Green Dragon

Oolong Tea by Teas Etc

Smooth and aromatic, this Taiwanese oolong is considered a u201Cgreen" oolong or Pouchong tea because it is less oxidized (about 17).

The dried, almost pellet like green leaves begin to unfurl revealing an exquisite, pale yellow liquor with a natural floral note and crisp finish.

Green Dragon Tea Type: Oolong Tea

Ingredients: Taiwanese oolong tea

Origin of Green Dragon : Ali Shan, Taiwan

Not as smooth or sweet

I decided to have a bit of fun, I made some plain oatmeal (you know the kind you never want to eat in the variety pack) with the tea, and mixed in a bit of cranberry and almond. It was good, The tea was hidden by the other flavors and next time perhaps a fuller tea would show more.

This is pretty yummy. The smell of the steeped leaves reminds me more of a milk oolong. I’m also getting a pretty veggie vibe as I inhale the aroma from my cup. It tastes almost buttery if that’s even possible. It goes down very smooth too and I must say I like that. I’ll be sad when this sample is gone. Which at this rate will be in less than an hour. :)

Warming up after a wet day sailing with warm, well rounded Green Dragon Oolong from Teas Etc. One of my favorites.
