Longjing Chinese Tea: The Best The West Lake Has To Offer!
Long admired as a source of health, Longjing Chinese tea protects your heart, helps you lose weight, and promotes relaxation.
For centuries, Longjing green tea has been the favorite tea used to welcome guests in China. It offers a refreshing, slightly sweet taste with a lasting, nutty aftertaste. A “super guest tea,” as the Chinese say.
Just taking a glance at this tea cheers you up. When brewed, your tea turns a natural green color and the tea leaves stand up straight like needles; truly a pleasant sight.
It was no surprise, then, that even Emperor Qianlong was a big fan of Longjing and demanded a batch of the tea every year. In one of his famous Longjing Chinese tea poems he wrote: “Sparrow-shaped leaves and subtle aromas, trickling down my throat like a pleasant breeze.”
Grown in the hills of southern China, your Longjing tea was nurtured in a warm climate and an almost year-round fog. This is the perfect area for Chinese green tea. Not far from the pure tea plantations sits the famous West Lake, known in China as “Paradise on Earth.”
Locals say that Longjing, or “Dragon Well” Chinese tea, is named after a life-saving well in the area. In ancient times, the well provided the only source of water during droughts, so the people thought there was a dragon inside.
