Fresh green tea produced in the famous tea province of Yunnan. Nine Dragons has a remarkable, slightly hoppy aroma to it, and if over-brewed, produces a similar astringency and bitterness. The delightful taste and aroma and delicate color give it a sparkling, almost effervescent, quality.

The producers cultivate dark green leaves and silvery shoots (mao feng) and gently interweave them into larger curls that unfold beautifully in the cup.

Nine Dragons Mao Feng is sold for $11.00 / oz.

 

Remembering the Tea King
In China, the cradle of tea culture, there is a part of Yunnan known as Xishuangbanna [see-shuang-ban-nah] that lies practically on the border with Burma. It is here that the king of tea trees, Cha-Shu Wang, stands at a proud 100 feet in the heart of the jungle. Cha-Shu Wang is an honorable 1,700 years old and is a site treasured by all tea enthusiasts.

This tea gets its name from a trip that Dobrá founders took in 1997 to visit the ancient tree. All agree, Yunnanese green tea calls back memories of this landmark and its importance in Dobrá history.
