About Tea
Loose Leaf Green Tea
Origin
This is one of China's most famous teas, and deservedly so. ?The tea, whose name translates as 'Dragon Well', comes from the Hangzhou in coastal Zhejiang Province. ?Grown to the west of West Lake, the ancient and renowned tea bushes thrive in the region's humid, subtropical climate.Tea Description
Long Jing has distinctive, flat, jade-coloured leaves that are highly aromatic. Once infused in hot water the leaves give a clear, pale yellow liquor with rewardingly complex character; initially sweet, followed by a slightly savoury popcorn flavour.
Green Tea
Use 1 teaspoon per person and 1 for the pot. ?Boil fresh water, leave to cool for 5 minutes then pour on. ?Allow to steep for 3 to 4 minutes. ?Best enjoyed in a porcelain cup, served without milk.More information
