Description
This Grand Cru tea from Yunnan is harvested in the spring. It is shaped using an exceptionnal method: its leaves are rolled, bringing to mind pearls clutched in the claws of a dragon. Bai Cha is Chinese for "white tea," and Long Zhu is Chinese for "dragon pearls."
A magnificently shaped Grand Cru tea with vanilla, fruity, vegetal, and finely woody aromas.
