I was excited to get this one in my sample box because I recently tried a different dragon well and really enjoyed it. I am happy to say that this one has lived up to my expectations.
Thanks again to Teavivre for the extremely generous sample of this tea. There’s so much in the pouch! The leaf is bright and smooth, and it smells a bit grassy and a bit nutty and a touch buttery. Steeped, that lovely chestnutty aroma comes out, which reminds me so much of chestnut sweets from a chinese bakery. The liquor is a very pale yellow, only slightly darker than the white of the mug, yet it’s still a flavorful cup. Smooth, lightly grassy, but also nutty and sweet, this tea has a lot of dimensions to it. A really really tasty cup.

I am curious, what kind of water to leaf ratio did you use?
I used about 2 tsp of leaves for 12oz of water, but I feel like I could have gone with a little more leaf.
I loved this one so much I bought it on my first order.
This is a fave of mine, too. Since it is a fluffy tea, I probably went with 1 1/2-2 tsp per cup. I have a feeling it would weigh about right at this ratio.
Thanks all, mine still seemed kind of bland and watery so I might need to use more leaf.
Anxiously awaiting my Teavivre samples now, this being one of them. :)
