dragonwell (singles)

Green tea from the Chinese village of Dragon Well (Lung Ching in local parlance). Dragon Well tea has a distinguished shape. Its leaves are broad and flat, a result of laborious drying. There is something to show for this hard work: Dragon Well tea is refreshingly smooth, sweet and delicate, among the very best of Chinese greens. Our 'Dragon Well Requiem' is a First Grade version of this truly sublime tea. Full-leaf tea in portable, individually wrapped bags - superior taste and maximum convenience.
