Dragonwell

A classic Chinese green tea with a toasty chestnut aroma.

Dragonwell leaves are pan-fired, which gives them their flat shape and a roasted chestnut aroma. The cup is tender, smooth and a little sweet. Brew it hot, or chill it for a summer iced tea.

Ours is grown on Da Fo Mountain in Xinchang County, Zhejiang, at about 400 meters. We don't sell it wholesale, so you'll only find it here.
