Dragonwell is distinguished by its beautiful shape, emerald color, scented smell and tending sweet floral character.The tea leaves that become Dragonwell are plucked before the Clear Light Festival or at the least before the spring rains have fallen. The choicest come from a part of the mountain called Lions Peak. Legend has it that in 250 AD a Taoist monk affirmed that there must be a dragon lurking in a certain spring not far from Hangchow. The monk implored the well dragon to come to the rescue of the poor farmers suffering a crippling drought. Instantly, the clouds came rushing in from every side and poured forth a timely rain. One account of this, and old temple adjoining the spring is known as Dragons Well Monastery, and this tea derives its name from this legend.
