THE TEA MOOD

SOPHISTICATED

Evoking the sophisticated palate of Organic Imperial Oolong with its estate leaves, hand-picked at dawn to capture flavor at its peak.

THE MUSE

DRAGON

The Dragon signifies noble strength and Imperial power while its red hue is associated with the element of fire.

THE COLOR

PANTONE 1945 C

Notes from Julie Van Zant, MO Bar & Lounge Manager at Mandarin Oriental, New York:

“Rich notes of Organic Imperial Oolong is grounded by earthy beet juice, then highlighted by bright meyer lemon. Lastly, pomegranate adds an elegance without losing brilliance in taste.”
