You know it when you see it”, the mere sight of this tea indicates how special it is. “Dragon’s Tails” is a spectacular white tea procured from the Tay Con Linh mountain range in the depths of Ha Giang province. The tea tree is several hundred years old and grows at an altitude of 2000m above sea level. Tea pickers have to climb the mountain the day before next day’s dawn to cut back on time, the tea would go through the first stage of fermentation on the backs of tea pickers returning home. This tea is the gnarly product of Ha Giang’s ancient teas; the trees are so old that there is moss and vines growing from them. As such, this white tea has an interesting bite, still subtly sweet, great mouthfeel, but a tingling fruity aftertaste at back of your throat. For the experimental drinkers, try a cold brew of this tea, it’s very interesting.
Taste notes: grilled vegetable aroma, sometimes the roses blossom, light sweet.
