Lung Ching or also Long Jing 龙井 is a world-famous & very well known tea, typical for its unmistakable appearance. During processing in one of the first steps of production (Sha Qing), the tea leaves are flattened / shaped by hand on wok pans heated from below by wood. Thanks to this specific procedure, tea with typically flat leaves is created. The Dragon Well comes from the village of Long Jing (hence the name) in Zhejiang Province of the West Lake (Xi Hu).

The upper class of the well-known & popular “Dragon Wells of the West Lake” (which has a total of 13 different quality classes). Authentic Lung Ching is supposed to be processed only by hand, which requires a lot of skill and time, and thus increases the price of tea.
However, the quality of such tea corresponds to the price. Dragon wells of higher varieties give a crystal clear drink of a tender emerald color with an aroma as dense as orchids and a fresh saturated taste with fruit tones.

In this way, the tea acquires the aroma of jasmine, but still retains its original taste. Jasmine tea is light and pleasant. "White King" itself is a relatively high-quality green tea with rich fluff, but the addition of jasmine further improves its quality.
