Dragon Well and Chrysanthemum
Dragon Well and Chrysanthemum
Canton Tea Co. Director Edgar discovered this harmonious blend in China, and liked it so much he personally recreated it at Canton Tea HQ:"It’s such an amazing combination, the soft velvet like texture of the Crysantheum and flowery notes highlights the nutty, slightly vegetal taste of the Long Jing."
The infusion is a lively bright yellow with a fresh and sweet aroma, and the flowers and pressed green Dragon Well look beautiful whilst brewing. The flavour perfectly showcases the delights of each component: the grassy, vegetal freshness of the Dragon Well, complimented with sweet Chrysanthemum, which make this blend refreshing and uplifting to drink.
The blend is hand mixed here in the UK and is a real treat to taste.
