At a high altitude of 1,900m, the remote Ximeng garden is home to our Red Dragon, a black tea of extraordinary character. Grown in the fertile soils of ancient Chinese terroir, it has the characterful flavours of chocolate and malt that Yunnan black teas are renowned for – but with a twist. Ripe, tropical lychee and dark berry tartness come from the experimental use of a Taiwanese oolong cultivar. With such an enormous flavour range, drinking this tea is a uniquely wonderful experience.

Large, twisted, matte black leaves with dusky golden tips.
Aroma
Ripe and fruity, with blackberry tartness and malty depth.
In the Cup

Taste
Rich and syrupy, with notes of caramel, chocolate, lychee and black cherry.

What a great find. The most flavoursome ever

Do not know the correct trems of the real tea world. I have been drinking quality teas for years and this is the one that suits me the best. It is a slightly sweet taste but lots of different flavours. Yet it has enougth earth to make it a black.
