Green dragon is an oolong from Anxi, China. Smooth, full-bodied golden infusion with a toasty, grassy-sweet flavor and light floral notes.

An enticing oolong

Green Dragon is harvested every year in the Spring. Although tea can be harvested throughout the year, harvests in the spring are superior because the tea leaves have stored up nutrients as the plant battled to survive in winter. Come spring, fresh buds blossom, ready to be picked. This makes for a superior tea.

Green Dragon tea is grown in the mountains of Anxi county, Fujian, the most famous oolong growing region in China. There are several oolong tea plant varietals (at least 12) growing in Anxi, each with its own distinct flavor profile, the most famous being Tieguanyin. Green Dragon, or Ben Shan, is a young varietal (a clonal), grown primarily near Raoyang village in Anxi. The plant has strong, heavy branches and brightly colored, distinct, ellipse-shaped leaves. It shares some similarities in fragrance with the Tieguanyin varietal.

Oolongs range in their flavor (mild and floral to strong and toasty) and color spectrum (from light green to dark) depending on the processing technique adopted. Ben Shan is a greener oolong with low oxidization.

For Ben Shan, mature leaves are plucked and then withered in the sun (weather permitting) for a few hours to reduce moisture.

Once suitable suppleness is achieved in the leaves, traditional rolling techniques (which include wrapping the leaves in cloth and binding it tightly into ball shape) are applied in conjunction with light roasting. Successive re-rollings and re-roastings are done to achieve the optimum shape and flavor. A final roast is given to complete the processing.

Ben Shan is best during spring (April-May), but if stored well (cool, dark, low humidity place) it maintains its flavor well throughout the year.

The Tao of Tea Green Dragon Oolong Tea Loose Leaf. Green Dragon is a greener less oxidized oolong so its taste is much lighter and more floral than many other oolongs. If the customer is looking for a stronger taste from the tea we recommend steeping the tea for slightly longer than recommended on the tin or adding more leaf. Otherwise the customer may be interested in a darker oolong such as Black Dragon.
