Lung Ching Superior (Long Jing) chinese green tea (Champion)

The flat green leaves of this famous green tea with the exotic name Lung Ching produce a clear yellow-green extract with a light sweet aroma and a longlasting aftertaste, which is one of the special characteristics of this tea.

Its second special feature is the alertness it brings. An ideal drink for those who do mental work. The word Lung Ching means the "spring of the dragon". The dragon is the king of the liquid element in Chinese mythology. Emperor Qian Long, of the Qing Dynasty, tasted this tea for the first time at Wugong Temple. So great was his satisfaction that he awarded the title of "Imperial Tea" to the production of the 18 tea trees growing outside the temple.
