LUCKY DRAGON HYSON (China Green Tea). COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: China. GRADE: Young Hyson. MANUFACTURE TYPE: Steamed green tea. CUP CHARACTERISTICS: Greenish yellow colour. There is good body in the cup and smooth fresh greenish tasting liquor. INFUSION: Pale yellow green. TEA INFORMATION: Hyson translates to “Flourishing Spring” and this particular varietal imparts the fresh green character you would expect to be a part of any springtime tea experience. The leaves are picked as young growing shoots at the top of the bush and manufactured into rolled, long, twisted and sometimes almost clam shaped peices. The term ‘young’ was added to distinguish that the tea was made from young leaves (new shoots) and therefore better quality and better tasting.
