Chinese groene thee – Dragon Well (Longjing)

With high catechins, vitamin C and amino acids, the dragon well green tea can help boost mental alertness and provide beneficial effects on blood pressure and cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.

Mr. Hung’s family is one of the lucky families at the famous Lion Peak Mountain, who make only 300 kilograms of this goodness per year, and they are all processed by hand. Together with his family and workers, they take good care of their trees to make sure the tea plants are always fresh and healthy.

“We understand how lucky we are to be farming in this part of the Zhejiang. At the same time, we know that we have a responsibility to preserve the quality of Dragon Well tea that we produce. It’s a historically important imperial tea, so we must always make sure that Longjing stays that way.”

Longjing Imperial Tea Garden in Longjing Village boasts of the perfect topography to grow high quality tea leaves. The rich soil of the Lion Peak Mountain has a combination of white sand and quartz which helps give the Dragon Well green tea its rich minerality.

The Garden finds the perfect help from the well by the Lion Peak Mountain, which not only offers the ideal spring water to make the tea but also the sweet and clean water that flows and feeds the tea. It’s also said that the incredible shape of the mountain makes it ideal to harbor safe air currents, providing cleaner and safer air to the farm.
