I love tea. I've tried a lot of teas, everything from bad tea to fine tea, and I also like variety often switching between black, green, oolong, and puh-erh. And for all the green teas I've tried Dragonwell is a relatively new addition to my collection and so I've ordered a number of different brands to identify which is best. There are several brands sold on Amazon that are good, like Davidson's and Solstice Tea Traders, but I would argue this one is the best I've tried yet.
The first time I tried Dragonwell tea, it was in a tea sampler, and I had no idea what awaited me. It has a mild sweetness with a smooth, toasty flavor with nutty undertones. It's a clean, balanced, and satisfying green tea.
Unlike other green teas, the leaves are rolled flat and they don't seem to swell up when steeped. I heap my infuser basket full of leaves, to the top, and re-steep it all day long. It's somewhat forgiving, but will begin to bitter if steeped too long and weak if not steeped long enough. I find steeping until it develops a slight cloudiness makes for the ideal cup. If you like a good gunpowder green, you'll probably find this an enjoyable variety.
