Picked before the Qing Ming festival held this year on April 5th, the leaves that make-up this wonderful tea were allowed to grow very slowly and sparsely over the winter, absorbing nutrients from the soil and developing great depth of flavour - that is what sets first-flush green tea apart from subsequent pickings. One of the most sought after green teas in the world. The traditional method of making Dragon Well is what really sets it apart. Each individual tea bud is hand-pressed and shaped in a wok to achieve the perfect level of roasting. The resulting emerald liquor has a magical flavour of sweet chestnut and touches of soft spring flowers.
