Green Dragon is a greener oolong with low oxidization. Sun Withering For Green Dragon, mature leaves are plucked and then withered in the sun (weather permitting) to reduce moisture. Traditional Rolling Once suitable suppleness is achieved, rolling techniques are applied, which include wrapping the leaves in cloth, then binding the cloth tightly into a ball shape. Roasting After rolling, leaves are lightly roasted. Successive re-rollings and re-roastings are done to achieve the optimal shape and flavor. A final roast is given to complete the processing. Flavor Profile Smooth, golden infusion with grassy, toasty and light floral notes The Tao of Tea Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work serving as a connecting thread for tea culture in 1997. Practicing this art on daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight, and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul.
