Black Dragon red (black) tea 50 g

Black Dragon red tea comes from Taiwan and a specific Camellia cultivar is used for its production. It is in fact a hybrid between two different botanical varieties: the Jin Xuan cultivar, native to the island and very widespread, and the Ruan Zhi cultivar, more commonly called "Soft" and of Chinese origin. It is not strange that in Taiwan such a meticulous selection of cultivars is carried out: the island remained under Japanese rule from 1895 to 1945, undergoing its obvious influences also with regards to tea production (in relation to which we know that the country of Sol Levante is much more technical and precise than what is done in China).
