How it's used

Longjing is a specific variety of green tea that is highly prized for its flat, smooth leaves and nutty, chestnut-like aroma. It is frequently served in traditional dim sum restaurants, though it is often considered a more premium choice compared to standard house teas like 普洱 or 鐵觀音. When ordering, you might hear people specify the harvest time, such as 明前 or 雨前, to indicate the quality and freshness of the leaves.
