LongJing Tea, Hangzhou, China


I had often heard of Long Jing Tea.  It's one of the choices of tea usually offered at the restaurants in China.  But I didn't know that Long Jing Tea actually had its origins in this little area in Hangzhou ... owing to the fact that an ancient chinese emperor had drunk some tea made with the water from this well, then pronounced it the finest tea in China ...


The well is still in use today ...
