Lung Ching Dragon Well Tea - Premium Chinese Green Tea

One of China's most celebrated teas, Lung Ching: or Dragon Well, has been treasured for centuries. Pan-roasted by skilled artisans, it offers something distinctly different from steamed green teas: a warm, toasty character with an unmistakable smooth, nutty depth.

Produced using the traditional pan-firing technique in Zhejiang Province, Lung Ching's flat, jade-green leaves are hand-shaped in hot woks to create the distinctive sword-like appearance. This process halts oxidation and imparts a gentle roasted quality that sets Dragon Well apart from other green teas. The infusion is a pale golden-green with a fresh, inviting aroma and a full-bodied, nutty flavour that finishes clean and sweet. It can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion offering a subtly different expression of its character.

Why You'll Love It

Classic Chinese craftsmanship: Pan-roasted by hand in the traditional style of Zhejiang Province, one of China's most revered tea regions
Smooth and approachable: Nutty, clean flavour with none of the grassiness or astringency that some green teas carry
Versatile steeping: The quality leaf can be infused up to four times, each steeping yielding a distinct and enjoyable cup
Pure and simple: Single-ingredient green tea, nothing added, nothing removed

Origins & Character

Lung Ching produces a pale golden-green liquor with a gentle, fresh aroma and a warm, nutty character. The flavour is soft and full-bodied, more rounded than steamed Japanese-style green teas, with a natural sweetness on the finish. There is no bitterness when brewed correctly, making it an excellent introduction to the diversity of Chinese green tea.

Functional & Wellness Benefits

Dragon Well is one of China's ten most famous teas, produced in the Longjing area of Zhejiang Province. The pan-roasting technique used to process the leaf dates back hundreds of years and requires considerable skill to achieve the even, consistent finish that distinguishes quality Dragon Well from lesser examples. t leaf T sources this tea from trusted quality producers to ensure consistency and character.

Traditional Wellness Benefits

Green tea is traditionally associated with antioxidant properties, mental alertness, and digestive support. Lung Ching, like all quality green teas, contains catechins and other beneficial plant compounds valued in traditional Chinese wellness practice.
