Lung Ching translated means Dragon’s Well. The legend of its name comes from a story around 250 AD when the farmers of the Hangzhou region had been praying for rain and discovered a dragon lurking near a spring in the hills. They implored the dragon to come to their rescue. Instantly, clouds came rushing in from all sides and poured forth timely rain. On this account, the temple adjoining the spring is known as Dragon’s Well Monastery, and the tea derives its name from the same legend. The finest Lung Ching is produced only near the beautiful West Lake of Hangzhou. The leaf is remarkably flat and smooth and is slick to the touch. Standard 5120 is our top pick from the earliest production season. We work closely with our trusted supplier to find a unique production lot which best balances s the classic character of dragonwell tea, with new and unique flavors from the particular season.
