Dragon Well (Long Jing) - Loose Tea
Traditionally grown in the West Lake region of Hangzhou, Dragon Well is one of China’s most revered green teas, admired for its rich cultural heritage and exquisite craftsmanship.
The name “Dragon Well” comes from a legendary spring near the original growing area, said to resemble the movement of a dragon when rainwater met well water — a symbol of vitality and good fortune.
This prized pan-roasted tea is known for its flat, jade-green leaves and fresh, tender taste. With light nutty and vegetal notes, it offers a clean, refreshing cup that’s both elegant and uplifting.
