Dragon Well is the most famous of all Chinese green teas. This tea is grown in the West Lake region of Zhejiang, China and the leaves are only cropped during the spring time. The weather in this region is ideal for growing tea as the dew drenches the leaves each morning, which helps create the superior quality and taste of Dragon Well green tea.
According to Chinese legend the village where this tea is grown was suffering from a severe draught. A monk summoned a dragon to save the village, the rains came and the village was saved. To this day a well provides the village with fresh spring water for the meadow where Dragon Well tea is grown.
