ABOUT THE TEAS
Long Jing, also known as Dragon Well, is the most famous green tea in China. Zhejiang Province is the birthplace of both green tea and silk, and the famous Silk Road started in this province. We would not have silk without Bombyx Mori, also known as the silkworm, which is native to this area, and we would not have loose-leaf green tea if not for the tea masters in this province 600 years ago in the Ming Dynasty.
