Organic Longjing tea, also known as Dragonwell tea, is a type of green tea that is produced in the Longjing village of Hangzhou, China. It is considered one of the most famous and prized green teas in China, and is often referred to as the “national drink” of the country. Longjing tea is known for its delicate flavor and aroma, as well as its distinctive flat, emerald-green leaves.

To be considered organic, Longjing tea must be grown and processed according to strict guidelines that prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods of pest control and use organic fertilizers to nourish the tea plants. This results in a tea that is free of chemical residues and is considered healthier and more environmentally friendly than conventionally grown tea.
