|
Longjing Tea is most famous for its unique fragrance and flavor;
flat, slender strips of tea leaves in bright green liquid. Furthermore,
Longjing tea is considered extremely healthy and helps refresh the
body, stop cavities, control high blood pressure and prevent cancer.
Hence, it is regarded as the elixir for health and is enjoyed all
over the world.
Longjing tea is grown in Longjing village in Hangzhou, home of
one of China's most famous bodies of water, West Lake. The fertile
land is both rich in phosphorus and sub-acidic sand. This region
prevents cold currents from the north and holds back warm currents
from the south, thus the tea's growing area can be covered by
cloud and mist for long periods of time. With such favourable
growing conditions, Longjing tea is considered one of the best
in China. |
