Artisan Pan Firing Imparts Nuances of Chestnut in Our Long Jing Cha...

One of the Ten Famous Tea of China, from Hangzhou Zhejiang Province. Wok-firing flattens and toasts these leaves, resulting in a captivating vegetal-chestnut aroma.

A local artisan tea processing technique unique to Long Jing Village flattens the leaves in a hot wok as they are gradually pressed down by hand, toasting on the wok's surface.

The leaves are skillfully stirred and tossed in the hot wok, halting oxidation and "setting" the character as the leaf surface toasts. This technique produces an enchanting, roasted chestnut nuance that blends with the delicate vegetal aroma of the leaf material.

The process begins with plucking the classic two leaves and a bud, taken in the spring when the leaves are at their most abundant ingredient content.

True artisan technique developed and refined over generations of dedicated tea growers yields a most unusual and elating green tea experience.

In Long Jing Village, it is said that the tea is best when steeped with mineral-rich water from the mountain-spring-fed well for which this region is named...Long Jing, or Dragon Well.

People in Long Jing say the water extends above the rim when you fill your teacup from the Dragon Well.

Award-winning Long Jing delights us with its distinct character, resulting from exclusively selected and skillfully processed leaves. A must-try for all those who enjoy green teas.
