建议:为保证口感,请尽快饮用.

suggestion: To ensure the taste, please drink as soon as possible.

此龙井茶产自西湖龙井核心产区狮峰山产区，由我公司产品经理从合作20余年的当地茶农手中收集而来。

群体种是龙井茶最早的品种，也是目前来看茶叶品质最好的，现在人们常说的狮峰山上的西湖龙井茶就是这个品种。一般来说，群体种采摘的时间较其它品种要晚一些，大约在清明左右。该品种的种植面积仅限于西湖产区，面积十分有限。

龙井群体种所生产的特级龙井，其茶香口感甘醇浓厚，回甘更强，并且，在冲泡之后，龙井的香气也是馥郁持久，不过对于这类型的茶叶来说，更适合老茶客的口感，对于初次接触龙井的人，可能口感上会有些许的不适应。

Longjing (Dragon Well) is the most famous green tea in China. Longjing tastes sweet, mellow, and rounded. It has a fresh, snap-pea and slightly chestnut and butter fragrance, a toasty smooth flavor with delicate nutty notes. It's never astringent or bitter-tasting when brewed correctly. Regular consumption is known to lower blood pressure and help keep cholesterol levels under control, thus helping to prevent atherosclerosis and lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease.

Longjing is grown in the mountains around the West Lake area of Hangzhou in the central coastal province of Zhejiang, an area long believed to be proof of Heaven on Earth. The area has been producing critically acclaimed green teas since at least the Song Dynasty, when Lu Yu, the famous author, mentioned the region in The Classic of Tea. Hangzhou and specifically the area around Xihu (West Lake) is known for a mild, temperate, and often rainy climate, creating the perfect terroir to maximize flavor.

In the village of Longjing, Dragon Well refers to an auspicious local well, where the swirling rainwater with particularly dense groundwater gives the impression of dragons beneath the surface. Longjing was named after that well near the Old Longjing Temple some 1700 years ago. While digging the well, a farmer found a unique dragon-shaped stone and called it Dragon Well. A popular legend is that a dragon lived near the well and during an extreme drought, the dragon saved the village by providing rain. In any case, Longjing tea grown in the area of Dragon Well is magical, fragrant, and the most highly praised green tea. 

Once designated as a tribute tea, offered to visit dignitaries, it is frequently found listed among the Ten Famous Teas of China, (aka Zhong Guo Shi Da Ming Cha 中国十大名茶 .) Longjing tea was made famous by the Qing Emperors who loved Hangzhou City. While visiting Hu Gong Temple, Emperor Qian Long loved Longjing tea so much that he claimed the eighteen bushes for himself ranking them as Tribute Tea Trees. Visitors can still admire these vibrant trees today at the foot of Shi Feng Mountain.
