Dragon Well Tea - LongWu

The aroma once infused is a earthy yet vegetal type smell.

This is pretty different from the other Dragon Wells I have tried. Many of you know I like that…when I get one that stands out!

The tastes and flavors are all across the board, really! Just when I think of it as a mellower-grassy-green with a spec of bitterness it seems to even out a little and a brothy-buttery flavor pops in to say hello for a quick second before it changes into a floral and earthy type green finally finishing to a sweet yet slightly bitter taste at the end of the sip onto the aftertaste.

This one is different but I DO like it! Interesting Cuppa!

Amazing! This is really wonderful. One of the very best Dragon Well teas I’ve tried. My full-length review of this will publish in a few hours on SororiTea Sisters ( that’s http://sororiteasisters.com for those of you who haven’t been there!) but let me say this about this tea: the leaves are beautiful, the tea brewed from them remarkably good, and I highly recommend this to anyone who has not yet tried it. YUM!

This one for me is strange. It has a very full and angular mouth-feel to it. It has a grassy green bitterness, but not one as strong as in Japanese greens. It has a odd sharp throat taste. There is something woody about it, too. The finish lasts about a medium while and is of the green bitterness.

I have to say I like it. I’ll likely give away a lot of it (I got three very generous portions from Tealet) but I do think I like it well enough to keep one of the bags for my own rare use (I’m only rarely allowed to drink anything with caffeine).

Strange but yummy.
