Long-jing First Flush from Tea Hong

Long-jing First Flush

Green Tea by Tea Hong

This is the more affordable alternative for the most sought after Chinese green tea. While some people are willing to pay thousands for a small pack for something authentic harvested the earliest in Spring, Tea Hong brings you what is authentic but slightly later in the season, for similar enjoyment but much less in price. It is, nevertheless, still a first flush — some tea grows slower than others, dependent on the cultivar, horticulture and micro-climate.

Warm buttery aroma on an undertone of peas and cereals accented with light herbs and honey. Bright, lively infusion that tastes savory with light bites of bitter gourd accentuated with sea salt. Rich savory aftertaste that gradually becomes sweet and refreshing.
