“Green tea is higher in health-giving antioxidants than the black variety, but can taste bitter. Not delicious JING Organic Dragon Well Green Tea. . which a colleague loves for its ‘soft spring-fresh flavour.” Sarah Stacey, You Magazine, Mail On Sunday (21 March 2010)

Dragon Well is one of the most famous green teas in China. Complex and multi-layered with the irresistible combination of warm and creamy mouthfeel, hazel nut notes and searingly spring-freshness.

The traditional method of making Dragon Well is what really sets it apart. Each individual tea bud is hand-pressed and shaped in a wok to achieve the perfect level of roasting.

I tried this tea as part of the Green Tea Explorer and found it to be an instant favourite. I drink it every morning before breakfast to help clear my mind and help me feel fresh and lively. I particularly enjoy its light, subtle flavour that has hints of real character, it’s slight sweetness and the enjoyable after taste. I brew it for four minutes at just about 70 C in my small glass teapot and drink it out of little Yi Xing clay tea cups. All in all an excellent tea that out of all the teas in the Green Tea Explorer I shall definitely be ordering again.
Very delicate and sensitive but worth the effort

Recommended by a friend and to start with I couldn't get on with it; we tried it as a family and it was variously described as "fishy" or "meaty" by the boys! However, having received further advice about its sensitivity to temperature (70C) and brewing time (3 mins max for first infusion) I persevered and discovered its immense variation of notes and outright deliciousness. It will go for many infusions offering up something different every time. I alternate between this and Yellow Gold as my morning and afternoon tea but if I had to live with just one tea (heaven forfend!) this would probably be it.

Brew correctly this is a sublime tea. Among one of the best chest nutty bad boys. As others have said brew at 70c. I actually just do my first brew at around 1 to 1 and half mins. Keeps the first brew really fragrant and fresh then I go in for the chest nut brew and leave it in for 3-5 mins.
