Description
To celebrate the year of the snake – also referred to as the "little dragon" in China – we have chosen a shimmering white tea with enchanting aromas reminiscent of oolong. It is made from the ruan zhi cultivar, and harvested along Dahei mountain. A true marvel!
The heady notes of flowers combine with hints of mild spices. This elixir is a whirlwind of endlessly smooth, complex aromas.
