Wood Dragon
This is considered a comforting drink in its native Taiwan, enjoyed in many restaurants and homes. Comprised mainly of twigs from a competition grade High Mountain oolong, it boasts a notable butterscotch aroma—the result of an extra firing process. Sweet flavors of caramel and wood finish with a note of apricot, and a pleasingly light mouthfeel.

Nice smokey flavor & nose, yet goes down very smooth. Wonderful earthiness but light and refreshing.
This is a favorite in my household. We started with the sample and quickly came back for the larger quantity. Its roasty, warm flavor and its lower caffeine content make it enjoyable to drink through many infusions.
Distinctive flavor and aroma, aptly named. Inspired thoughts of musty forests and mythical creatures.
I remember the first cup I made of this tea because I'd never had any tea with such a rich, inviting aroma. I enjoy tea as a balm for frosty mornings, and Wood Dragon has all of the best qualities of a first-rate brew: lovely color, warming bouquet and a satisfying finish. Try this unsweetened or sweetened; a spot of honey only serves to compliment the smoky flavor.
I enjoyed this oolong variation. There is a nice flavor balance with the various parts of the tea plant.
A fine cup of brew especially for an afternoon treat.
A favorite for afternoon tea with friends.
