Long Jing (Lung Ching) is the most famous Chinese tea and usually ranks #1 on the 10 Famous Chinese tea lists. This tea originates in the Xihu lakeside, outside the city of Hangzhou in the West Lake District. Elmwood owner Bruce Richardson spent a week in those gardens in 2018.
The processing of top grade Long Jing tea is almost all done in a thick iron pan and fried by hand. The seemingly simple processing is a very intricate and difficult work of art. The result is an excellent world-famous tea that has a lingering orchid bean-like flavor with a brisk mellow taste.
