Each sip brings a moment of pure tranquility, inviting you to pause and appreciate the delicate craftsmanship and natural beauty that define this celebrated tea.
Origin & History
Dragon Well or Long Jing (龙井 in simplified Chinese | 龍井 in traditional Chinese) is one of the most famous styles of green tea in China. It originated in Hangzhou's West Lake region, in today's Zhejiang Province, China.
There are two cultivars used for the vast majority of this tea:
- "Bendi" (or native) is the oldest, heirloom cultivar
- "43" is a younger cultivar, developed in the latter part of the 20th century, and is commonly used to improve yields.
This particular batch of Dragon Well tea comes from the fabled Yellow Mountain, in Anhui province. They are using Bendi cultivar in a pristine tea garden, which yielded the best value-for-money (aroma, taste & environmental stewardship) among all the Dragon Well samples that we tried this year.
We chose this origin because it is much farther than West Lake from major urban developments, and because these particular growers have been supplying us with delicious, organically grown tea for over 10 years.

Embark on a bold journey with our Organic Premium Gunpowder tea.
Known for its intense, robust flavour, this classic Chinese green tea, called Zhu Cha or "Pearl Tea", offers a dynamic experience.
The tightly rolled leaves unfurl to release a strong, invigorating taste that awakens your senses.
Perfect for starting your day with energy and focus, let the rich heritage and powerful essence of Gunpowder tea elevate your tea ritual.
History & Origin
Production of gunpowder green tea reportedly started in the Tang Dynasty. The handcrafting method differs from other Chinese pan-fired green teas as 'gunpowder' is slightly withered, steamed, rolled, and dried.
The steaming step is unconventional for pan-fired green teas (typically you'll see only one of either steaming or pan-firing), but this additional step creates a bolder, in-your-face green tea that is ideal to wake up with.
This batch of tea was farmed organically in the hills of Central Hunan Province.

Embark on a bold journey with our Organic Premium Gunpowder tea.
In a quiet moment, the tightly rolled pearls of gunpowder green tea unfurl gracefully in hot water, releasing a soft swirl of steam laced with earthy, slightly smoky aromas. The pale amber liquor carries a gentle astringency balanced by notes of toasted hay, damp stone, and a subtle hint of sweetness. Each sip encourages stillness, grounding the mind in the present as warmth spreads through the body. The experience is not rushed—just you, the leaf, and the unfolding story in your cup, steep by steep.
