Long Jing is the most famous green tea in China. While Long Jing originated around Hangzhou City, it is now produced in many provinces resulting in a wide range of quality and flavor. There are thousands of Long Jing teas on the market but we have selected Da Fo Long Jing from Xin Chang County in Eastern Zhejiang because of the climate, skilled tea producers and history. Xin Chang County is one of the cradles of Chinese Buddhism with over 1,000 years of green tea production history. This certified organic tea is harvested before Qing Ming season with a picking of one plump bud with one or two leaves. The green, slightly yellow leaves are flat and smooth, straight and even which yields a bright green brew. Enjoy the long lasting floral aroma and mellow taste.
Seven Cups is an American tea company based in Tucson, Arizona. We source traditional, handmade Chinese teas directly from the growers and tea masters who make them, and we bring those teas back from China to share with people everywhere.
