Fresh from the early spring fields of Hangzhou, this 2025 Longjing green tea is crafted from the Ujiuzao cultivar, known for its early budding and smooth, refreshing taste. Harvested in late March, just as the first tender shoots emerge, this tea is pan-fired by hand using traditional Dragon Well techniques, resulting in a clean, aromatic brew that’s perfect for everyday enjoyment.

What is Ujiuzao?
Ujiuzao (Wu Niu Zao) is one of China’s earliest-budding tea cultivars, prized for its ability to capture the freshness of spring ahead of traditional Longjing varieties. With full-bodied buds and a rich concentration of natural compounds, it produces a light yet satisfying cup with delicate bean-like aroma and soft sweetness. Its early harvest makes it a staple in spring green teas and a favorite among seasoned tea drinkers.

Tasting Notes
The liquor is pale and clear, offering a soft, nutty aroma with hints of edamame and roasted chestnut. On the palate, it's smooth and mellow with no bitterness, leaving a gentle sweetness that lingers. Balanced and easy to drink, it’s a go-to choice for those who appreciate clean flavor and a calm, comforting tea experience.

Craftsmanship & Origin
Sourced from high-altitude tea gardens in Hangzhou, this tea is made with one bud and one leaf from the season’s first flush. Using the traditional Longjing pan-firing method, artisans roast the leaves in small batches to preserve the tea’s natural aroma and freshness. Hangzhou’s cool climate and mineral-rich soil contribute to a distinctly soft and fragrant brew that can’t be imitated by teas from other regions.
