Some teas—especially Japanese teas like sencha—benefit from consistency, and Chinese standards like longjing are no exception. The top 1% of microlot productions are indeed special, but the bulk of longjing is commodity tea, leaning on the West Lake brand name. Hugo’s is honest: factory-produced longjing from Xinchang, made with clean material from gardens owned by the farming company. It's exceptional, but more importantly, provides a reliable experience. SESSION LONGJING is meant to be just that: clean, sweet, balanced, easy-drinking, and highly sessionable. Expect easygoing notes of steamed white rice and sweet nut milk with medium body and a clean finish. Steep in warm (not hot!) water, or cold brew for that crisp summery vibe.
