West Lake Dragon Well
This is China's most famous green tea and
rightly prized since the Tang dynasty.
The well in the name is near Hangzhou and is named after a
benevolent dragon in Chinese mythology. Unique in
appearance with its flat pressed leaf sets, this attractive
pan-fired tea presents a rich aroma and smooth, full-bodied flavour.
Its distinctly fresh, sweet taste places it among the most
delightful of all green teas. We recommend this
as a revitalizing all-day tea or as a digestive after a heavy meal.
An excellent introduction to the joys of green tea. We offer
three grades at present, from the excellent Special Second to our
affordable everyday Third grade.

Plum Castle Dragon Well
As Chateau Lafite is to claret, so Plum Castle
is to Dragon Well. This tea's beautiful bright green colour and
extraordinary evenness of leaf size and shape make it a tribute to
the artistry of its creators. From the quality of the leaf to the
skill of the firers, all aspects of green tea craftsmanship
come together in this superb Plum Castle Dragon Well.
In the cup it produces a beautiful champagne-coloured golden liquor
with a complex flavour rich with sweet, savoury and floral notes and
a lingering mellow finish. An extremely refined and elegant tea to
savour and contemplate.

Shaoxing Dragon Well
True Dragon Well tea comes from Hangzhou, but in
nearby Shaoxing we have tracked down a family growing, picking and
firing tea from their own Dragon Well bushes. Nestled in a sacred
mountain valley this small farm produces a clear yellow-green
coloured tea with a sweet, fresh flavour and delicious aroma.
Never exported from China before and only available from us, this is
an economical alternative to high grade West Lake teas.

West Lake Osmanthus Dragon Well
Our osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans)
from Guilin is highly prized for its uniquely fragrant blossoms and
is often used in the production of costly perfumes.
In our West Lake Osmanthus Dragon Well the fusion of floral
osmanthus and rich, smooth Dragon Well results in a delicious full-bodied
tea that is memorably
sweet and floral.
