WTF HOW CAN A TEA BE THIS GOOD
I bought this because I wanted to taste what a “real” dragonwell was like – I feel like many generic tea companies sell low quality versions of this or ones from old seasons.. or maybe not even real dragonwell at all.
This was beyond what I expect from green tea – there was so much fruitiness.. I picked up most on apple!!
Very highly recommended

I got Batrachoid’s package today!! I was so excited to try everything =)
It sounds like this tea is a shincha (first harvest sencha). It’s AMAZING. Somehow, “gold” is a good description of it. It’s not steamy or vegetal like most sencha, but rather somewhat nutty and roasted. Great taste, I really like it.
I like Tao of Tea’s new site by the way!

Profile

Bio

My favorite teas are high mountain, Wuyi, and dancong oolongs. I also need my deep steamed sencha every now and then. I’m not totally into flavoreds but I’m always up for interesting flavors (like ATR’s Nirvana and Toasted Fig). My favorite natural flavors are roasted and floral.

I have a BA in Biochemistry from Smith College with a minor in Japanese
Currently attending KGI (Keck Graduate Institute) for a Master of Bioscience

I love J-R&B and J-Urban and used to do a radio show on WOZQ Northampton, MA
I play both WoW (Airine on Executus) and LoL (Airine)

Location

Upland, CA / Rockville, MD
