  • Description

    China's most famous green tea paired with the osmanthus flowers that bloom alongside the tea bushes in late spring. This pairing balances the distinct chestnut notes and grassy freshness from the tea with stone fruit and floral high notes from the flowers.

    Our Dragon Well perfectly captures the balance of spring green and floral freshness with warm and distinct chestnut aromas. Grown close to Thousand Island Lake, this beautiful garden is surrounded by lush, green forest. Hand-crafted and traditionally pan-fired, the leaves impart a velvety, thick infusion with a fresh, hazlenut flavour that pairs beautifully with osmanthus. Osmanthus is found across China and Asia and flowers in late spring giving small yellow flowers of abundant fragrance. When mixed with green tea the peachy notes are a profusion of complentary flavours well-loved in Zhejiang and across China.

Dragon Well Osmanthus

Dragon Well Osmanthus

£19.60

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.

Where does this cup come from?

Hangzhou, China

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-firing tea 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.
