Story of Dragon Well (Longjing):
Has been enjoyed by emperors and royalty for centuries, Dragon Well, also known as Longjing, is still considered one of China's finest green teas. The name of the tea comes from the Dragon Well, a natural spring in the region. According to legend, a dragon lived in the well, protecting the area and bestowing good fortune upon the villagers. Dragon Well is known for its unique flat, sword-shaped leaves and jade green colour, resulting from a special pan-firing process that preserves its freshness and flavour. Our collection of Dragon Well is hand-picked from the first flush before Qingming which is considered the best harvest time for premium teas, and processed with great care, resulting in a tea that is sweet and nutty with a mellow, buttery finish!

I bought a range of tea samples from A moment of tea online. The prompt service is exceptional. The teas are the perfect size to try before you buy. So far I have not been disappointed. I will definitely be purchasing the bigger sizes in the near future. Here's to quality tea and the joy it brings.
My first can was bought from the Hobart Tea Bar, and I loved it so much that I had to buy another one. Just received it today. Beautiful packaging and the taste is still fantastic. If you love green tea, you must try this!
Now I understand why this green tea is so famous. The taste is incredibly good and fresh. It's a must-try for everyone!
I've been drinking Jasmine Dragon Pearls for years, but after finding Dragon Well at the Hobart Tea Shop, I'm hooked. This has become my new favourite green tea!
