Dragonwell (Lung Ching) Green Tea: The Imperial Standard

Experience the legendary taste of Dragonwell—frequently cited as China’s most famous green tea. Its storied history dates back centuries, once served as a prestigious tribute to Chinese emperors. Perhaps most famously, this "Jade of Teas" was the chosen beverage during the historic 1972 meeting between Mao Tse-Tung and Richard Nixon, cementing its status as a cornerstone of tea diplomacy.

Our First Grade Dragonwell is defined by its iconic "four uniquenesses": a brilliant jade hue, a fresh vegetative aroma, a mellow chestnut sweetness, and its distinctive, hand-pressed flat leaf shape. Refreshingly smooth and delicate, this is not just a tea—it is a cup of living history.

Features

• Grade: Premium First Grade loose leaf.
• Appearance: Beautifully flat, jade-colored leaves shaped by skilled hands.

Why We Love It

It is the perfect balance of sophistication and approachability. The infusion is incredibly smooth, lacking the bitterness found in lesser greens, making it the ideal choice for those looking to explore the nuance of authentic Chinese green tea.

Flavor Profile
