2026 Pre-Qing Ming West Lake Long Jing 43

West Lake — Li Jia Wu Village, Xi Hu District

Fourth-Year Collaboration

This is our fourth year working with our friend Doreen, whose family is based in Li Jia Wu village within the prestigious West Lake (Xi Hu) production area.

Each spring, we secure a small allocation of true Mingqian Long Jing — harvested before the Qing Ming Festival (April 4–5), before the heavier spring rains begin.

Picking Dates and Timeline

Long Jing #43 cultivar: 27th Mar 2026

Why Mingqian Matters

Only a narrow window each spring qualifies as true 明前.

Slower early growth produces:

• Smaller, tighter buds
• Higher natural amino acids
• Greater sweetness and clarity

Yields are low during the several days budding and the family rushes to pick them by hands.

What to Expect in the Cup

• Fresh chestnut aroma
• Sweet pea and tender greens
• Silky texture
• Long, umami finish

Detailed tasting notes will be updated once harvest is complete.

Grootte:

Xi Hu Dragon Well is a variety of pan-roasted green tea from specific areas within Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The tea leaves are flat in shape and once they jump into the water, you can see them dancing freely in a glass cup. Freshness is king when it comes to green tea, and this applies especially to Dragon Well. Sometimes you open a good bag of roasted coffee beans and get indulged in its tempting aroma: think of Dragon Well as the green tea version of that brown coffee aroma.

It is a very delicate tea and produced mostly by hand. Renowned for its uniqueness and rareness, it tops the list of “10 Most Famous Chinese Teas”. Its high caffeine content makes it a pleasant and refreshing choice for all occasions.

Because of the limited time period that the quantity for this first flush is scarce, especially the ones that are from the core production areas in the famous Long Jing Village in Hangzhou. Cha Moods work directly with the tea family in the Li Jia Wu, ensuring this rare beauty is brought with minimal time and complexity to your home.
