Longjing green tea is often complex in flavor and commensurately expensive. This Longjing has a pleasant, satisfying simplicity at a modest price. For everyday drinking rather than focused sipping this Longjing will perk up even the most jaded palate. Longjing Dafo Village shows a dry "pull" of astringency that is extremely thirst-quenching.

Delicious Longjing tea has been made here for many centuries. This fine Longjing tea is made just outside of the Xi Hu designation in Xin Chang county. There is a long history of tea cultivation and tea drinking in this region: much of it began centuries ago to supply the needs of the resident monks and visiting scholars at the Dafo Buddhist Temple ( constructed 4th
century BC). Chinese tea enthusiasts seek out Dafo Longching for its clean, refreshing flavor and lower price.
