Longjing 43 is a national clonal variety selected from the Longjing population by the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It is an excellent variety, shrub type, medium leaves, semi-open tree shape, dense branches, tea tree The plant is larger than the group species, with neat rows, and mature leaves are green with yellow, which are larger than the group species.

West Lake Longjing is divided into five major production areas. The Longjing tea in these five production areas are all distinguished by brand size, so the editor personally went to explore the Longjing tea in Shifeng Mountain. But just last year, my friend brought back a small bag of Longjing, which was about eight taels, and said it was a special version of Longjing tea, Longjing No. 43. I didn’t know Longjing No. 43 at the time, so I specifically asked the tea farmers of West Lake Longjing, and I learned that Longjing No. 43 was an improved variety of Longjing tea. At that time, Longjing No. 43 was an excellent variety cultivated by the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences after several years. Compared with ordinary Longjing tea, it was more fragrant and richer, and Longjing No. 43 was flatter in appearance than ordinary Longjing tea, especially the color was brighter. , the most important point is that Longjing No. 43 germinates earlier in spring than others. The overall germination density is not very high, so it is suitable for planting in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River toward the middle reaches.

In order to distinguish the taste of Longjing No. 43 from ordinary Longjing, the editor bought three to five taels of Longjing No. 43 in the early spring of this year, when it was just picked, because I still have the leftover Shifeng Ming from last year at home. Before, so I just used it for comparison. In fact, in terms of taste, it is about a 50-50 ratio. However, the blade expansion of Longjing No. 43 is indeed wider than that of ordinary Longjing without improvement. There is actually no big difference in taste. , because the editor also bought Shifeng Mingqian tea last year, so it is a good tea, and it costs about 3,000 per pound. At that time, I made a trip to Shifeng Mountain to buy tea, so I decided on Shifeng Longjing Mingqian tea. The price of Longjing No. 43 is not cheap either. Generally, the latest batch is around 2,000 yuan. After all, new tea may be more expensive. Those who want to try it will usually buy Longjing No. 43 as soon as possible.

As the name suggests, Longjing No. 43 is a new type of Longjing green tea that Chinese scientists have worked hard to improve. Whether at home or abroad, Longjing No. 43 is renowned in the green tea industry. Longjing No. 43 also demonstrates China’s long history and the power of modern China’s top biotechnology.
