In the middle of March, this year's stubble West Lake Longjing was listed! Due to natural conditions such as rainy climate, it is said that this year's tea is better than last year's.
Spring tea is as expensive as oil! Drink such a stubble of quality in a year, at present, the price of the head stubble West Lake Longjing is also between 6,000-20,000 per kilogram, and some better tea is also sold in limited quantities.
Some varieties were mined slightly 4 or 5 days earlier than in previous years, and some tea houses were officially mined on March 18. There will be more expensive varieties on the market in the second half of the future. The tea leaves before the Ming Dynasty Longjing, before the Qingming Festival, are tender and have few insect pests, and the taste is the best.
Since the beginning of March, there have been many west lake Longjing pre-sales in the circle of friends. The West Lake Longjing you bought is the West Lake Longjing, and it is not necessarily serious. Scarce source resources, taste the early can get long snacks.
Friends don't blindly try to be cheap, but also see if he really has the tea picking qualifications of West Lake Longjing.
The tea area that can be called the high-quality West Lake Longjing is so big that it is impossible for everyone to have resources, nor can it be too cheap.
In 2021, the tea production area of the first-class protected area, that is, the West Lake Scenic Area, is only 7369.7 mu, and the planting area of the entire West Lake Longjing is less than 1/3.
Only the Longjing of Hangzhou's West Lake Scenic Area can be counted as the West Lake Longjing.
If you look at the so-called special price sharp goods in the circle of friends that call themselves "West Lake Longjing", it is likely to come from Qiantang and Yuezhou production areas (the West Lake production area is called West Lake Longjing, and the other two places are commonly known as Zhejiang Longjing), and even Sichuan and Guizhou, which are not Longjing production areas. If you think it's affordable, have a drink.
The best place in the West Lake Longjing Tea District belongs to Shifeng Mountain. Others include Longjing Village, Lingyin, Wuyun Mountain, Tiger Run, and Meijiawu.
Later, I put a list for everyone (see the end of the article), you can compare whether the brand you want to buy is a formal qualification, and you can pick tea.
This year, 43 species of West Lake Longjing have been mined on March 12, and the group species are expected to be mined after March 20.
"43 varieties" is the most common variety in West Lake Longjing. Other species include group species, longleaf, frost, and dove pit species. Among them, the group species is the favorite of some veteran players. Wu Yutai's West Lake Longjing, which was already listed in Beijing on March 16, is 43 varieties of tea. It is said that there are also group species on the market one after another.
Finally, teach you a small way to identify the Lion Peak Dragon Well. Good dragon wells will be erected in the cup after brewing, of which only the Shifeng Dragon Well is leaf-facing downward stem upwards, and the other Dragon Wells are the opposite, which is the stem underneath. This shows that the leaves of Shifeng Longjing have more nutrients.
