This green tea acquired the name "Longjing or Lung Ching" because its origin is from the village of Longjing belonging to the city of Hangzhou in China. However, the most common name is "Dragon Well Tea" which corresponds to the Mandarin translation of the original name "Longjing". Due to the rich properties of the soil, "Longjing" green tea contains a great nutritional capacity for our physical and mental well-being. Hence, it is considered one of the teas with the highest quality index in China. Another factor that contributes to its success is the process of harvesting the young leaves, which is done in a meticulous and completely manual way.
The legendary origin of "Longjing" tea dates back to the dawn of civilization in the Zhejiang province of the People's Republic of China. It all started when a massive drought broke out that threatened the survival of the crop fields.

And so, sustain their needs, as well as those of the next generations. After the prayer, the rain returned with force, reviving the fields. It was through this miraculous phenomenon that the people decided to give the name "Longjing" to the tea they cultivated as a tribute to their savior, associated with the movement of water in the well.
However, there are other legends surrounding the origin of this green tea.
