Thousand years long tradition of preparing Chinese green tea
continues in the noble estate tea Greenfield Flying Dragon. Classic mild flavour and
exquisite flowery aroma of the Flying Dragon Tea refreshes and invigorates your mind and
positively affects your body. In contrast to black tea that is preferred by Europeans,
green tea has a much longer history that numbers around two thousand years or, as some historians
believe, up to five thousand years. It is obvious that within this time the art of tea growing and
processing has reached a very high level. Each province in China has its own tea grades and secrets
of processing. On the other hand, the reverse of the medal is that only true specialists can
understand all the nuances and distinctions of different teas. Among the Chinese teas there
are truly world famous grades, for example, green tea from the province of Hunnan. This province is
located at the crossroads of the major trade routes of the ancient China: the Yangtze river and the
track between Canton with Beijing. It seems that the nature itself chose this area for growing tea
– no other place can boast with the soil properties, elevation above sea level and climate - all
creating such a perfect environment for Camelia Sinensis. Tea grown in the mountains at the
altitude of over 1000 meters above sea level is characterised with the very special flavour. The
leaves of these high-grown tea bushes are not big but are very tender and during processing are
transformed into small silvery cylinder particles. However, the true magic of this tea shows itself
after brewing when the rich aroma and yellowish brew colour of Greenfield Flying Dragon can
really make the soul of a real tea connoisseur shiver in anticipation of savouring its fine and
exquisite flavour.
