Organic Green Dragonwell from T-Buds The Uptown Tea Lounge

Daniil drank Organic Green Dragonwell by T-Buds The Uptown Tea Lounge

Buttery, nutty, slightly bitter but instantly turns mellow with clean aftertaste. Very light yellow color of the liquor. Dragonwell is one of my all time favorite teas and this one doesn’t disappoint one bit. Company’s description fits tea’s palette perfectly.

Leaves dry and steeped are not too uniform and many of them are broken apart so it’s probably not the highest grade stuff, but it tastes good. For the price it’s certainly a great tea. Also, manager of the store was nice enough to give me a 20% discount on it too, which was very nice.

Bio

I was always a huge fan of teas but my tastes changed constantly. Lately I am on the path of discovering Chinese teas, but not limiting myself to that. I am, however, favoring straight teas at this point.

I love pu-erh, oolongs are always a treat, learning about greens is delicious, absolutely neutral towards rooibos or herbals and black is always a yes. Incidentally any combination of the above is ok in a blended tea, which I like to have time to time.

« The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island. »
