Dragonwell Long Jing - Organic Loose Green Tea

My “go to” green tea

This is my daily favorite green tea. It is earthy, mellow and light - perfect for sipping from an insulated mug all day. Like jasmine pearls (which is also great but a bit more special), I make a second cup from the same leaves to share.

This is my second bag of Dragonwell tea. It has a nice mellow taste.

My favorite daily tea

I've tried a number of different teas now from this shop and enjoyed them all. This is the one I keep going back to as my daily tea. I enjoy the flavor and aroma of this tea, it's delicious without any added flavoring (like flowers, or fruits, or spices). I also like to learn about the health benefits, and also the history of this particular type of tea. I am reading Amy Tan's "The Kitchen God's Wife" and I came across a line that said "... the monks grew dragon-well tea, the best tea in all of China" and I thought "that's my tea"! Looking forward to trying more and more varieties of tea, but I know I will often come back to this one.
