Dragon Well is a pan-fried green tea produced in the West Lake of Hangzhou. It is said to have been named after a well that contains relatively dense water. After a rainfall, the lighter rainwater floating on its surface would exhibit a sinuous and twisting boundary with the well water, resembling the movements of a Chinese dragon.

Dragon Well exudes a refreshing aroma of roasted chestnuts or beans. This tea is rich in vitamin C and is purported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. As a beverage that cools one down effectively, Dragon Well is recommended if you want to cool down from the scorching heat.
