Camellia sinensis cultivar Longjing 43
With the Longjing 43 tea plant, a piece of Chinese tea art moves right into your home. This time-honored Camellia sinensis cultivar originates from Zhejiang Province—the birthplace of the famous Longjing tea—and is known for its outstanding aroma and the delicate, flat-pressed leaves that have made this tea world-famous. Longjing 43 is perfect for home cultivation, combining centuries-old tradition with modern robustness—ideal for balconies, terraces, or gardens in Central Europe. The plant impresses not only with its uniform leaf structure and fresh, slightly nutty aroma, but also with its ability to adapt excellently to changeable weather conditions. You aren't simply cultivating a tea plant, but rather a living connection to the history and craftsmanship of Chinese tea culture—a quiet ritual that you can now shape yourself every day.
