Long Jing Green Tea from China

Long Jing (Dragon Well) from West Lake-Hangzhou - True origin of timeless authenticity. This tea is a symbol of China's rich tea heritage and one of the most revered green teas in the world.

Known for its flat, sword-shaped leaves, Long Jing tea is meticulously handpicked during the early spring season when the only tender young leaves and buds are at their peak.

The leaves are then gently pan-roasted using an ancient technique that imparts a subtle roasted chestnut flavour and preserves their vibrant green colour. This delicate process gives Long Jing its signature fresh, sweet taste, with hints of vegetal sweetness, smooth, balanced and a floral aroma that delights the senses.

What makes Long Jing from West Lake region in Hangzhou truly special is its unique terroir. The cool, misty climate and fertile soil provide an ideal environment for growing tea leaves that are rich in flavour and antioxidants.

The combination of the region’s natural beauty and its historical significance elevates Long Jing to a tea of distinction, one that has been enjoyed by Chinese emperors and tea connoisseurs for over a thousand years.
