BESTLEAFTEA · ZHEJIANG, CHINA
Dragon Well character. Osmanthus fragrance.
A fragrant meeting of organic Long Jing green tea and osmanthus flowers. Also known as Dragon Well, Long Jing brings the green-tea character; osmanthus adds its distinctive sweet floral aroma. Together, they make a loose-leaf blend to enjoy slowly, from the first fragrance rising from the cup to the last sip.
A floral interpretation of Long Jing
Our tea comes from Zhejiang, China. The blend is deliberately straightforward: organic Long Jing green tea and osmanthus flowers. The organic ingredient is the Long Jing tea; the flowers give this blend its name and floral character.
If you enjoy green tea but would like a more fragrant cup, this is a different expression to explore. Notice the osmanthus aroma first, then taste how the green tea and flowers come together. Try the first cup on its own before adding anything, so you can get to know the blend.

A note on the name
Long Jing, Longjing and Dragon Well refer to the same tea name. This product is Osmanthus Long Jing—Long Jing green tea blended with osmanthus flowers, rather than a plain Dragon Well tea.
