2022 Long Jing - Dragon Well

A famous line of tea from the Chinese province of Zhejiang, not far from the town of Hangzhou. It bears the name of a place of pilgrimage for all lovers of this kind of tea in the Tiyun Mountains, where according to legend the best water to prepare it gushes up at the Tiger Spring. A flat robust leaf light green to yellow in color is the hallmark of quality Long Jing. This tea is considered the king of all Chinese green tea among connoisseurs. The translucent light grey infusion has an extremely fine taste and aroma. Even after several re-infusions of hot water, the tea remains distinguished. Long Jing Tiger Spring is exclusively hand-processed in large metal bowls. The Spring harvest in March and April produces the best quality.
