Dragon Well

Dragon Well is one of the most revered green teas in the world. Its signature refined nutty character has drawn the attention of notable figures throughout history, from emperors to presidents, poets to statesmen.

Grown in the rolling hills surrounding West Lake in Hangzhou, its character is shaped by misty mornings and gentle sunlight. Each leaf is pan-fired by hand in a hot wok until it takes on its iconic flat, jade-green shape. The process gives the tea a smooth roasted character — nutty and warm rather than grassy and bright.

In the cup, the leaves settle calmly as the liquor turns a soft, pale gold. The aroma is understated yet inviting, with notes of roasted chestnut, pistachio, and tender spring greens. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, finishing clean with subtle lingering sweetness. This is the tea that starts your day with intention, steadiness and confidence.
