I find this tea so undrinkable I’m considering either throwing it in the trash or mailing it to a tea-loving friend in Canada. I don’t think it’s my source at fault. I have TeaSource teas I absolutely adore—a Darjeeling, an Assam, their Hong Mao Feng and White Peony and Big Red Robe. But I’m new to fine loose-leaf teas, and so far I find the only unflavored Green Tea I like is Hojicha, which is untypical in being roasted. For my tastes, the Dragonwell is far too vegetal. Drinking a tea that tastes like spinach was boiled in it doesn’t make me go “yummy.” I’m told some love vegetal teas. If you do, this might be one you really like. Not for me.

Very sweet, light flavor. A great Chinese green tea.

This is my daily tea. Drinking a ‘fine’ grade Lung Ching is very affordable. It has a very full, ‘roundness’ to the taste. I generally get 2 infusions from each pot.

This is one of the two teas I drink on a daily basis. I brew it at 170 degrees F for 2.5 minutes on the first brew and 5 minutes on the second.
