Counted among the ten famous teas of China, Long Jing — "Dragon Well" — is often called the most beautiful of them all. Its flat, sword-shaped leaves are pressed by hand against the side of a hot wok, a pan-firing technique perfected over centuries in Zhejiang Province. That firing is where Dragonwell gets its signature: a warm, toasted chestnut note layered over the fresh green leaf. The cup pours pale gold. The first impression is fresh and gently vegetal, opening into a soft natural sweetness with no trace of bitterness. The body is where this tea earns its reputation — silky, almost buttery — and the chestnut aroma lingers long after the sip. It's a tea that rewards slowing down. Like most fine green teas, Dragonwell prefers gentle treatment: steep at 78°C for about 2 minutes. Cooler water and a shorter steep keep the sweetness forward; the same leaves will happily give a second infusion.
