The new 2018 Pre-Qingming Dragonwell is here! This early spring tea is all about a fine and subtle sweetness, and a long, drawn out aftertaste and crisp texture. Cool spring weather produces a small harvest of truly sweet tea. This will be Mrs. Li’s first picking of the season, carefully hand-finished by her husband. Her true original cultivar Dragonwell (Longjing Qunti) grows on the mountain slopes of Shi Feng and draws in sweet mountain spring water.
