Two Green Teas, Two Different Experiences
Prince of Peace offers two green teas that look similar on the shelf but serve very different daily routines. Dragon Well (Longjing) is a hand-processed loose leaf with a flat, smooth leaf shape and a mellow, slightly sweet taste. The Premium Green Tea comes in convenient tea bags and is described as having a delicate flavor and aroma. Choosing between them depends on how much time you want to spend brewing and how important traditional character is to you.
What the Labels Confirm
- Prince of Peace Dragon Well Tea- Loose Tea Leaves, 250g: Dragon Well Tea is grown near West Lake in Hangzhou, processed by hand through a 10-step process, and has a flat, smooth appearance, emerald green color, fresh fragrant aroma, and mellow slightly sweet taste. This traditional processing and origin give Dragon Well a distinctive character that green tea enthusiasts value. The hand-processing is a key differentiator from standard bagged green tea.
Prince of Peace Dragon Well Tea- Loose Tea Leaves, 250g - Prince of Peace Premium Green Tea, 20 tea bags: Premium Green Tea is made from young tender leaves that are washed, steamed, rolled, and dried to retain delicate flavor and aroma. It is a source of antioxidants. The steaming and rolling process preserves a fresh, light taste. The bag format makes it quick to brew, ideal for a fast cup without measuring loose leaves.

Dragon Well Loose Leaf vs Premium Green Tea Bags
The table below highlights the practical differences between the two teas based on supplied information.
- Leaf form and quantity: Dragon Well comes as 250g of loose leaves. Premium Green Tea contains 20 tea bags, each 1.8g, totaling 36g.
- Brewing method: Dragon Well: place 1 teaspoon of leaves in a glass cup, add water at about 180°F, steep 2–3 minutes. Premium Green Tea: place one bag in a 6 fl. oz. cup, add boiling water, steep 3–5 minutes.
- Flavor profile: Dragon Well is described as mellow and slightly sweet with a fresh, fragrant aroma. Premium Green Tea is described as delicate in flavor and aroma.
- Caffeine content: A typical cup of green tea has about 20–30mg of caffeine, according to the Premium Green Tea label. The Dragon Well label does not specify caffeine content.
- Multiple infusions: Dragon Well can be re-steeped: add more hot water when the first infusion is one-third full. Premium Green Tea bags are single-use.
Which One Fits Your Routine?
If you enjoy taking a few minutes to brew loose leaves and appreciate traditional Chinese tea culture, the Dragon Well loose tea is a rewarding choice. Its hand-processed character and ability to be re-steeped make it economical for multiple cups from a single portion.
If you want a quick, consistent cup without measuring or cleanup, the Premium Green Tea bags are practical. The 20-bag box is also more affordable upfront, making it a low-commitment way to add green tea to your day.
What the Labels Do Not Settle
Neither label specifies a precise harvest date or region beyond the general origin. The Dragon Well label does not confirm caffeine content per cup. The Premium Green Tea label does not describe the leaf grade or whether the bags are individually sealed. Both are made in China and contain only green tea leaves as ingredients.
