Dragon Well "Jiukeng" (Lung Ching)

This is a special and comparatively rare, elegant and noticeably smaller-leaf Dragon Well varietal from Zhejiang Province. This Lung Ching varietal is not typically commonly exported and found in our market. The varietal's leaf is definitive - very fresh green appearance and distinctly shorter and more uniform in length than the better known Dragon Wells. The result is an even tasting cup that is delicious and lightly sweet. The leaves are low fire and will cup to a light-yellow and clean liquor, just hints of nuttiness, with lingering aftertaste.
