Longjing Green Tea Dragon Well Tea

Longjing tea,sometimes called by its literal translated name Dragon Well Tea,is a variety of pan-fried green tea from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province,China where it is produced mostly by hand and has been renowned for its high quality, earning the China Famous Tea title.

 

Production:

Like most other Chinese green tea,Longjing tea leaves are roasted early in processing(after picking) to stop the natural  'fermentation' process,which is a part of creating black and oolong teas. In the world of tea,the term 'fermentation' refers to the actions of natrual enzymes,present in the leaves,on the juices and tissues of the leaf. The actions of these enzymes is stopped by 'firing'(heating in pans) or by steaming the leaves before they completely dry out. As is the case with other green teas (and white teas), Longjing tea leaves are therefore 'unfermented'. When steeped,the tea produces a yellow-green color. The tea contains Vitamin C,amino acids,and,like most finer Chinese green teas, has one of the highest concentration of catechins among teas.
