Grown around the West Lake Scenic Area this tea utilises the traditional Long Jing Chang Ye (\u9f8d\u4e95\u9577\u8449) Long Leaf cultivar. The resulting tea has a bright herbaceous character with characteristic nutty and creamy notes. This lot is a Ming Qian harvest, picked 30 March 2023, before the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Qingming_Festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Qing Ming Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Long Jing is perhaps the most famous and popular teas in China and this West Lake Dragon Well is one of the most sought after types. Authentic Dragon Well (Long Jing, \u9f8d\u4e95) originates from West Lake (Xihu, \u897f\u6e56), near Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. It is said by purists that only tea from the core Long Jing growing area of West Lake can be called an authentic Long Jing. The main production areas around West Lake are: <em>Shifeng<\/em> (Lion\u2019s Peak), <em>Wengjiashan<\/em> (Weng Family Mountain), <em>Yunqi<\/em> (Cloud Dwell), <em>Hupao<\/em> (Tiger Run) and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.curioustea.com\/tea\/green-tea\/long-jing-mei-jia-wu-west-lake-dragon-well\/\">Meijiawu<\/a><\/em> (Mei Family Dock). Dragon Well teas from Shifeng and Meijiawu are particularly sought after and attract very high prices. While Wengjiashan still lies within the core production area, as teas produced here are not the most famous ones, it is possible for us to source this authentic Dragon Well with an attractive price vs quality ratio.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m17!1m11!1m3!1d51284.78335928297!2d120.1019884792366!3d30.247135609118992!2m2!1f0!2f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x83610a55bca05971!2sWengjiashan!5e1!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1550592545144\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This particular Long Jing West Lake Dragon Well has neat green and yellow flat polished leaves, which represents a classic appearance for this tea.
