From Palais des Thés

Long Jing means “Dragon Well” in Chinese.

It is one of the most popular green teas in China. The plants grow on the upper slopes of the Tieh Mu mountains.

The tea can be recognized by the way it is folded into a characteristic sword-like shape.

It has a delicate fragrance, a slightly sweet flavor and a silky texture. The liquor is velvety and its chestnut aroma lingers for a long time in the mouth.

Tea and food pairings:
Try the delicious pairing of Long Jing with fish such as cod, dogfish, or monkfish. For cheese lovers, it perfectly pairs with goat cheese, such as Crottin.

This is quite a good tea. At first, it will surprise you with sweet aroma, which changes into nutty and vegetal (namely asparagus) as the aroma unfolds. It has a smooth feel in the mouth, but leaves a slightly astringent lingering aftertaste.
Even though it is a good tea that I would recommend, I think it is a bit expensive (15 eur /20 usd) for the quality you get.

Flavors: Asparagus, Chestnut
