Thé vert Long Jing Dragon Impérial

Brewed a cup this morning and the nutty, floral aroma filled the kitchen before I even took a sip. The flavor is smooth with that subtle baked note the description mentions, and it’s easily the best green tea I’ve had in months. I’ll be ordering more once this bag is gone.

The first steep tastes like toasted almonds with a hint of flowers, and the leaves hold their flavor through three rounds without turning bitter. Sitting down with a cup feels like a quiet ritual, the way the aroma fills the room right from the kettle.

The roasted, nutty aroma hits the moment the leaves hit the cup, and it lingers nicely even after the last sip. I’ve been brewing it a bit cooler than usual and the floral backbone really shines through.
