  • Description

    A unique and enticing black tea that was innovatively crafted using a Taiwanese oolong cultivar. The multi-layered infusion highlights flavours of lychee, raspberry and malt, with hints of milk chocolate in the finish.

    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.
