- The unique name of this Chinese green tea traces back to an ancient village called 'Dragon Well,' situated southwest of the 'West Lake' in Hangzhou. This picturesque lake, cherished by both Chinese and international tourists for its tranquil charm, symbolizes Hangzhou, China. Surrounded by pagoda-topped hills and stunning bridges, West Lake is often regarded as a representation of classical Chinese beauty.
- South of this iconic lake lies one of China's most renowned tea regions, named after West Lake itself. This region encompasses five famous Dragon Well villages where the original local tea is produced for over a thousand years. Our artisan Longjing tea is sourced directly from small family farms in the Mei Jia Wu village. The other 4 villages are Shifeng, Yunxi, Hupao, and Longjing.
- This particular West Lake Dragon Well has neat green and yellow flat polished leaves, which represents a classic appearance for this tea. The dry leaves have a nice green nutty and lightly creamy aroma. The liquor produced has a yellow-green colour with excellent clarity and a lightly vegetal, savoury aroma. The clean, light character of this Xi Hu Longjing has a herbaceous and vegetal profile with sweet, nutty, creamy notes. The long-lasting refreshing aftertaste is clean, and mouth-watering.
- Each bud has accumulated rich nutrients during the winter hibernation, enhancing the tea's fragrance and flavor. The finest quality Longjing teas are produced in the first two weeks. Once the fresh tea leaves are picked in the morning, they must be air dried in the shadow and hand-roasted on the same day. Roasters use their bare hands to gauge the heat and dryness of the leaves accurately. After roasting, the tea leaves are left to cool before being sealed in bags to preserve their freshness.

Glass Cup Brewing Method:
-The ratio of green tea to water is 1:30, and a glass cup of about 150ml can pour 5g of tea.
-Pour water into the cup (the water temperature is 80~85°C), pour it slowly along the wall of the cup, and let the tea leaves fully infiltrate. The speed of water injection should not be too fast.
-Wait for 3 to 5 minutes, and you can drink the delicious, green tea soup, and then when you drink 1/3 of the teacup, you can refill the water again, usually brew three times.
