Longjing appears at three levels here — standard, Qiantang and West Lake — and the price differs fortyfold. That is not a premium for the name: the higher the grade, the finer the leaf, the shorter the picking window and the longer the sweet finish.
Floral, lightly sweet. Lifts gently, without any edge.
Roasted chestnut, a bean-like note. Everyday, clear-headed.
Denser than the standard grade, nutty sweetness, clean finish. Clarity without agitation.
Fine, buttery, with a very long sweet finish. The head feels light and gathered. limited
Fresh greens and asparagus, almost broth-like body. Refreshes and settles at once.
