Your cart is empty.Our Black Dragon tea comes from the famous oolong producing area of Anxi in Fujian, China. Anxi oolongs are also sometimes referred to as “Se Zhong,” meaning a blend of several oolongs. The processing of this tea is quite similar to that of the popular Tieguanyin oolong style. Oolong teas range in their flavor and color from light green to dark. Usually, color indicates the level of oxidization in the tea leaves, and tea merchants sometimes refer to percentages of oxidation to indicate where on the spectrum their oolong falls. Low (5% to 25%) oxidized teas are more green. Black Dragon is a somewhat darker, 40% oxidized oolong. The leaves are tightly rolled into small pellets. When infused, the leaves unfold into their original state and provide many infusions.

These tea leaves aren't chopped up bits of dust and stems like a Lipton tea bag, these are whole leaves curled and rolled. That alone speaks to the quality. When steeping it's best to not contain in a tea ball or other common infusion devices, but instead let free floating to fully unravel as it steeps and then strain off. These leaves benefit from the gongfu tea tradition with multiple short steeps of only 30 seconds and tossing the first steep as a rinse rather than drinking it (as is the custom in the gongfu tea tradition). Each successive steep being different in flavor from the last. The tin is excellent storage to maintain freshness and the first rounds of steeping have a great dark red color.

This tea was delivered within a day. It was easy to take out and place in my tea infuser. It has a very robust flavor. I was able to steep 3 times without loss of flavor. I was also able to use the waste in my garden to help my planted veggies get good nutrients. I also appreciate that I can now use the tin for whatever I may like.

It's decent oolong for the price. The leaves are not whole, just loose bits with stems. The aroma is normal oolong. The flavor is mild and I was able to get three 12oz infusions out of 1 1/2 teaspoons. Compared to restaurant oolong, its not as flavorful because restaurants use dark oolong (which is heavily oxidated /baked/roasted, longer). Overall, I would buy again.

Required more than twice the amount of tea than the label specifies. Following the directions precisely produced VERY weak tea. I'm no expert but I thought that oolong tea is defined as tea which is fermented intermediately between green and black teas. What is black oolong and green oolong.note: would be 4 star if not for the serious underrepresentation of how much you need to use.
