Red Dragon is a beautiful tea and is going to be one of my favourite go-to’s this Autumn
Delicious!
The taste of this tea is fascinating but it could perhaps benefit from a little more push.
Excellent
This is my favourite out of the 3 teas 🍵
This is an exceptional and distinct tea. Deeply complex and sweet, that continues giving through multiple steeps. I tasted candied blackberry, liquorice, maple syrup, melon and sweet tobacco. Top drawer stuff.
I am enjoying this tea very much. I take it in the afternoon each day and find that it gives me a boost when I am flagging. I will be buying again. 😎
wonderful taste
I was the first person to review this tea many years ago. It is still the GOAT teas. King have really come along and make such pretty packaging now. But for me after all these years you’d think a loyalty offer would be nice. From a not too rich but happy customer, may the red dragon flourish
hi
This has become my most favourite tea. It has a wonderful, softly scented aroma and rich and rounded taste without being too strong.
Does not taste anything like the description. Slightly bitter, no malty feel, not much smell either. I wouldn't waste my money on this.

Full of flavour, great tea for any time
Simply delicious - I’ve never tried a black tea like this before
This tea is really lovely. It reminds me of the tea my grandmother had in the 1970's that I have been searching for, for a long time.
I had bought red dragon oolong before from Jing, but a search on the website brought no joy, so I searched Google and there it was! On Jing.
The website is a liability.
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our website.
We will look into this issue promptly to ensure a smoother shopping experience for all customers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Warm regards,

This is my favourite black tea and I can't get enough! I enjoy drinking this in the morning with and without milk and it's the perfect start to my day. The taste is complex and something I savour with every sip. It has the familiar maltiness and strength of the black tea I was used to drinking, with a beautiful fruity and floral twist that I can't get enough of. Perfect for black tea lovers that are looking for something a little different and more complex - I highly recommend!

This is a favourite of mine. I drink it as a daily tea but the flavour, particularly the lychee, always prevents me drinking it mindlessly. I'd really recommend it.
I've also used it in baking and that's worked really well.
A very enjoyable tea if you love Yunnan teas or like to get to know them. Delicious with or without milk.
Great everyday tea but not only.
Would not hesitate to serve it to any tea enthusiast, layers of lingering taste, one of my favorites.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store JING tea?
All tea should be kept away from heat, light, moisture and odours. Exposure to these will cause the tea to deteriorate and lose flavour.
We recommend storing our loose teas in our beautiful Refill Caddies or its resealable ziplock bag, and store them in a cool dry place. Generally speaking, black teas and more heavily oxidized oolongs can be stored for a longer time than green, white and lightly oxidized oolong teas. Green teas, white teas and light oolong teas are best drunk within two to three months of opening.
However, they can also be stored in the fridge to maintain freshness for as long as possible. If you choose to store your green, white and light oolongs in the fridge, be careful to take the packs out a little in advance of making your tea so that they can reach room temperature. Opening a bag straight from the fridge will result in condensation on the inside of the pack, which when closed can then affect the quality of the tea inside.
What are your shipping methods and costs?
We offer free next day delivery on all mainland UK orders over £60 For a full list of our delivery options, cut off times and restrictions, please view our Delivery Information.
How do you source your teas?
We don’t just believe that single origin and single garden teas taste better. We go direct to source to get them. Cutting out the middlemen in this way encourages transparency by increasing traceability. It also helps us to build strong relationships with producers, so we can better support them and their communities. We back this up with stringent responsible procurement processes, applicable to all of our suppliers. You can find out more here.
