Premium green tea from China Praised as the national tea of China, this legendary tea is made of loose leaves and known for its high quality. The history of tea goes back to the Qing Dynasty, where it was given the status of an imperial tea, as it was often served to the emperor. Some say that this tea is best made with water from Dragon Well, one of the four best natural springs in Hangzhou. Dragon Well, with its combination of green tea and osmanthus flowers, has a very malty and warm scent while at the same time having a fresh and spicy flavour. Preparation: Add 2 g of Dragon Well to 200 ml of hot water (80 °C) and leave to brew for about 3 - 5 minutes.
