Long Jing(Green Dragon Well) Tea

Long Jing tea is a famous variety of green tea where it is produced mostly by hand and has been renowned for its high quality, earning the China Famous Tea title.

Long Jing is often called the national drink of China and is frequently given to visiting heads of state. It is also a favorite tea of today�s top leaders, with a portion of production reserved for government customers.

Like most other Chinese green tea, Long Jing tea leaves are pan fried to stop the fermentation process. In the world of tea, the term fermentation refers to the drying of the freshly picked leaves, resulting in enzymatic oxidation. This oxidation is stopped by frying or steaming the leaves before they completely dry out. As is the case with other green teas, Long Jing tea leaves are unfermented. When steeped, the tea produces a yellow-green color, a gentle, pure aroma, and a rich flavor. The tea contains Vitamin C, amino acids, and has one of the highest concentrations of catechins among teas, second only to white teas.

Our famous Long Jing tea comes from the Zhejiang Province in Coastal Northeast China.

Each ounce of tea yields approximately 8 to 10 servings.
