Longjing Tea: the Jewel in the Crown
But just as prima donnas tend to be extravagantly gifted, so Longjing is a veritable superstar among teas. Devotees wax lyrical about it. Like French wine connoisseurs, they can tell you which part of the area it was grown in and will even hazard a guess at what day it was picked. They talk of flavours of spinach, wet grass and spring chestnuts. All in all, this isn't just a cup of Chinese green tea , it's the Champagne of the genre, and as such it should be represented in any good tea retailer or sit-down tea shop. It's a special occasion drink that deserves respect and veneration. That's why we at Teavision are proud to see Longjing tea in Australia.

Too much sun and the young buds lose their fragrance. (Obsessive...
