Golden Dragon (Jin Long)

A wonderful green tea characterized by its broad green-golden leaf. Not a common offering but at some point each year we find a lot. Perhaps the widest of the flat-leafed greens from Zhejiang Province, it is fired and worked by hand in a wok-like pan. Once fired, broad golden leaves impart a roasted and nutty flavor. It has a distinctive aroma that is fresh, it's gold and green color are very appealing visually and, once cupped, it will definitely satisfy.
