Product information
- Anxi 'Tieguanyin'
- Pure Leaf Teas
- Brews 60 Cups
Origin Anxi, Fujian China
Black Dragon oolong is grown in the mountains of Anxi County, the home of oolong tea in China. There are at least twelve oolong tea plant cultivars growing in Anxi, each with its own distinct flavor profile. The most famous of these cultivars is Tieguanyin, meaning "Iron Goddess of Mercy" in Mandarin.
Oolongs
Oolongs range in their flavor (mild and floral to strong and toasty) and color (from light green to dark) depending on the processing technique adopted. Black Dragon is a darker oolong with high oxidization.
Rolling Technique
Leaves are plucked and then withered to reduce moisture. When suitable leaf suppleness is achieved, traditional rolling techniques (wrapping the leaves in a cloth and binding it tightly into ball shape) are applied in conjunction with light roasting.
Roasting
Successive and short re-rolling and re-roastings are done to achieve the optimal shape and flavor. A final roast is given to complete the processing.
Flavor Profile
Toasted aroma with a sweet, strong, grain aftertaste.
Details
