  • Description

    A supreme, organic example of one of China’s most famous teas picked in early spring 2023. Packed with distinct chestnut aromas and a light, floral, green-fresh taste.

    Finding this tea every year is one of our favourite challenges. We’ve been working with Shentang Wen for a few years now as he’s one of the most skilled pan-firingtea masters we’ve ever met. This year, he’s perfectly captured the balance of spring green and floral freshness with warm and distinct chestnut aromas. Close to Thousand Island Lake, his beautiful garden is surrounded by lush, green forest. Here, they use a very traditional and lesser known cultivar of the tea plant called Jiukeng, one of the earliest cultivars used to create Dragon Well tea. Hand-crafted and traditionally pan-fired, the leaves impart a velvety, thick infusion with a fresh, chestnut flavour that is truly unique. This tea will appeal to many as it has a very sweet, easy drinking character. Being a supreme tea, it really does deliver on the classic Dragon Well flavours of intense green freshness, some umami, and the sweetness of something similar to hazel or roasted chestnuts. If you want something that has the refreshment and coolness of spring, but with a slight warming, nutty edge, you’ll love Dragon Well.
