Dragonwell is the best known of all of China's green teas and has the distinguished reputation for producing green tea of superior quality. The Tiger Run Spring feeds the estates that produce Dragonwell. According to legend, farmers in the Dragowell growing region of Hangzhou had been praying for rain when they discovered a dragon peering from a spring in the hills. The farmers begged the dragon for help and instantly it started to pour. In honor of this event the spring became known as the Dragon's Well Monastery. Known for its rich vegetative aroma and fresh, crisp flavor Dragonwell is often referred to as "The Emperor's Liquor".
