Tian Hu Shan Dragon Well Green Tea – First Grade Longjing Loose Leaf 8oz

Discover Tian Hu Shan Dragon Well Green Tea

One of China's most famous green teas, Dragon Well is celebrated for its spring-picked buds and the careful pan-fired method that unlocks a sweet, roasted chestnut aroma with a velvety mouthfeel. Tian Hu Shan's First Grade Dragon Well is sourced from a garden ringed by lush forest, where each harvest aims to preserve the signature chestnut notes and a refined, smooth finish in every cup.

Harvesting occurs each spring, when tea plants are at their fullest and most vibrant. The change from winter rest to spring growth brings a bright fragrance and a well-balanced flavor profile that many tea lovers seek for daily rituals. This seasonal cadence helps capture a lively aroma and a crisp, refreshing taste that stands up to simple pairing or quiet moments alone.

Flavor & Aroma Highlights

• Pan-fired processing yields chestnut notes and a silky, velvety texture.
• Fresh spring buds from a forest-adjacent garden deliver a clean, refreshing profile.
• The cup presents a layered, nuanced flavor with a gentle sweetness that lingers after each sip.

Brewing, Freshness & Giftability

• Loose leaf form lets whole leaves unfurl in hot water, unlocking a richer, more complex brew.
• Packaging includes cartons with inner aluminum foil bags and a sealing clip to preserve freshness—an elegant option for gifting.
• Smart storage helps maintain aroma and flavor across multiple infusions, making it suitable for everyday tea rituals and special occasions.

The tea is rich in catechins, a well-studied class of compounds often discussed in green tea contexts. This description emphasizes sensory experience, brewing versatility, and practical details, inviting you to explore the tea’s profile at a pace that suits your taste rather than making health claims.

Brewing tips for the best flavor

Use water just below boiling (about 80-85 C / 176-185 F). Start with 2-3 teaspoons per 8 oz, steep 2-3 minutes, then adjust for strength. You can re-steep for evolving notes in subsequent infusions. Pair with light snacks to accentuate the tea’s clean finish and enjoy it during a calm break or social moment.

Pairing ideas: citrusy fruits, almonds, or delicate pastries can complement the chestnut notes, while the tea’s modest intensity makes it versatile for both early mornings and relaxed afternoons.
