Hints of delightful jammy pungency are released as the tiny snow dragons roar to life. Each dragon is hand-molded from selected downy covered leaves. A white tea that is painstakingly hand-formed. Legend has it that the tea looks like a dragon's tail.
Ingredients:
Fujian Province, China Snow Dragon white tea
Information:
The production of white tea is very different to green tea. First, the leaves come from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. Second, the leaves are not steamed or pan-fired as is the case in green tea. These leaves are dried and withered in the sun . If mechanical drying is required the leaves are baked (not fired) at temperatures less than 40¡C. Thirdly only special “two leaves and a bud” are selected. These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white color and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down. The ideal is a leaf or two being wrapped around a newly developing shoot. These shoots are plucked and segregated from the rest of the leaf being plucked. These leaves are then naturally withered and the painstaking process on final manual selection occurs.
