The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, samples a rare Dragonwell green tea with filmmaker, Josh Hyde. Easily one of the most renowned teas in China, Dragonwell from the Xi Hu (West Lake) protected area has a recorded history going back over a thousand years. The unique microclimate and pure spring water running into the tea fields help to create one of the richest and cleanest brews available in the tea world. We were lucky to get our hands on a very small amount of this premium and highly sought after tea. The brewed tea is thick and sweet, with a classically robust nutty and vegetal character. It is a highly subtle and ethereal tea which rewards care and attention while brewing. Find the highest quality teas at Trident Cafe and Teas.
