"Holy Dragon" Tian Long Oolong Tea (Taiwan)

DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, THIS TEA IS SOLD OUT

Master Lao Cha and his young disciple were sitting under a pine tree, enjoying the "Holy Dragon" Oolong Tea.

– "This tea," – Lao Cha began, – "is said to be like a dragon rising from slumber."

The disciple sipped, expecting a strong, harsh brew. Instead, he tasted serene sweetness. Puzzled, he asked: – "Master, but where's the dragon's power?"

Lao Cha chuckled: – "The strength isn’t in ferocity but in the tea’s smooth balance. It lifts you gently, like a dragon soaring through the clouds."

– "So, the true power is in its gentle force, not in a roar." – the disciple muttered, understanding.

– "Exactly," – Lao Cha nodded – "the tea’s strength is in its majestic serenity."
