Dragonwell was one of my first loose-leaf teas, and an early favorite green, though finding a good one has been difficult, lately. (I don’t know if the quality that Peet’s is releasing has gone down, or if I picked up a stale tin of leaves in-store…)
Teavana’s Dragonwell, I’m pleased to say, is more like the kind I first tried a decade or so ago: strong, vegetal, nutty; tastes like it might do well chilled, too, but I had it hot today. My preference is boiling water to bring out a strong flavor; the recommended 175 F left it tasting kind of bland.
