Osmanthus Dragon Well Green Tea, 0.88 OZ

About This Product: Our osmanthus Dragon Well Green Tea combines the pleasant aromatic scent of Osmanthus flower with the flavorful taste of Premium-grade Dragon Well green tea, known as Long-Jing tea (Chinese: 龍井茶) in China. Dragon Well tea is a type of pan-roasted green tea from the outskirts of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. It is produced mostly by hand and renowned for its high quality, earning it the China Famous Tea title.

Ingredients and Flavor Profile: The tea is made of Premium-grade Dragon Well green tea and osmanthus flower. This Premium-grade Long-Jing tea was picked in the early Spring before the Qing Ming festival on the outskirts of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The temperate, overcast and rainy winter climate of Hangzhou contributes to the tenderness and sweetness of the buds and leaves. The leaves are picked in early Spring and then pan-fried in a wok which brings out the unique ‘Dragon Well’ characteristics, with slight sweet and bitter delicacies and the distinguished 'roasted chestnut' aroma and taste that coat one’s mouth. With the pleasant aroma added by the osmanthus flower, this tea results in a perfect balance of flavors that is both relaxing and refreshing!

Brewing and Serving Suggestions: Use water just boiled, or about 80~90ºC (176-194 °F), and infuse for 1 to 2 minutes before drinking. Experiment with the amount of tea leaves, amount of water, and infusion times to reach your preferred strength of tea. The taste and aroma can last through multiple infusions! No filter is needed and many enjoy chewing on or eating the tender leaves.

Packaging: Each 0.88 oz pouch can be used to make about 6-8 cups of tea (about 3-4 grams for 200 ml of water per serving).

Health Benefits: The tea is made of all natural products, and is known for its potential health benefits, including boosting immunity, free-radical scavenging, and providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
