I got this tea for a general idea of the relative quality of Ten Ren's Longjings, without much investment.
You can get a lot of loose Longjing here for not much money at all. The downside is that the quality isn't so great. Many leaves are broken, other leaves are bent, etc. For most people, I would recommend much higher quality....
Initially I was hesitant about Ten Ren Longjing because I did not care for their tea bag Longjing. This loose tea also carries some of the idiosyncratic qualities. Grassy and smoky, evidence that the tea was not roasted correctly, the same as their bagged version.
