Description

This is the most well-known of famous Chinese teas from Hangzhou, its name in Chinese means dragon well. It is pan-fired to stop the fermentation process before the leaves completely dry out and has a distinctive flat appearance. Lung Ching is a famous variety of green tea from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China where it is produced mostly by hand and has been renowned for its high quality.

When steeped, this tea produces a beautiful green color with a gentle, pure aroma. The flavor is rich with subtle chestnut undertones while maintaining a sweet taste. It is a very enjoyable tea that will not disappoint. Entirely handmade, it has the fresh aroma and beautiful jade-green color usually found in significantly more expensive grades.

The beverage green tea is a "true" tea (i.e., Camellia sinensis) that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. The shorter processing gives green tea a lighter flavour than black tea. It also helps keep all the beneficial chemicals intact, which is why green tea is so good for you. All the different kinds of green tea have different flavours, but they do have a taste in common. The flavour of green tea can be described as: fresh, light, green, or grassy. Some varieties of green tea have a bit of sweetness to them, and some are a little astringent. The variety as well as the location in which is it grown will determine all the nuances of the leaf.

Because the leaf has little oxidation, green tea reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. These antioxidants in green tea have been shown to neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
