Dragon Well (Long Jing)
Discover the legendary Dragon Well, a tea that has captivated Chinese emperors for centuries. Hand-picked from the misty hills surrounding West Lake, Hangzhou, in early spring, our Dragon Well tea offers an exquisite combination of subtle sweetness and rich, chestnut-like warmth that defines this prestigious green tea. Each flat, jade-green leaf is skillfully pan-fired by tea masters using traditional techniques passed down through generations. When brewed, it yields a clear, yellow-green liquor that delivers a smooth, mellow flavor with delicate floral notes and no bitterness. The distinctive sword-shaped leaves can be steeped multiple times, revealing new layers of complexity with each infusion.
