Shi Feng dragon well is regarded as the best of West Lake dragon well, the cream of the crop. The beautiful scenery and rich history of Shi Feng mountain, or Lion’s Peak, in West Lake, Huang Zhou gives this tea a wonderful sensory experience as well as a romantic and spiritual appeal.

This tea is produced and signed by the nationally revered tea master Mr. Weng Bingquan, the founder of the trademark Shi Gong of Shi Feng Long Jing tea company. Hand-crafted and produced in pre-ming April, this is an authentic real dragon well tea in every respect, the cream of the crop. The nutty flavor is strong, but does not overpower your senses, rather it possesses a fragrant elegance along with sweet aftertaste, or huigan 回甘 in Chinese. There is little question that this tea is an exceptional treat for the discriminating connoisseur, and once you taste true dragon well, you will never forget it.

Note: When you purchase dragonwell, look out for the color and shape of the dry leaf. Authentic dragonwell has pale green-yellow color, not a deep green like most dragon wells on the market. Also the high quality dry leaf is spear shaped and flat, does not have large green leaves.
