Our delicious Long Jing green tea has a bright silky texture and a long-lasting fragrance. It covers the steep terraces of the hills near Long Jing village in Zhejiang Province, where its long history originates from.

Praised for its beautiful appearance, Long Jing is China’s best known green tea. In the course of its long history Long Jing gained more and more popularity, both in China and abroad, and was finally ranked among China's top 10 teas.
