Snow Dragon is a green tea from Fujian Province. To make it, downy buds of the Fuding Dai Bai tea plant are used, which are traditionally employed to produce Silver Needle. The “snow” reflects the long downy buds, while the “dragon” denotes the traditional method of the tea’s manufacture - Dragon Well. The long, flat leaves give an infusion that spans from light to dark green in colour. Its aroma is light with milky sweetness, while the taste is smooth and c reamy with a suggestion of ripening hazelnut.
