Li Shui, Zhe Jiang province is south of Hangzhou city, one of the major Long Jing producing regions. This batch is a wild grown harvest, bright, bold and sweet, not astringent, not bitter, not grassy. We bought this batch for the value, a very nice dragon well with a small price tag.
Long Jing - Dragon Well green tea, a Zhe Jiang province specialty tea. It has been a tribute tea for centuries catering to the discriminative royal palates. Zhe Jiang area produces good tea and great scholars throughout Chinese history. The old saying of the soil and water of that land nourish the people of that land. The energy of this land is magical because a very large percentage of famous scholars were born here.
We keep all of our green teas at a cool temperature to preserve the freshness for a long time.
Recommended water for tea: very good quality filtered water, ie reverse osmosis filtered water. Spring water suppresses the fragrance quite a bit. Tap water is prohibited!
