Dragon Well Long Jing green tea is one of the most famous teas in China, referred to in Chinese as Long Jing. It is highly sought after for its unique taste and aroma. It originated in West Lake of Hangzhou, and is now cultivated in other parts of Zhejiang province and other regions of China, resulting in a tea that can vary significantly in quality and taste. 

This specific tea is harvested from the locally grown high mountain historic varietal called Qunti Zhong, which exhibits noticeably more flavorful taste than the commonly grown other Long Jing varietals. It has chestnut like flavor, full bodied, very smooth and has a sweet after taste. This is truly an excellent every day delicious tea and provides an authentically satisfying dragon well experience.
