Originating from the scenic West Lake area in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, it is celebrated for its "four perfections": green color, fragrant aroma, mellow taste, and elegant appearance. Made from tender early spring buds and crafted using traditional hand-firing techniques, Longjing tea offers a truly exceptional experience.
