Lung Ching is to Chinese green teas what Champagne is to sparkling wine: the name others measure themselves against. The original Dragon Well gardens sit on the hillsides outside Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, and this tea comes from Meijiawu, one of the four historically recognized villages in that region, on the far side of the hill from the famous well that gave the style its name.
For years, we have sourced tea from Mr. Zhao at Meijiawu. His factory sits at the top of the hill, with tea plants terraced around it on all sides. This harvest was made just before Qing Ming, the peak of the spring season and the most prized picking window in the Lung Ching calendar, when high amino acid levels give the tea its depth and natural character. When provenance matters, knowing exactly where your Lung Ching was grown and who made it is worth something.
