Shelley_Lorraine drank Mrs. Li's Shi Feng Dragonwell Green Tea by Verdant Tea

523 tasting notes

It’s finally cold enough to use my heater. I love autumn! It’s supposed to warm up a bit next week, but not too much.

I completely forgot that I had this tea, a small sample from my last Verdant order. I haven’t been too impressed with dragonwell teas in the past, so I was in no hurry to try this sample when I first got it.

I’m enjoying my second cup of it now and must say that it is the best dragonwell tea that I have tried. It hints at wanting to be a japanese green, but maintains a non-astringent sort of nutty and fruity dragonwell characteristic too.

And now I’ve finished my cup and must get ready for class :)

oooh, I can almost feel your pain. I’d be eternally happy if it was 55deg and overcast every single day (unless I was in Florida, where 50 feels like 10 and the humidity freezes in my hair :p)

My Rating System

100 My happiness absolutely depends on it

95 Will definitely repurchase

85: Might repurchase (teas that depend on my mood)

75 Won’t repurchase (but I would drink it again if offered).

65: meh

45: I reluctantly finished a cup.

15: Couldn’t finish a cup.

I simplified my ratings to single numbers rather than ranges because I can’t precisely compare so many teas with a system more detailed than this.

An unrated tea is most often one that I recognize as having significant notable quality, but that does not suit me personally. Sometimes, I leave teas unrated for other reasons, such as I am undecided or I brewed it wrong, etc.

Note: Boiling temp. barely reaches 200 where I am (and a few times it sticks at 195, I assume due to unexplainable shifts in altitude or the position of the moon. . .aliens?. . .).
