This place has a very long history in producing Long Jing, and there is the original tea tree that was the tribute tea for the emperor of China. Shi Feng Long Jing has a rich and complex flavor that changes as you drink. This singular tea experience is created by a combination of traditional growing practice, picking standard, and processing methods.
This picking standard is one bud to two tender leaves. Compared to our Da Fo Long Jing, Shi Feng has a deeper, nuttier flavor and a more complex aftertaste. Owing to its traditional processing, the tea's aroma is not grassy — it is an uncommon combination of gentle floral notes over a smack of toasted soybean character.
