Dragon Well (Long Jing) green tea is one of the most famous Chinese green teas, and originated in West Lake of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Due to its wide spread demand worldwide, it is now cultivated in most of Zhejiang province as  well as other provinces in China, resulting in quality and taste that varies significantly. 

Each year we secure the very first batch of the micro-lot old bush dragon well tea that is harvested in the late March in a beautiful high mountain in Xincang county, Zhejiang province. With all of the attributes of exceptional quality, a floral fragrance and nuttiness wonderfully hit your nose. It possesses a very smooth, sweet and clean taste, like a mountain stream flowing down through your throat, comforting you. This tea truly reflects the four distinctive characteristics of a high quality dragon well, flat spear shape, pale green color, intense aroma, and sweet aftertaste. A true delicacy you don't want to miss!
