Dragon Well is picked in the hills above Hangzhou and pressed flat by hand in a hot wok, a step that gives the leaf its blade shape and toasted scent.
The cup is fresh and clean, with a chestnut sweetness. Brew it at 80°C and drink it with plain rice, steamed greens or a light biscuit.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
