LUNG CHING GRADE 3 (DRAGONWELL / LONGJING) — FAMOUS CHINESE GREEN TEA
Unlike our premium Lung Ching Grade 1, Lung Ching Grade 3 is a stronger variant of the famous Chinese green tea from Zhejiang province. The flatter quality of the pan-roasted green tea leaves generates third-grade Dragonwell tea’s richer taste and full-bodied character. Ideal on its own and enjoyable throughout the day.
Dragonwell light teas (also known as Longjing light teas) have a long and fantastic history. This high-quality green tea grows on the hills around the old city of Hangzhou, which lies on the Yangzi River delta.
