Description

Dragon Well / Long JingDragon Well, known as Long Jing () in Chinese, is a pan fired green tea from Qiantang in Zhejiang Province, China. It's one of China's most well known green teas, recognised by its flat, sword shaped leaves and jade green colour. How is it taste? Our Dragon Well has a mellow, nutty taste with a buttery finish. The chestnut like sweetness comes from the hand pan firing process, which stops oxidation and gives the leaves their distinctive flat shape.

Dragon Well, known as Long Jing (龙井) in Chinese, is a pan-fired green tea from Qiantang in Zhejiang Province, China. It's one of China's most well-known green teas, recognised by its flat, sword-shaped leaves and jade green colour.

How is it taste?

Our Dragon Well has a mellow, nutty taste with a buttery finish. The chestnut-like sweetness comes from the hand pan-firing process, which stops oxidation and gives the leaves their distinctive flat shape. It's a good morning or early afternoon tea — the caffeine gives you a clean, focused energy without the jittery feeling of coffee.

Brewing instructions

Western brewing:
Use 1.5g of tea per 250ml teapot. Water at 85°C. Steep for 3 minutes. When about a third of the tea remains, refill with hot water for a second infusion. Good for up to 2 infusions.

Gongfu brewing:
Use 4g per 150ml gaiwan or teapot. Pour 85°C water to one-third full, add tea to release the aroma, then fill completely. Steep 20 seconds for the first brew, adding 10 seconds each time. Good for up to 5 infusions.

You can also cold brew Dragon Well — it brings out the sweetness and reduces bitterness. See our cold brew guide.

Joanne's notes

Dragon Well is one of the teas I like introducing to people who are new to Chinese green tea. It's gentler than Japanese greens — less grassy, more sweet and rounded.

Pairs well with a glazed gaiwan for gongfu brewing, or use any glass teapot to watch the leaves dancing in the water.

Storage

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Green tea is best enjoyed within 12 months of harvest for the freshest flavour.


About Chinese green tea

Chinese green teas are typically pan-fired (heated in a wok) to stop oxidation in most area, which gives them a mellower, nuttier character compared to Japanese green teas that are steamed. Browse our full green tea collection to compare different styles.
