Unique cultivar wok roasted green tea
If you’d like your green tea to be umami, refreshing, and slightly floral, yet not astrigent nor bitter, Tea Hong’s Little Tangerine, a unique green tea from Taiwan is a dreamlike answer. It is even softly sweet, with a smooth body and can be easily prepared using various temperature settings and brewing time. It is a single farm, early Spring (Pre-Ching-Ming) single batch harvest from the renowned Three Gorge (Sanxia) area, about 1.5 hour south of Taipei into the emerald mountains. The native tea cultivar is known between farmers as Ganzai 柑仔*, referring its leaf’s close resemblance to that of a kind of sweet tangerine native to this part of Asia. Formally the full name of the tea plant is Chin Shin Gan Zai 青心柑仔. While there are myths and theories about its origin, scholars are still researching how this unique tea bush has come into existance only in Taiwan. Genuine quality, especially that has been masterfully produced, is rare. However, since the farmer has asked us for a humble price, we have directly transferred that low markup in our offer to follow their faithful and honest efforts. Enjoy.

Mastery in wok-roasted green tea
The special taste profile of a classic Longjing demands not only a fine harvest from a genuine pedigree, but also the mastery of hand-roasting the leaves. To attain such a skill takes the willingness to endure years of hard practice*. On top of that, a fine Longjing is perhaps the most sought after tea in its native market that is China, and there are people there that are willing to pay thousands for half a kilo of this tea. As a result, good roasting masters are in high demand. A good master producing with top quality harvests is even more rare. To secure a genuinely high quality is therefore a very challenging task. More so at the accessible price we are offering at. Tea Hong's Longjing Traditional Supreme is a proud representation of the best quality of this precious craft, a taste that would have won nobles and mandarins in their tea competition, and when the Qing Emperor Qianlong was still young and flamboyant, and crazy about this tea. Two pack sizes available: 40 g (1.4 oz) and 70 g (2.5 oz) Please check an option below:
