Sleeping Dragon green tea is grown at 800 meters above sea level in the mountainous Fujian province. The tightly rolled leaves and silvery fuzzy buds give this tea its signature shape and name. In the cup, it delivers a soft, fruity sweetness enfolded by a rich smokey note similar to gunpowder, but more complex and crisp in the finish. Sleeping Dragon remains a great cup for a green tea novice or those who oppose the grassy character of some varieties.
TEA TYPE
Green Tea
CAFFEINE
Moderate
Green tea usually offers a gentler lift than black tea or coffee, with enough caffeine for a light, refreshing boost.
STEEP
180° for 2-3 mins
Use the shorter steep for a smoother cup; over-steeping may taste bitter.

There unfortunately isn't an easy answer for that questions, Kim. Green teas have a moderate amount of caffeine, but it's difficult to calculate the caffeine per cup. Please see this info page

When I brewed a two cup pot of Sleeping Dragon, it came out a bit bitter. Nothing that a bit of honey couldn't fix, but what did I do wrong?

Hello Kevin! A couple of factors can contribute to bitterness: too much tea, not enough water, water too hot, over-steeping, etc. For more detailed help, please email us: info@adagio.com
