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, then binding the cloth tightly into a ball shape. Roasting Leaves are then lightly roasted. Successive re-rolling and re-roastings are done to achieve the optimum 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 with tea in 1997 to be a connecting thread for tea culture. Practicing the art on a 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.
