Meijiawu Dragonwell

Description

The Zhu family, who has been living in Meijiawu for generations, started to grow tea about 300 years ago. The family has kept the hand-processing technique to produce the highest grade Dragon Well teas, and the father has been engaged in the tea processing technology for over 40 years. He is highly skilled and well-versed in the traditional hand-crafted tea making process.

How To Brew

Use 2 grams (1 teaspoon dried tea leaves) for 8 fl. oz. water in your favorite teapot or infuser (use bottled drinking water for best flavor, let boil and steep at 175F). Steep for 45 seconds-1 minute. Leaves may be infused at least 3 times.

These are suggested brewing instructions. We encourage you to experiment and share your own brewing methods as you continue to grow in the tea culture. If you're new to tea this is a good way to start.
