A mellow vegetal aroma with a smooth, lingering sweet finish. Considered the most prestigious tea in China, Dragonwell is cultivated near Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province renowned for its magnificent Lake of the West. Dragonwell is distinguished by its beautiful shape, emerald colour, scented smell and tending sweet floral character. Long Ching teas are processed entirely by hand, from picking to final sifting through a 10 part process. It exhibits a unique flat shape because it is literally ironed during wok-firing.
