LONG JING (Dragon Well) Spring Green Tea

龙井 Dragon Well (Long Jing)

Dragon Well is a type of green tea that is the TOP 1 of the most famous 10 Chinese tea. This tea is produced in the Hangzhou region of Zhejiang Province in China, where the climate and soil are ideal for growing tea. The name "Long Jing" translates to "Dragon Well," which refers to a legendary well in the region that was said to be guarded by a dragon.

The leaves of Long Jing tea are hand-picked in the spring and then quickly pan-fired to stop the oxidation process. This results in a tea that is light and refreshing, with a subtle nutty flavor and a slightly sweet finish. Long Jing tea is known for its flat, pointed leaves that are pale green in color and have a distinctive shape that resembles the blade of a sword.

In China, Long Jing tea is highly prized and is often given as a gift or served to guests as a sign of hospitality. It has also gained popularity in other parts of the world, where it is appreciated for its smooth flavor and health benefits. Long Jing tea is rich in antioxidants and has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve brain function.
