Dragon´s Tail

Buds from wild Camellia Taliensis tea trees growing in the mountain jungle of Tay Con Linh in Ha Giang province in northern Vietnam. Hand-picked from mature trees between November and January at an altitude of 1,800-2,200 meters. Small but robust buds with a very specific shape, light green color, and delicate floral aroma. An almost clear infusion with a delicate sweet taste and noble floral tones of meadow herbs, with hints of vanilla, jasmine, and citrus. The tea can withstand an incredible number of infusions, in which the taste develops pleasantly.

How to brew Dragon´s Tail

Use 5 grams of tea leaves for 0.5 litre of boiling water cooled to 85-90 °C, steep for 2–3 minutes. These tea leaves are also suitable for Asian-style preparation, which includes multiple infusions: you steep 5 grams of tea leaves per 150 ml of water that has boiled and cooled to 85–90 °C for 20 seconds and in the following three infusions, you steep the leaves for 30, 40, and 60 seconds, respectively. Feel free to experiment with steeping time, water temperature, and the amount of tea leaves. You can also read our articles on tea preparation and water quality.
