Young Hyson

Green Tea by Tea Licious

Hyson or Lucky Dragon Tea is a Chinese green tea that comes from the Anhui Provence of China. It is made from young leaves that are thinly rolled to have a long, twisted appearance that unfurls when brewed. The name Hyson is likely a Chinese name meaning “flourishing spring”. However, some believe it to have been named after an English tea merchant, Phillip Hyson.

A little on the bitter side. A very earthy Chinese green, I prefer the Dragon Well. I get this when I feel adventurous

First off, thank you Tea Licious for the sample!

Liquor is a beautiful golden color. It tastes creamy, grassy, a little smoky, leaves a slightly dry feeling in the mouth. Even though it’s a green tea, it has much of oolong notes as well. It’s very smooth, there is almost no bitterness to it.
