• Flavor     Longjing tea has a fresh, mellow, and slightly sweet taste. It gives a refreshing sensation upon tasting and has a long-lasting aftertaste. The flavor combines the freshness of green tea with a hint of sweetness and a touch of chestnut or bean aroma, creating a rich and layered taste experience.
