The name Long Jing means "Dragon Well". This is truly a marvellous Green tea and one of the very first tea we offered for sale in TeaSpring. Even though it is not from Xihu area, this Long Jing still brews a cup of perfect tasting tea at a much more affordable price.
Lung Ching tea, also called "Dragon's Well," grows near the beautiful West Lake of Hangzhou on the only true tea "plantation" in China. A government-run business, the Lung Ching Tea Plantation is a popular tourist destination. The teas are described as being "...meticulously manufactured from the youngling buds and the tenderest leaves sprouting in the spring season." (Though, of course, tea is picked there at many times of the year.) There are many grades of Lung Ching tea, but all are distinguished by their flat, smooth appearance; emerald green color; fresh, fragrant aroma; and mellow, slightly sweet taste. Special Preparation
Longjing tea is grown in the Longjing mountain area of Hangzhou, southwest of the West Lake. The fertile land is both rich in phosphorus and sub-acidic sand. This region prevents the cold current from the north and holds back the warm current from the south, thus the growing area of Longjing tea can be coated by cloud and mist for long periods of time. With such favorable growing conditions, needless to say, Longjing tea is considered the best tea in China.
