To craft this artisan tea, tea leaves are flattened by hand in a hot pan. This pan-firing technique creates the legendary flattened shape of the tea leaf, and gives the tea it's toasty aroma with a buttery taste and nutty roasted notes. 

A truly exceptional tea that has been perfected by China tea masters over many centuries. This heritage tea is crafted in Hangzhou in Zhejiang province China.

Ingredients: organic green tea from Zhejiang province China

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz below boiling water, 175°F, for 2-3 minutes

Harper B. ★★★★★

The dry leaves have that classic toasted chestnut aroma, and the first steep opens up into a savory, almost broth-like sip with a nutty finish that lingers nicely. I’ve been brewing it at a lower temperature and it stays sweet for three infusions without turning bitter.

Elizabeth U. ★★★★★

The dry leaves smell just like fresh spring vegetables, and the liquor stays sweet and savory even after three infusions. That nutty, buttery body is exactly what I look for in a Dragonwell, and it holds up perfectly in a gaiwan.

Lucy ★★★★★

The first steep is so buttery and nutty it almost drinks like a broth, and the savory finish lingers nicely. I’ve been brewing it a bit cooler and it stays sweet without any harsh bite.
