　　Longgu Lady Tea

　　Longgu Lady Tea, produced in Suichang County. The tea leaves are straight and slender like eyebrows, with emerald green color and visible fine hairs. It boasts a delicate and long-lasting fragrance, a tender green and clear broth, a mellow and refreshing taste, and tender, bright leaf bases. When brewed, the young buds stand upright in the cup, graceful and elegant, as if ladies are dancing — hence the name “Longgu Lady.”

　　The “Longgu” brand of tea has a long history. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Suichang was already one of the 40 renowned tea-producing regions in China, supplying tribute tea to the imperial court every year. Longgu Lady Tea is a green food product and an internationally award-winning famous tea. The excellent quality of “Longgu Lady” tea comes from its unique natural ecological environment and exquisite production techniques. The tea is harvested with great care, mainly between Clear and Bright Festival and Grain Rain, selecting one bud with one initial leaf or uniformly plump young buds as the standard. It is meticulously processed through five steps: withering, fixing, rolling, shaping, and drying.
