Longjing Tea, also known as Dragon Well Tea, is a famous variety of green tea from China. The name "Longjing" translates to "Dragon Well" in English. This tea is named after the Dragon Well located in the West Lake area of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, where it is traditionally grown.
Longjing Tea is renowned for its flat, smooth leaves and delicate flavor profile. It is often described as having a sweet, mellow taste with a hint of chestnut-like aroma. The tea is pan-fired to stop the oxidation process, giving it a distinctive appearance and taste.
When brewing Longjing Tea, it is recommended to use water that is around 80°C to 85°C and steep the leaves for about 2-3 minutes to fully extract the flavors. The tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on personal preference.
Longjing Tea is not only a popular beverage in China but also well-loved by tea enthusiasts around the world for its unique taste and cultural significance.
