This is a limited offer of Mingqian dragonwell green tea produced by our friends at the Nine Trees teahouse in the Manjuelong Village of Hangzhou's West Lake Area. Their tea plots are primarily located on the slopes of the Baihefeng, or the White Crane Peak which lies between Lion's Peak and the Running Tiger Spring.
These are the highest quality mingqian dragonwell teas that we source every year, and we are excited for this opportunity to share such highly sought after teas.
Each heat-sealed package contains 50 grams of premium tea.
Did not know what to expect, but the chocolatey, earthy, roasty taste is exceptional. Very mellow, smooth, and relaxing-feeling. A wonderful first dive into yellow tea for me.
This is absolutely one of my favorites. I’m about to order another batch so that I never run out. I’m very impressed with the depth of the flavor notes and the gentle hug from smokiness of it.
