"Premium Dragon Well Tea" is how you would say "极品龙井茶" in English.
Dragon Well Tea, also known as Longjing tea, is one of the most famous Chinese green teas, loved for its distinct flavor and aroma. The tea gets its name from the village of Longjing in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, where it is primarily produced.
Premium Dragon Well Tea is considered the highest quality of Longjing tea, meticulously hand-picked and processed to ensure only the best leaves are used. The leaves are harvested in early spring before Qingming, ensuring they are tender and full of flavor. The tea is then pan-fired to stop the oxidation process and preserve its fresh, delicate taste.
The appearance of Premium Dragon Well Tea is characterized by its flat, yellow-green leaves that unfurl when brewed. The liquor is a pale yellow color with a delicate, nutty aroma. The flavor is mellow and sweet, with notes of chestnut and a lingering crisp finish.
To fully appreciate the taste of Premium Dragon Well Tea, it is recommended to brew the leaves in a glass teapot or gaiwan to watch the leaves dance as they unfurl. Use water that is around 80°C and steep the leaves for no more than two minutes to avoid bitterness.
In Chinese culture, Dragon Well Tea is highly valued for its health benefits and is often given as a gift to show respect and appreciation. It is believed to have cleansing properties for the body and mind, promoting relaxation and well-being.
Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light dishes, Premium Dragon Well Tea is a luxurious treat for tea enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, authentic Chinese green tea experience. Its exquisite taste and aroma make it a perfect choice for special occasions or simply for moments of relaxation and indulgence.
