China's famous pan roasted tea from Hangzhou in Zhejian province which gets its name from the Dragon Well legend. Yellow-green cup and a light sweet taste with a hint of chestnut.

It has an impressive imperial mark of approval.

The grandson of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong, had tasted the tea from one of 18 plants grown at Hu Gong temple. Taking some to his grandfather, Emperor Kangzi was so impressed he granted the 18 tea bushes the title Gong Cha (Imperial Tea).

Lung Jing (Long Jing) means Dragon Well also located in Hangzhou and reflects the importance of water quality in brewing the best cup of tea

Lung Jing is often called the national drink of China and is frequently given to visiting heads of state. It is also a favourite tea of today's top leaders, with a portion of production reserved for government customers.

Light and fruity but holding its essential high grown green qualities with a pale yellow cup. A must for anyone interested in classic teas.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
