2026 Pre-Qingming West Lake Longjing – Luxury Green Tea Gift Box (125g)

2026 Pre-Qingming West Lake Longjing – Luxury Green Tea Gift Box (125g)

China's Most Celebrated Tea. Now Yours.

There are teas — and then there is West Lake Longjing. For over a thousand years, this legendary Dragon Well green tea from the shores of Hangzhou's West Lake has graced the tables of emperors, poets, and connoisseurs. In 2026, we harvested ours before the Qingming Festival — the most coveted window of the entire year, when the youngest buds emerge and the flavor is at its most extraordinary.

This is not just a cup of tea. This is a ritual.

The Longjing Experience

The moment you open the box, a wave of toasted chestnut and fresh spring grass fills the room. Pour the water — watch the flat, jade-green leaves slowly unfurl and dance. Take the first sip: smooth, round, and deeply satisfying, with a natural sweetness that lingers long after the cup is empty.

  • 🌿 Pre-Qingming Harvest (明前) — the rarest and most prized grade, picked before April 5th
  • 🏔️ Authentic West Lake Origin — sourced from the protected designation of origin in Hangzhou, Zhejiang
  • Flat, Hand-pressed Leaves — the signature shape of true Longjing, crafted by skilled artisans
  • 🍵 Flavor Profile: toasted chestnut · fresh vegetal sweetness · smooth umami · zero bitterness
  • 🎁 Includes 1 Complimentary Green Tea Tasting Cup — elevate the ritual from the very first sip
