Dragon Well Green Tea, also known as Longjing, is among the most esteemed green teas in China, boasting a rich history that spans over a millennium. Originating from the picturesque West Lake region in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, this tea has earned a reputation for its exceptional flavor and superior quality. Historically, Longjing was a tribute tea highly favored by Chinese emperors. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, during his southern excursions, was so impressed by the tea’s remarkable qualities that he personally bestowed upon it the name “Longjing,” solidifying its status as a tea of imperial distinction.
