Organic Jingmai Ancient Dragon

Leaf Form: One bud, two leaves
Organic Cert: USDA, EU 2092/91
Jingmai Ancient Dragon oolong tea, cultivated 5000 feet above sea level in the Jing Mai Ancient Tea Tree Plantation of Southwestern Yunnan Province, is a hearty and robust tea made up of ancient tree tea buds accompanied by one and two leaves. The tea liquor, honey green in color, emits floral and smoked tones with a smooth, buttery like aftertaste which can be felt on the sides of the tongue. Dragon Oolong is only slightly oxidized at 15%. As such it is similar to the likes of green tea presenting slightly more astringent notes well noted in the front of the mouth but still offers some sweet and floral tastes similar to that of a traditional oolong. A bittersweet tea worth exploring.
