Dragon Well (Longjing) tea, also known as Dragon Well tea, is a renowned variety of green tea originating from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Origin and History
Longjing tea is produced in the mountains surrounding Longjing Village, near West Lake in Hangzhou.
It has a history of over 1,200 years, with records indicating that tea was produced in Longjing during the Tang Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, Longjing tea was a favorite of Emperor Qianlong.
Classification and Grades
Longjing tea is divided into several grades, including Superior, Special, and grades 1 through 5, based on quality.
The most prestigious varieties, such as West Lake Longjing, are highly valued for their unique characteristics.
Production Process
The picking and processing of Longjing tea are highly meticulous.
Leaves are harvested in the early morning to preserve their freshness.
The tea undergoes steps such as pan-frying (killing the enzymes to prevent fermentation), rolling, and drying to retain its natural fragrance and delicate flavor.
Characteristics and Taste
Longjing tea leaves have a flat and elegant appearance with a vibrant green color.
When brewed, the tea produces a clear and bright infusion with a gentle, pure aroma and a rich, mellow flavor.
It is renowned for its four distinctive characteristics: "green color, rich fragrance, sweet taste, and beautiful appearance."
