Dragonwell is considered to be the most favourite and expensive green tea in China due to its legendary history and background. Produced in West Lake, Hangzhou, Dragonwell came to the throne of green tea because of the Qing Dynasty Emperor Qian-lung. During his southern visit to Hangzhou from the Peking palace, he was astounded by the unique chestnut and mung bean flavour of the tea as well as its awakening and energizing effect. He even appointed the spring that was used to brew the tea The Royal Spring, and hence the name Dragonwell was born. 
 
Every spring, Chinese tea lovers are longing for the Pre-Qing Ming (harvested before 5th April) dragonwell as after the long winter, the delicate spring buds have absorded a lot of nutrients and so the best flavour.
 
The color of the tea is pale yellow. It has obvious roast, chestnut and bean fragrance. Perfect for morning drinking.
 
Origin: Hangzhou, China
 
 
龍井被譽為中國最受歡迎及最昂貴的綠茶。擁有傳奇歷史的龍井茶得到清朝乾隆皇帝的加持，得以躍失至綠茶王者的地位。有一次乾隆南巡至杭州時，喝上一口龍井茶，被龍井獨特的甘栗、豆香和提神醒腦的功效深深吸引，甚至賜名泡茶的泉為龍井。自始龍井便登上龍門，升價十倍。
