Tian Hu Shan Dragon Well Green Tea – First Grade Long Jing Loose Leaf 8oz (227g)

Discover Tian Hu Shan Dragon Well: a classic spring green tea

Tian Hu Shan presents a refined Dragon Well (Long Jing) green tea crafted from spring-picked buds. Through careful pan-firing, the leaves blossom with a gentle, roasted chestnut sweetness and a velvety mouthfeel. This First Grade tea embodies the bright, refreshing character that fans of traditional Chinese green tea seek in a daily ritual or a thoughtful gift.

Grown in a garden embraced by lush green forests, these young buds are processed to preserve aroma and clarity. The result is a cup that feels bright and clean, with a layered depth that invites repeat tastings. Loose leaves unfurl fully in hot water, releasing a spectrum of subtle flavors rather than a single note, making each brew a small exploration.

What makes this Dragon Well stand out

• Spring harvest: harvested each spring to capture peak fragrance and vitality, producing a lively, fresh cup.
• Pan-fired for depth: traditional firing brings distinct chestnut notes and a velvety texture that linger on the palate.
• Loose leaf format: whole leaves unfurl in water, offering a richer, more nuanced cup than teabags.
• Catechin presence: the tea contains natural catechins, contributing to its character and aroma, while allowing you to enjoy a time-honored tea experience.
• Freshness kept: packaged in cartons with inner foil bags and a sealing clip to maintain aroma and flavor over time.

Tasting notes and everyday moments

Expect a bright, refreshing aroma with a touch of roasted sweetness. The chestnut-like sweetness is complemented by a clean finish that pairs nicely with light bites or a quiet afternoon break. The cup often begins with delicate vegetal hints and reveals a soft, lingering aftertaste as the leaves slowly release their depth across multiple infusions.

• Flavor: chestnut sweetness, subtle vegetal undercurrents, and a refreshing finish.
• Texture: velvety smooth, with a clean mouthfeel that remains comforting across sips.
• Aroma: inviting, roasted-nut bouquet that rises gently from the cup.
• Serving ideas: ideal for a mindful morning routine, afternoon pause, or pairing with simple bites.

Brewing reminders

For best results, use water around 170–175°F (77–80°C) and let the leaves steep for 2–3 minutes. Start with a modest amount of tea and adjust to taste. Dragon Well is well-suited to multiple infusions, with flavor evolving with each brew.

Whether you’re brewing for yourself or gifting to someone special, Dragon Well’s springtime freshness and polished profile make a memorable impression without overstating the claim of guarantees—it's a possibility worth exploring in your daily tea experience.
