from the well with the dragon head
Dragon Well (Long Jing) is one of the most famous green teas from China and is recognized for its flattened leaf appearance. These blade-style leaves are the result of a laborious drying process where the freshly plucked tea is tossed into a blazing wok. A skilled tea roaster has their hands on the wok for hours at a time, drying the leaves over time, patiently layering in subtle nutty flavors without burning the tea.

Water matters!
Water matters!
Quality water is just as important as quality tea when it comes to your brew. Here's what we recommend:
- Filtered Water - standard home filtration systems, Brita, Hydros, you name it. Filter that isht!
- Spring Water - have access to bottled spring water, or have an actual clear spring by where you live? Try brewing with spring water and unlock unique sweetness in your cup!
- Reverse Osmosis - RO filtration systems are standard for tea and coffee shops, and provide the most consistently great water for brewing any of your favorite drinks. For your home, counter-top as well as below-the-counter systems are great to help step up your water game!
- Customized Recipes - are you a budding scientist? Check out custom water recipe kits like Lotus and Third Wave Water
