They also have many unique greens to try.

I definitely will give them a try! I need to just bite the bullet at some point and get some really good stuff haha

Yes, their Longjing is a bit pricy. However, whenever they get new tea in stock, they offer a 20% discount on it that weekend. The best way to know when the sales are is to subscribe to their mailing list. I think they have a low shipping threshold in the U.S. as well. I’ve also heard good things about Bitterleaf’s Longjing, though I’ve never tried it.

I once received a sample of Teavivre’s finest Longjing. Ashman took a sip and said, “This is really good.” Paused, and then…”It’s expensive, isn’t it?” Ha ha! I told him, yes, it is very expensive, but I ordered some just for him after that.

This tea proved to be a delightful and easy-to-sip experience, embodying the essence of a quality Dragon Well tea. Its easy drinking nature only lends to it being a fantastic example of why Long Jing has remained so popular for over 1000 years. The leaves are a visual testament to the craftsmanship invested in creating this tea. As the first sip solidified the notion that this was a solid daily drinking tea that anyone who enjoys a quality green tea could truly appreciate.
