New! Green Tea: Dragonwell (Fresh Harvest!)

Production & Flavor Profile: While Dragonwell is a relatively popular type of green tea, this one is particularly special. It is a Jiu Keng Qun Ti Zhong varietal, seed-grown in a high altitude garden, which has been certified organic since 2005 and boasts a crystal clear well fed by a natural spring on the land. (See well in the photos.) It yields endless sweet water from deep in the fertile earth from which these plants have grown. Processed in the classic Long Jing frying method, this exquisite tea yields a sweet, mellow liquor with notes of roasted bean and orchid. Like having the Spring garden in your cup! Certified organic and cultivated according to age-old organic farming practices, which never needed any chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers - just the natural habitat and many generations of practice, perfecting the process.
