Does anyone know anything about Dalonghao Mingqian? I got it from a student (who likely got it from his mother), so there isn't any information except what is on the package. The English description, which is worth reading as an example of literature in translation, reads:
"Introduction - It grows on the mountain peak admist the cloud and mist and is carefully collected and prepared before the Tomb-sweeping Day. its appearance resembles that of the dragon and its soup is brightly green. Fresh in flavor and rich in wholesome substance, Dalonghau Mingqian Green Tea is a natural and healthy drink free from pollution:"
It looks a little like white tea. It has a lot of buds but also some slightly larger leaves. I don't know why it is supposed to "resemble that of the dragon" because it doesn't look like oolong or long-jin. The smell when dry isn't tempting, and when brewed is very weak, but the flavor is mild and pleasant. Oh yeah, it's from Yunnan.
Best,
Rick.
