Dragon Well is the most famous
Chinese green tea in China and
overseas. It is a slap-up flat-shaped
stir-fried green tea look like the
sparrow’s tongue.
The production of the Dragon Well
began since 1,200 years ago. The
earliest dragon well is produced in
the tea producing areas surrounding
ancient “Dragon Well” below the Lion
Mountain of Zhejiang province. As the
expanding of producing areas,
dragon well generally referred to the
teas produced in Xi Hu, West Lake,
area. In “Classics on Tea’ written by

treatise about tea leave’s production, the West Lake area was recorded as tea producing area. In the Song
Dynasty, West Lake Dragon Well was presented to the emperor as tribute.
West Lake Dragon Well’s tea leaves are just like a bowl of pins, flat and graceful, smooth and even, fresh
yellowish green. When soaked in the teacup, it stands straight high looking like a flower. The tea is renowned
as “green in hue, strong fragrance, mellow taste and pretty appearance”. It is soft but far, fragrant but fresh,
having a distinctive style.

Poets always express their ardent
love for West Lake Dragon Well
using the beautiful words “golden
sprout” and “uniqueness”. So it is
not surprising that a poet written
the feeling after tasting West Lake
Dragon Well as “such scenery is
so wonderful that I’d rather be a
tea grower than a poet.”

The "well" is an actual spring-fed well (a circular stone enclosure where the water is gathered) with a temple
and a teahouse nearby-not far from Hangzhou. Legend has it that during a severe drought a resident monk
summoned up a lucky dragon he'd heard was in the neighborhood. He prayed, and lo, the rains came, the
crops were saved, and the peasants rejoiced.

Drinking Dragon Well made from the first flush (the first spring picking),
with water from the well, is said to be the ultimate tea drinker's
experience. When Chairman Mao Tse-Tung met with President Nixon
for the first time, the tea they drank was West Lake Dragon Well, and it
was in springtime, in the teahouse, near the temple. No matter what if
Nixon grasps the honor or not, this tea demands to be drunk rather
than talked about.
To prepare West Lake Dragon Well, take 3-5g, brew with 85º water for
1-2 minutes. Re-steep as desired.
