I used to buy them directly from China, but logistics was a pain and quality is polarized and unpredictable. Recently, I discovered there are tea sellers on Amazon. I decided to give them a try. I set my first attempt’s budget at tea under $4/oz range. This price range is good enough for average people’s daily consumption.I also tried Cha Wu, FullChea. To my surprise, they all deserve a 5 star for tea under $4 per oz grade. I am very happy to see these sellers are serious to establish a brand in US Amazon. My best wishes to all of them. I won’t demand any improvement, I only hope for consistency!fyi, my picture of tea in hot water is just for review purpose. To properly drink this type of tea, you need to use a filter that you can take tea out after 20 second.

This tea is excellent. The cost wasn’t bad, the bag expands when open it up.

Very good, real LongJing!

Long jin is the most famous green tea of China and the tea given to visiting dignitaries. I used to buy long jin from Hong Kong. It was very good but very expensive. As with wine, the long jin grown in different locations has degrees of flavor. This long jin is not quite so good as what I was getting before, but it is the only long jin I will buy now because it is being sold for only a small fraction of the price I was paying, and it is still has the lovely long jin taste. Green tea is delicate and should be steeped 180° for 30-45 seconds. I have a thermostatted pot for heating the water. Just don't boil it. And for goodness sake don't steep it for three minutes! It will ruin the delicate flavor and make the taste metallic and awful.

Best Long Jing I've ever tasted at this price point. And from West Lake. Follow the brewing directions. Almost as good as pre-ming.

I really like the flavor of this tea. I had to wait more than a month before it finally arrived. It is well worth the wait! I was wrapped nicely. I transfered into an air tight container. I am now enjoying this tea twice a day. I have high blood pressure and so far so good.....I'm off of 2 of my medications. I have been drinking it for more than a month. Had my blood test last week and doctor was impressed! I'm very happy with my purchase! I definitely buy again from this seller.

After tried so many different green tea, Long jing is my favorite. My friend in China gave me a bag of Long jing, it smelled so good after it is brewed. Once that is gone, I missed how it’s smell and taste. So I started the journey of finding good Long Jing. Honestly, I have been buying so many from different sellers and different stores with different price.After so many tries, this seller probably had the best quality of Long Jing tea. So I just order a higher grade one from Oriarm again and hope that I can find what my friend gave me. :)

First time trying Long Jing for me. My first brew was at 195F, and it was a big mistake. The tea was extremely bitter! Subsequent brews at the recommended temperature was much better. Overall, I don't think I like the taste of this tea. If all Long Jing tastes like this, then Long Jing is not my cup of tea.

from the smell to the finale, an adventure to the senses...

It is worthy of the money.

Delicious tea. Packaging was really good also.I once worked with a friend who had immigrated from China and he shared a delicious green tea with me.I believe it was Long Jing tea since it looked similar but perhaps the leaves were larger. I can't confirm what kind it was since the bag was written completely in chinese.Point being this guy was serious about his tea and would have family members send it to him from back home. I remember him mentioning a bag would cost 100$ or more.This tea tastes very similar and reminds of those tasty cups I have not had in a decade. Enjoy!

Buonissimo prodotto, arriva in confezione con chiusura salva freschezza per chiuderlo bene dopo ogni utilizzo. C'è un Qr code che rimanda al sito della ditta cinese che spedisce. Così si possono vedere anche tutte le altre varietà che vendono. Insieme al tè ordinato è arrivato anche un assaggio di Jasmine green tra.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto diverse volte ed è ottimo, sia come sapore che freschezza. L'ultimo acquisto però non l'ho gradito per due motivi, uno per il notevole aumento di prezzo iniziale, due perché ho dovuto pagare ulteriormente, € 13,70 per ritirare il pacco, quindi in futuro, mi spiace, ma non lo comprerò più.
