One of China’s most revered green teas, Longjing is grown only in the hills around Hangzhou. At the Yunding Dragon Well Estates, seasoned tea-crafters hand-press tea leaves against hot woks into their signature spear-like form - a tradition that has been handed down from generations. This produces a deliciously fragrant tea that is fresh with the aroma of chestnuts, green leaves and honey.
