SUPREME DRAGON WELL, Long Jing
China - Hangzhou, Zhejiang province
Our supreme high mountain Dragon Well Tea is handpicked in a mountainous tea farm, free from fertilizers and pesticides at an altitude of 1300m. This is a rare Dragon Well Tea, from an ancient tea farm of over 30 years in age.
During the tea picking, the pickers get up at 3am and walk along a mountainous path for 2.5 hours until they reach the once abandoned tea farm. The wild tea bushes average 1.5m in height, meaning the pickers have difficulty in picking the tea buds. Picked only once a year, in a naturally good tea growing environment, these wild growing Dragon Well tea bushes produce some of the very best tea buds of any Dragon Well Tea.
The tea leaves are pan fried to give the tea a deep chestnut aroma and light orchid fragrance.
When brewed the tea has a floral, delicate, sweet taste, making it a good choice of relaxing beverage in the workplace.
Our tea is sold in multiple packs of 50g.
