Dragon's Breath
Oolong tea, Vietnam

Wood, sweet spice, tobacco - light & supple
From the beautiful, rural district of Moc Chau in the Son La Province, Northwest Vietnam, Dragon’s Breath is a heavily oxidised oolong that is lightly rolled to form the leaves into twists. The leaves infuse into an amber-coloured liquor with a fragrant aroma of wood, sweet spice and hints of tobacco. It is light in body with a supple mouthfeel. 

Steeped at 90° draws out a sweeter flavour. Increasing the water to 95° reduces sweetness and brings dry, woody notes. 

October 2020 harvest.

Preparation: Steep for 2 - 3 minutes at 90 - 95°. Four infusions.
