Toasted Jade - Xi Hu Long Jing (Dragon Well) 西湖龍井
The tea that started it all. Dragon Well is China's most famous green — nutty, sweet, that unmistakable toasted rice scent. Flat-pressed by hand in bamboo woks. Once you taste the real thing, the grocery store stuff tastes like lawn clippings.
What's here:
🌾 Spring 2023 — Fresh popcorn and spring flowers
Light, crisp, that "clean slate" feeling. The perfect Monday morning reset.
✨ Spring 2022 First Pluck — SOLD OUT
The masterpiece vintage. Join the waitlist — we get 5 kilos a year, and it disappears to collectors.
The story: From Shi Feng Shan, the original Dragon Well village. Heirloom bushes. Hand-fired in small batches. This is what emperors drank.
Brew: 175°F, 2 minutes. The leaves stand up straight when it's ready — that's how you know.
