They have been selected from trusted growers located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The temperate, overcast and rainy winter climate of Hangzhou contributes to the tenderness and sweetness of the buds and leaves which are picked early in the Spring and are then expertly pan-fried in a wok which further brings out the tea's unique characteristics, with slight sweet and bitter subtleties and the distinguished 'roasted chestnut' aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our highest grade of Long Jing tea! The leaves and buds are extremely small and uniform and are light green in color. The soup produced is exceptionally soft and fragrant, and a very pleasant 'hui gan' lingers in the back of the mouth and throat well after drinking. The taste and aroma last through many infusions, and the brewed leaves give a particularly good mouth-feel when chewed on!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend you order other grades first before ordering this one. Taste this side by side with Premium and Fancy grades we offer and you will taste the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Qing Dynasty, the imperial Qing court considered Dragon Well to be the tea of choice for summer consumption while they favored Pu-erh tea during the winter. This is likely due to the soft, refreshing, and cooling taste that the tea provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended way to brew Dragon Well tea is to use approximately 4 or 5 grams of tea for 250ml of water, in a glass cup or glass cha hai pitcher.

Classic Laoshan green tea is small leaf, tippy (but without silver hairs) and tightly rolled, but not compressed like a Tie Guan Yin.  The varietal grown is Long Jing #43 and as such the tea from Laoshan shares it character.  The Classic Laoshan taste is thick, pungent, savory and vegetal.  It's perhaps slightly less sweet than the first flush Imperial Grade, having slightly larger and thicker leaves gives this tea a more robust flavor.  Many seasoned tea drinkers might appreciate the niceties of the the more elegant Imperial Grade, but may find themselves wanting to drink the Classic grade for it's pungent green taste (which is very stimulating).  I find the classic grade to be very enjoyable and a worthy counterpoint to the daintier Imperial grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe feel

Purple Bud has long been known as a scattered deviation that grows extensively among different kinds of tea plants. It is most common in summer tea. High anthocyanin content provides its purple color. It also results in a bitter flavor, which has given the purple buds a reputation as unsuitable for tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, in the late 70's and early 80's Wuyi Stone Tea (Yan Cha) producers discovered that Stone Tea variants could be cultivated and tamed, resulting in a fine tea variety with high yield and stress resistance. This also reduced much of the tea's bitterness. Consequently, the Fujian Tea Research Society produced a new asexual tea variety through natural hybridization of Da Hong Pao tea: Purple Bud Stone Tea. In technical terms, it is a medium leaf, late budding, shrub tea variety. It features dark yellow-green tender tips, purple buds, purplish-red leaf bases, short space between sections, little fuzz, soft leaves, and dense bud tips. In addition, it grows with high yield, and high stress resistance. Spring buds occur in mid to late March and one-bud-three-leaf growth occurs in mid to late April. The quality of this tea is excellent when processed as an Oolong. This variety represents a successful example of utilizing and improving on precious existing tea tree resources and is suitable for widespread cultivation in Oolong tea growing areas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilding on this breeding experience with Oolong teas, research was begun into the cultivation of variants of Yunnan large-leaf teas. In 1985, technical staff from the Yunnan Tea Research Institute discovered a tea tree with purple buds, leaves, and stalk among the institutes' plantation of over 600,000 trees. They processed its fresh leaves to produce a dark green roasted tea. The dried tea had a purple color and maintained this color in its brewed tea liquor. It also possessed a pure fragrance and a strong, intense flavor. Because of the tea's purple buds, leaves, and stems and the fact that it maintained this purple color after processing, they named the tea \"Purple Beauty.\" Through research and further cultivation, this variant has given rise to current Purple Beauty tea trees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple Beauty tea trees are considered a small arbor\/shrub, big leaf, medium bud variety. The tea trees have a half-open appearance with high branches and moderate branch density. Leaves grow with an upward slant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpring buds occur in late February and full one-bud-three-leaf growth occurs between late March and early April.  Bud growth is strong with moderate density. The buds are a purple color and are relatively plump, fuzzy, and tender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tea is well-suited to planting in large-leaf tea growing areas due to its high capacity for cuttage reproduction and resistance to cold, drought, and disease. It can be grown in the same manner as other Yunnan large-leaf teas. Tea tree production volume is moderate. Purple Beauty has an elevated aroma, smooth and light mouth feel (\u003cem\u003ekou gan\u003c\/em\u003e), but with a  noticeable bitterness. Numerous plantations began cuttage cultivation of Purple Beauty trees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional Purple Bud refers to a bud deviation in large-leaf arbor trees due to seasonal and growing conditions. Only a few trees in a tea forest produce purple buds, and even ancient trees produce limited purple buds. Purple Beauty, on the other hand, is a cuttage plantation tree grown with high yield and tight planting. Tea variants are preselected with light and temperature added to encourage trees throughout the plantation to develop a purple color from the buds to the leaves and stalks. Traditional Purple Bud leaf blades are thick and dark green. The prominent veins in the leaves are similar to those of wild tea.  Traditional purple bud arbor tea brews a golden-yellow tea liquor with a heavy mouth feel and full flavor, while purple beauty has thin tea liquor, brownish-green color, and is relatively bitter. The two share high levels of anthocyanin.  The roasted tea is somewhat bitter and astringent, and the brewed liquor is a brownish green or indigo blue color, the sun-dried version shares some character with Pu-erh and has balanced astringency \/ bitter character.  Sun-dried Purple beauty is suitable for compression and aging as well!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121324646599,"sku":"","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325072583,"sku":"","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325105351,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325138119,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":45121325170887,"sku":"","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/DSC_1212.JPG?v=1557493627"},{"product_id":"jasmine-silver-needles-white-tea-of-yunnan","title":"Jasmine Silver Needles White tea of Yunnan","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpring harvest silver needles white tea from the mountains of Simao was infused with high quality Yunnan grown jasmine flowers.  A nice balanced sweet jasmine tea with notes of sugarcane and fruit.  Naturally processed from start to finish.  Very pleasant to drink!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLate-March to Early April Harvested White Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJasmine Flowers Harvested in May.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal:  Yun Kang #10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure Bud Pluck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"50 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":32116534739047,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":32116534771815,"sku":"","price":14.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":32116534804583,"sku":"","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":32116534837351,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kilogram \/ Spring 2025","offer_id":32116534870119,"sku":"","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/9817\/products\/1_048b27ec-b05d-4132-aa92-e8812938ab55.jpg?v=1647004526"},{"product_id":"jasmine-dong-ting-bi-luo-chun-green-tea","title":"Jasmine Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun Green Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eYunnan Style Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun ultra-tippy green tea with premium jasmine flowers.
