A. Supreme Organic Dragon Well
Dragonwell (Long-jing) Green Tea #55001 Authentic Dragonwell is the world’s finest green tea. Picked in early spring, its hand processing requires great care. The leaves are thin and delicate; the pale green infusion possesses a wonder lingering sweetness.This lightly fired green tea’s leaves are thin and blade-like, and covered with a golden sheen. Tea has been grown in the west Lake region since the Tang Dynasty (8th century A.D.) and the region is praised in Lu Yu's Classic of Tea. It is here where the modern method of making green tea was first developed during the Song Dynasty. (Until this time all tea was in brick or cake form.) Dragon well quickly became a favorite, and attained the status of an Imperial Tribute Tea. “Dragon Well” is both a place name and the name of a spring. The region is known for its mild weather, low rolling mountains shrouded in mist, and pure water. The soil is particularly rich in the organic nutrients that are most suitable for green tea cultivation. At the birthplace of the modern green tea maker’s art, the 800 year old tradition of the world’s finest green tea continues.
