Frequently Asked Questions

Does Smith Teamaker Long Jing Dragonwell Green Tea Blend No. 86 have caffeine?
Yes. This green tea contains moderate caffeine—roughly 25–50 mg per 8 oz cup depending on steep time. It's lower than black tea but enough to provide a natural energy boost without overstimulation.

How do I brew this green tea properly?
Use water heated to 160–180°F and steep for 2–4 minutes. Shorter steeps yield a lighter, more delicate cup; longer steeps bring out deeper flavor. Loose leaf allows leaves room to expand, unlocking maximum flavor and aroma.

What makes Long Jing different from other green teas?
Long Jing (also known as Dragonwell) is a prestigious Chinese varietal prized for its naturally sweet, chestnut-like undertones and vibrant character. This blend captures that essence in an accessible, everyday format.
