ChaWuWarmSun [B] LongJing Green Tea Loose Leaf - 3.5oz/100g Dragon Well Tea - Traditional Roasted Fried Bean Aroma - Spring Harvest - Hangzhou Chinese Tea Whole Leaf

Very nice longjing [B grade]. I am reviewing the B grade, meaning a slightly later harvest, with slightly larger leaves. However, the leaves are still very nice, and most are one bud one leaf or one bud two leaves. They arrived almost entirely unbroken thanks to the excellent packaging by ChaWu Tea. Aroma notes: Dry leaf- mild and nutty, slightly sweet Wet leaf- more potent aroma. Initial strong toasted notes turn to slightly fruity, and clean sweetgrass. Taste notes: Slightly nutty, faint hints of butter and a clean grassyness with notes from the roasting process. A very pure tasting green tea. High catechin and tastes very healthy. Overall this is an excellent introductory longjing for a good price. Almost completely unbroken, one to two leafs per bud, and an excellent green tea flavor. Higher grades will of course be sweeter and more refined in taste, but for the price this is an excellent tea, a very healthy daily drinker.

I am a big tea drinker for over 20 years. My all time favor is Long Jing (aka Dragon Well). I used to buy directly from China. Logistics was a pain and quality was unpredictable. Recently, I discovered there are more tea sellers on Amazon. I decided to give them a try. My budget for my first sample tasting is tea under $4/oz range. And my review is based on expectation of this grade of tea. Cha Wu's comes in with the best vacuum sealed packaging in a cardboard box. Its aroma is slightly faint, but you can smell Long Jing’s distinct aroma. Its leafs are exactly as described, b-grade, which is a few leafs from the bud picked towards mid of the season. Its color is pretty, with slightly dark green from stir-drying. In hot water, you can see more clearly of its leafs’ shapes. These leafs are consistent, healthy and relatively tender. Cha Wu’s flavor, like its scent is also on the light side. As a Chengdu tea drinker, you need to take your time to savor ;) I also tried Oriarm, FullChea. They all deserve a 5 star for tea in $3 per oz grade. I am very happy that I finally found a stable source for my tea. (fyi, the tea in hot water in my photo is just to show the leafs. To properly drink this type of tea, you nee a filter so you can take it out after 20 second to a minute depends on your taste.)

This is a solid, affordable option for daily drinking. The leaves are fresh and flat and brews a smooth, slightly sweet cup with little bitterness.. While this is not top tier Dragon Well, it is solid choice for those seeking an affordable introduction to green teas.

I consider myself a tea aficionado, and this Green tea might be the best one I have ever experienced, certainly the best on Amazon! It is definitely a premium product, you will never find this quality in any brick and mortar stores. The actual tea leaves look very fresh and have a pleasant aroma. The flavor of this tea brewed is quite pleasant, but also subtle. Just like all Green, White and Oolong teas, this tea must be brewed correctly in order to achieve its maximum flavor. That means proper temperature, timing and dosage. It must be brewed at around 180F for no more than 1 to 2 minutes. It can then be brewed again at a HIGHER temperature (around 200F) for approximately 3 minutes. Second brew is not as flavorful but still adds a bit of the less refined, Black or Oolong tea taste. It actually tastes completely differently on its second brew. I highly recommend this specific tea from this specific merchant, this is my favorite Camelia Sinesis product!

I just received the replacement at the courtesy of Cha Wu. I am extremely pleased with the product this time. The product is as good as expected. I can taste the freshness and fragrance of the tea. As a tea drinker for decades I can tell you that the product is well worth the price. I will continue to be a royal customer of Cha Wu, not only because of the quality of their products, also because of their excellent customer service. They will reach out to you if you have any issues and try to find out the solution. Thumbs up for them!

It does have a fresh grassy taste but not strong enough for me no matter the brew time.

Good quality tea. I'm satisfied!

this product is quality-always stable and healthy
