Blenders Notes Dragon Well ~ Prized Hangzhou – Zhejiang Province:
Dragon Well Green Tea, or Longjing tea, originates from Longjing Village in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Renowned for its distinctive flat leaves and rich flavor, it’s one of China’s most celebrated teas. The tea is hand-harvested and pan-fried to lock in its flavor and nutrients. It has many great characteristics including: polyphenols, especially catechins, which help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress ~ enhances metabolic rate and aid in weight loss by increasing fat oxidation ~ helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and improve overall heart function, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases ~ contains L-theanine and caffeine, which may enhance cognitive function, improve mood, and increase alertness ~ promotes a healthy digestive system and can help relieve bloating and indigestion ~ rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, which can boost immunity and help fight infections ~ L-theanine may help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
What makes Dragon Well so Prized? Grown in the luxurious environment of Longjing Village, Hangzhou, the unique climate, and soil conditions enhance the tea’s quality. The tea leaves are meticulously hand-harvested, usually in early spring, ensuring only the youngest and most tender leaves are selected. The leaves are pan-fried, a traditional technique that preserves the tea’s aromatic properties and distinguishes it from other green teas. Dragon Well tea is known for its fresh, nutty flavor with a slight sweetness, making it pleasant and refreshing. The distinctive flat leaves are a result of the traditional pan-frying process, providing a unique visual appeal. Historically, Dragon Well tea has been favored by Chinese emperors and remains a symbol of excellence in Chinese tea culture and its use in traditional Chinese tea ceremonies adds to its cultural richness and significance.

When talking about the many types of tea, Green tea is the most common and the most recognized tea beverage and it is the easiest to find. Â The primary countries that export Green Tea are Japan – lighter green teas and China – darker more robust green teas where for both countries Green Tea is a celebrated beverage! Â We carry a full line of teas from both countries. We have lots of selection and the customer can choose the strength level they prefer in their tea. Much of the differences in the strength of Green Tea does come from processing of the lea leaves. Â
The teas from Japan are usually milder in flavor and produce a faint tan cup of tea and are machine processed.  If you are new to the tea world – Japanese green teas are lighter on the palate and are a great place to start. The teas from China tend to be stronger and more astringent that those from Japan and are hand processed.  We pair many of our stronger flavors with the Chinese green teas. The Peach and Mint combos we have are done with a strong Gunpowder Green tea allowing the flavors to balance when making a cup of tea. We don’t want the flavor of the tea to supersede the wonderful taste of the high quality green tea it is paired with. Â
Many of the tea leaves will go through a steaming or pan firing process. Â Â This process will stop oxidation and keep them in the Green Tea Family. Then the leaves are dried in large rollers or fan belts bringing you the final distinctive product depending the tea you choose. Â The tea leaves will have a beautiful green color and will have some texture and suppleness to the leaves. We carry Sencha, Dragonwell, Gunpowder and Kukicha as a few options.
