Shifeng Longjing

Description

In the world of green tea, West Lake Longjing recognized as the most precious one, and among which, Shi Feng Longjing is the pinnacle. Pre-Qingming Shi Feng Longjing is considered the ultimate benchmark for green teas worldwide. It was the imperial tea of Chinese emperors for generations, who composed poems to praise it. It is also the most famous green tea in the world.

Why is Shi Feng so precious?

In terms of production, while areas around West Lake in Hangzhou are known for West Lake Longjing, only a few tea gardens at the summit of Shi Feng Mountain produce Shi Feng Longjing. Due to its supreme quality, the best harvest time is just about ten days. Therefore, pre-Qingming Shi Feng Longjing is exceptionally rare, highly sought after, and expensive due to its limited production. Its rarity and limited quantity have led to a market flooded with imitations. Chabon’s expert in selection, with over 20 years of experience, visits Shi Feng multiple times each spring to personally select the production area, harvest date, and oversee the craftsmanship, striving to bring the best value of “Shi Feng Longjing”, China’s number one tea, as well as the spring of China, to Toronto.

Quality Characteristics

Pre-Qingming Shi Feng Longjing tea leaves are a mix of brown rice color and jade pieces, yielding a bright yellow-green broth when brewed, with a rich taste and high fragrance. Due to the short production period and scarce availability, it must be pre-ordered. It is a treasure for private tasting and a gift representing precious sentiments. This year’s pre-Qingming Shi Feng Longjing has already been purchased, with an expected arrival in Toronto by June. Pre-orders are closed once the quota is filled.
