Dragon Well organic tea: Lung Ching or Long Jing
Our Dragon Well organic tea is produced in Zhejiang Province, at the foot of Tian Mu mountain and is picked in April. It is a clonal tea grown for the distinct character of its leaf, readily apparent as carefully picked two leaves and a bud. The large, quintessentially, jade green leaves have a distinct, grassy, rose-like aroma. Being pan-fired the leaves are flat. The liquor of Dragon Well organic is bright, clear yellow-green. On the palate this is a fresh, smooth, medium-bodied tea with chestnut notes. Use one teaspoon per cup and infuse initially for three minutes with freshly boiled water that has cooled to 80 C. A beautiful tea, justly famous.
