Tasting Notes:

Dragon Well Green Tea has narrow, flat leaves that upon close inspection are rippled and sinuous.  It generates a pale green infusion that is reminiscent of a breeze carried over a large open field after a warm rain.  The taste is rich and slightly nutty and slightly sweet with a silky finish.  

Dragon Well or "Lóngjǐng" tea has been recognized as one of the finest tea varieties since the Míng Dynasty. In the Qīng Dynasty it was made the official court tea by the Qiánlóng Emperor.  Our Dragon Well tea is grown on Fēngwù Mountain outside Hángzhōu, on a beautiful tea-farm owned and operated by a seventh-generation organic tea farming family.  The leaves are first carefully selected and picked by hand.  They are dried in bamboo baskets in the shade and then immediately sent to roasting to prevent oxidation.  The processing of Dragon Well tea is more complex than other green teas, involving a succession of roasts.  It will be repeatedly roasted, cooled and moistened, and inspected by the tea master until the desired taste, aroma, and appearance have been achieved.  When produced using traditional hand roasting techniques a series of up to a dozen specific movements and gestures are used to pan fry and shape the leaves.
