Lung Ching is to Chinese green teas what French Champagne is to sparkling wines: the standard against which all others are measured. With almost no tips, it has the classic Chinese green tea qualities of steamed bok choy and roasted nuts. This is from one of the four original locations outside of Hangzhou. We have bought from Mr. Zhao for years, so you can count on this being the real tea.
