Dragonsprings
Extra Fine Green Tea

in 250 AD a Taoist monk declared that there must be a dragon dawdling in a certain fresh spring not far from Hangchow. The monk pleaded 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 well-timed rain. One account of this, an old temple adjoining the spring is know as Dragon’s Well Monastery, and the tea derives its name from the same legend
