Highlights

Shi Feng dragon well is regarded as the best of West Lake dragon well, the cream of the crop. The beautiful scenery and rich history of Shi Feng mountain, or "Lion’s Peak", in West Lake, Huang zhou gives this tea a wonderful sensory experience as well as a romantic and spiritual appeal. 

This tea is produced and signed by the nationally revered tea master Mr. Weng Bingquan, the founder of the trademark Shi Gong of Shi Feng Long Jing tea company. Hand-crafted and produced in late March, this is an exceptional tea in every respect, the best in the world. The nutty flavor is strong, but does not overpower your senses, rather it possesses a fragrant elegance along with huigan (回甘), a beautiful, sweet aftertaste, as if one were comfortably floating backward in time to pleasantly familiar moments. There is little question that this tea is an exceptional treat for the discriminating connoisseur, and once you taste true dragon well, you will never forget it.

Sold as the original signature 250g pack.

4. Brewing time: about 1-2 minutes. If you use a gaiwan or porcelain teapot, please don’t cover your tea with the lid.
