One great type of green tea to try is Dragon Well Green Tea. This tea originates from the Chinese village of Dragon Well (Lung Ching in local parlance). In fact, production of Dragon Well tea began some 1200 years ago. Dragon Well tea has a distinguished shape with its broad, flat leaves which are the result of laborious drying. However, the hard work and preparation is all worth the effort since Dragon Well tea is refreshingly smooth, sweet and delicate, among the very best of the Chinese green teas.
