Origins
In China, the much-loved and globally acclaimed green tea classic is shrouded in a handsome legend. According to this legend, around 250AD, a great drought struck the mountainous area near the village of Hangzhou. The poor farmers were devastated, worried about their meagre harvests and simply didn't know what to do. But close to the village, there was a well which housed a dragon. A Taoist monk decided to ask the dragon for help. He begged for rain, and sure enough, big clouds immediately gathered in the sky and it began to rain. Since then, the area has never completely dried up and has become very fertile. The villagers were able to continue to grow tea trees and sell their delicious dried leaves in the market. In honor of the dragon, they named the local tea Dragon's Well.
Many years have passed since then, but the tea gardens still keep the traditional methods of harvesting and processing the best tea plants. Each family farm guards their practices. The art of preparing tea leaves in such a way that they retain all their sensory qualities and health benefits has been handed down from generation to generation. Dragon Well is hand-picked early in the morning, and after a short wilting periond, the leaves are roasted in a large pan. By constantly stirring and pressing them against the walls and bottom of the hot pan, they acquire the characteristic flat shape. Everything is done by hand, the leaves are alternately pushed and "tossed", so it is a relatively long but really gentle process.
