Place of origin
China
The village of Mei Jia Wu is located in the region around the West Lake in the surroundings of the town of Hangzhou (the Chinese like to say that thanks to its beauty it is the closest place to heaven inhabited by man). Since time immemorial it has been known that the best quality Dragon’s well tea originates from this region, of which Mei Jia Wu is the centre. This Dragon Well tea originates from a small farm directly in the village, which according to legend is supplied by water from the Well of the Dancing Dragon. A look into this well when the sun’s rays are at the right angle revelas a dancing dragon on the surface of the water, which according ot legend is the reason for the origin of the name “Dragon Well”. “Supreme” class is the highest class, and offers a very strong aroma and taste typical for these teas, in comparison with lower classes the leaves are smaller, and the proportion of active substances and amino acids is higher. The tea provides several infusions, over the course of which its taste and aroma develops.

Brew the necessary quantity of tea in hot water at a temperature of 75-85°C for a period of 1 minute for the first and second infusions. With further infusions progressively extend the brewing time.

Měl jsem možnost vyzkoušet hodně dračích studní, ale tyhle z vesnice Mei Jia Wu jsou opravdu vynikající. Samotná vůně bez zalití vodou po otevření sáčku mě doslova posadila na zem. Po zalití mě příjemně oslovila. Po dopití šálku se dostavil do několika minut povzbuzující účinek.

Dávám 5 bodů za poměr cena/"výkon", předčil moje očekávání, které jsem si nastavila u jiných prodejců a čajů v této cenové hladině

Váraznější vůně než chuť, musí se trochu déle louhovat, aby vynikla chuť. Na běžné pití moc dobrý čaj.
