Golden Dragon Yellow Tea Organic
Golden Dragon is an organic yellow tea with a warm golden liquor. Our tasting notes describe a lightly processed leaf with a lively floral aroma and a rich, rounded taste.
Its floral character, clean mouthfeel and gentle body may appeal to someone who enjoys a lightly oxidized oolong. Brew at the lower temperature below, then try a second infusion before increasing the leaf amount.
