In Chinese mythology and culture, the dragon symbolizes the positive yang energy and the Chinese nation as a whole, strongly associated with the element of water. The Chinese refer to the system of channels that concentrate earth energy as the “Dragon’s Veins.” Wu Yi Long Tiao, or Dragon’s Veins Green Tea, is harvested in the northern part of Fujian province, in the ancient tea-growing region of Wu Yi Mountains. This area is renowned for its exquisite oolongs, but the locals have also long cultivated green tea like Long Tiao, often enjoying it during family tea sessions.

 Harvest and Production

High-quality Wu Yi Long Tiao is handpicked in early spring. The harvest includes the first young leaves and unopened buds, which are immediately processed. The tea leaves are roasted in special cauldrons and twisted during the roasting process. This meticulous method ensures the tea retains its distinctive flavor and quality.

Brewing Method
