BUDDHA DRAGONWELL
DA FO LONG JING
A wonderful modern take on one of China’s most prized teas, at one time reserved for the Imperial Court. Big Buddha Dragonwell is produced in a new growing region for this style of tea, which originally hails from Hangzhou. This version is made in Xin Chan County, which is renowned for a very large Buddha statue & ancient temple perched atop the highest mountain in the area, hence the addition of “Big Buddha” to this tea’s name.
The result is a lovely, complex tea with alluring light chestnut & floral notes as well as pleasingly fresh, green taste that arises from a combination of the pristine environment where the tea is grown, as well as a skilled tea maker who embraces the tea’s inherent light, spring-like nature by delicately & carefully wok-drying the leaves by hand without overheating or roasting.

Gongfu!
I have had this tea for waaayyyy too long without trying it, but I woke up in a green tea mood yesterday and so it seemed like the perfect time to steep it up. This is a pretty nutty/chestnut forward tea, with some cornsilk notes as well. However, after the first steep it also gets some very distinct and vegetal green bean notes, which are maybe a little less up my alley. It was an alright little mini session overall, but not something I’d be likely to steep up again all that soon.
