Parsing down to exactly how Dragonwell is classified，there are about 3 main regions, of which Westlake Dragonwell region is tops. Within the Westlake region, Lion’s Peak series of hills are the utmost. Of Lion’s Peak, Hu Gong Miao 胡公廟 is supreme because of its elevation and soil made up of white sand clay. This is superior to Niu Huang Shan, which has a mix of white sand and more yellow clay. The price difference? About 1.5 times more expensive just for that slight difference.
Having tasted the 100% handmade Dragonwell, I am completely and irrevocably unhinged and madly obsessed. I asked the tea master to make some handmade lot from Hu Gong Miao, so it’s the supreme of the supreme. In a couple days, the Pre-Rain lot might even be remotely affordable!
