Big Snow Mountain Black Tea and Royal Chrysanthemum Dragon Ball
A delicious cup. A robust black tea and golden Royal Chrysanthemum flowers combine to create a beautiful dark red-amber soup with a light floral aroma and a delicate sweetness. Grown at 1800 meters elevation in Mengku County, Lincang, the tea leaves are actually a Camelia Assamica picked in the first flush of Spring from 40 year old wild trees. The Royal Chrysanthemum flowers add a delicate floral nose and flavor and gives the tea a slippery quality that soothes a scratchy throat. The flowers are known to have numerous health benefits, as well.
Each Dragon Ball is approximately 8 grams.
Water: 195°F | Leaves: 4 grams per 12 oz | Infusion Time: 3-4 minutes
Basic Steeping Tips
- Use filtered or spring water, whenever possible
- Don’t overboil water
- Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
- If you want stronger tea, use more leaves instead of steeping for a longer time
Leaves can be resteeped 2-3 times resulting in various flavor differences. Don’t throw out those leaves until they have given it all up!
