INFORMATION:
Like most things that have been around for a couple thousand years, Mountain Dragon Green Tea comes with an incredible story. Legend has it that centuries ago, a tea artisan working alone in the hills of Yunnan was set upon by bandits. After beating him, the bandits stole an entire season's worth of tea he was readying for market. Because the artisan lived and worked alone, his cries went unanswered, his pleas dissipating into the thick Yunnan forest. The evening fell and with it, complete darkness since there was no moon that night and the artisan hadn't the strength to light a fire. Drifting off to sleep he decided that in the morning he would make his way down from the hills for aid.
That night, a dragon came to the tea maker in a dream. The beast explained that as the benevolent deity of a nearby mountain peak, he had seen what the bandits had done that day. He told the artisan that if he wanted help he should rise out of bed and make his way to the top of the mountain to visit him. Still dreaming, the tea maker asked how he would be able to see, given the darkness, and climb, given his injuries. The dragon told him his path would be lit with dragon-fire to provide light and a warm wind to lift him up the mountain.
The artisan did as he was told, reaching the dragon's cave by daybreak. Pleased by his obedience, the dragon bid the artisan to get up on his back. Together they swooped down into the valley, coming upon the bandits as they made their way into town. With one blast of his fiery breath, the dragon reduced the bandits to a pile of ashes, then swooped down, grabbed the sacks of stolen tea and delivered the artisan back to his home. Before leaving, the dragon healed the man, restoring his strength.
Wishing to give thanks, the artisan decided to blend his recovered tea with safflower petals to represent the fire of the winged beast. His blend was so successful and made the man so much money he was able to attract a sturdy and handsome wife - he no longer had to live and wok alone! Put the dragon's magic to work for you by brewing a pot of this exquisite Yunnan green.
