A peek at the leaves of this incredible green tea and you can tell it’s a labour of love. One of China’s most famous teas, Dragonwell is a flat, needle-like tea with a sweetness and subtle strength that well deserves its name.

Only the finest tea from the West Lake area of Zhejiang is used to make Lung Ching Tea, also known as Dragonwell. It is produced, by hand, through a 10-part process that results in its beautiful shape, emerald colour, nutty to sweet scent, and subtle sweet-floral character. This is a Lung Ching Grade #2 only surpassed by the rarer Grade #1 and Superior.
