The Story
Dragon Well tea is highly prized and considered one of China's most famous green teas. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong visited the Hangzhou region and, while traveling near the West Lake, he stopped at the Dragon Well (Longjing) village. As the emperor rested, the villagers presented him with a refreshing cup of green tea picked from the local tea bushes. Impressed by the exceptional taste and fragrance of the tea, the emperor decided to personally inspect the tea bushes.
While observing the tea-picking process, he noticed a dragon-shaped well in the village. The emperor was so impressed with the tea that he granted the well and the village imperial recognition. The tea produced in this region came to be known as Longjing, or Dragon Well, tea in honor of the well and the village's association with the dragon motif.

I’ve never understood our camping buddies not liking Lapsang Souchong. After all they all say how much they like getting home and finding all there clothes smell of smoke.
Recently introduced Golden Goose into the mix and it captured some interest. There is hope for them yet.

I am really enjoying my sticky chai….. especially the ginger flavour which gives me the taste I like to identify.
I often use my diffuser in a mug rather than the infusion bottle and that works well if I just want a mug of chai just for myself.
I have samples to try and I want to try a chilled chai as well. I’m on a ‘tea adventure’
