Lion Mountain Dragonwell
Lion Mountain Dragonwell
Origin: Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Cultivar: Original Longjing
Picking Standard: 1 bud to 2 leaves
Tea Master: Weng Shang Yi
Rich and complex with striking chestnut notes, this Dragonwell (Longjing) is from the original cultivar in the original center of Longjing production. Although the Longjing #34 cultivar is more common, Mr. Weng (age 86) continues to use it to produce his signature tea by hand.
Not to gush, but this is the best Dragonwell we've ever had. The infusion is a clear, yellow-gold color tinged with green. The flavor is warm and full with the characteristic notes of chestnut and hay. Even the spent leaves are beautiful.
Limited edition.
