About Dragon Well Tea

Dragon well tea, Chinese long jing(龙井/龍井) or lung ching, is a type of pan-fired green tea from China. It originated in Zhejiang province, near Hangzhou, where it is still produced. Teas in the style of dragon well are now also produced elsewhere in Zhejiang, and in other provinces, including Anhui and Shandong, and even in other countries, such as Taiwan. Sometimes these teas are called dragon well, whereas other times they are not.

Dragon well is characterized by its unusual shape and characteristics of the dry leaves--long, flat, and very light weight.

Lung ching is available in many different grades with widely variable prices. Some of the higher-quality dragon well teas are considered highly desirable and can be very expensive.

A Yunnan green tea which is also called Bao Hong Tea (宝洪茶), is called Yi Liang Long Jing (宜良龙井), meaning Yi Liang Dragon Well. This tea does resemble the traditinoal dragon well in processing and appearance, but less in taste.[1]
