Gold Dragon Jasmine Organic Tea

Green Tea by Culinary Teas

This tea is a particularly good jasmine – hence the moniker Gold Dragon, (gold means wealth, prosperity, money and dragon means long life and strength). The jasmine tree comes into bloom only during May and June. The blossom only lasts for about 12 hours and only comes out at night after the sun goes down. About half way through the night the fragrance is at it’s peak and it is at this time the blossoms need to be picked and layer into the tea. By the morning most of the fragrance has disappeared from the blossom, but if the tea maker has done his job correctly, this heavenly scent has been transferred to the tea and captured in time. This process is carried out on 5 successive evenings to impart the superior flavor of specially selected tea and jasmine flowers.

Gillyflower

Okay…this is SO bitter and undrinkable that I’m sure I must have done something wrong. So I’m not going to rate it at this time, until I can tweak some things and try again.
