Long Jing type teas from the Xin Chang region with the nickname Da Fo 大佛, literally “Great Buddha” after the local Great Buddha temple. The Xin Chang area is located in Zhejiang province, and although Dragon Well teas have been produced here for quite some time, the area has only recently been recognized as an official producer of the famous tea. In addition, local teas are becoming more popular year by year and rising in price and quality. There are even opinions that teas from Xin Chang are better than today’s teas from the place of origin of the Dragon Well, but that is up to individual assessment.
