Longjing or Dragonwell tea is the most revered green tea in China. With a delicious toasty flavour the manufacturing process of this tea is extremely labour intensive. Its production is reserved for the most skilled tea masters as it employs dozens of ancient techniques to shape and bake the tea. Strictly toasted on iron pans, the premium grade is in desperately short supply. There are many styles of longjing tea but the true crops (like this one) originate from a town called West Lake outside Hangzhou, China.
