Dragon Well
Taste: Chestnut, Buttery, Earthy
Serving: Each bag (3.6 oz) makes around 50 to 70 cups of tea, depending on your taste preference.
Once served as tribute during the Qing dynasty, Dragon Well was a favorite of Emperor Qianlong during his visits to Hangzhou’s West Lake. This tea comes from a core growing region near the lake and is made by a trusted partner we’ve worked with for years. Picked only in early spring, just as the bushes emerge from winter dormancy. The young leaves are especially tender and rich in amino acids. Pan-fried in small batches to lock in the fresh aroma of spring buds. It’s a tea we never get tired of.

Hangzhou's subtropical monsoon climate, characterized by distinct seasons, creates ideal growing conditions. The predominantly well-drained, slightly acidic loam soil is rich in organic matter and minerals, supporting healthy root systems and providing essential nutrients to the tea plants. This enhances our Dragon Well (Longjing) tea with its distinctive sweet, chestnut-like flavor and fresh aroma.
