529 China Snow Dragon
 This rare tea, known in China as "Xuelong", is grown in Taishun County, a pristine tea growing region near the Fujian border. The clean air and pure water contribute to the elegant, complex nutty-sweet flavor. The Snow Dragon is somewhere between a high grown green tea and a Silver Needle white with a hint of a superior Lung Ching. Similarly made by hand-drying in a wok, the result is a distinctive, flat leaf. The appearance is further enhanced by the young, white down-covered buds. An instant favorite - recommended for the green tea connoisseur and novice alike!
Enjoy many infusions with the same leaves; the tea does not get bitter even after an extended steeping time. This tea usually sells out long before the new harvest becomes available. Try while supply lasts!
Recommendations: Use approximately 2 grams (heaping soupspoon) per 6oz. cup; heat fresh water until steam rises (170 - 180ºF); let steep for 3-4 min. Good for multiple infusions.
Ingredients: Green tea
Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners have used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, digestion aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, enhance mental performance, reduce inflammation, improve bone mineral density and lower risk of heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer, particularly colon, lung and skin cancers.
