Again with the sourness. I guess my theory was wrong shrugs
This was ok. A little too vegetal for me. I had a busy day at work and ended up forgetting about the second steep of this…
The teaopia version is much toastier, and less nausea causing. Meh. I’m biased, being a lover of toastedness so I’ll not rate this one now!
Well I am off to Florida for two weeks. See y’all in 2012!! and Merry Christmas everyone!!! (Or Hannukah/Kwanzaa/whatever you celebrate!!)

Safe Travels! Enjoy the warm weather!
Have fun!
thanks Ellyn and LiberTeas!xx
…and Happy Festivus!!! :) Have a safe trip!
First steep does not count with Dragon well. First steep is never ever the best. That being said, never tried this blend or even this blender so no idea if it´s a good dragonwell tea, but just ya know defending it a bit, because first steep is well, not good with dragonwell teas ( the 2nd, oh yeah, 3rd and 4th yes, and I usually just keep adding water till it´s no longer awesome)
Oh I agree Cteresa!! I need to buy a gaiwan and try it at home that way.
David’s tea tends to have great tea, but I’ve noticed that their straight blends are not quite what I expect :)
Hehe yes, Happy Festivus to you as well Stephanie!! x
Sometimes green tea makers me nauseated too. I’ve learned that making it weaker usually helps….
Happy holidays!!! I agree, green tea if steeped to long or too vegetal is bitter and makes me nauseous. I almost always prefer green tea cold, its very refreshing.
Oooh! Where in Florida are you going? I live here, so it isn’t nearly as exotic (warm Christmases just aren’t right, let me tell you). I hope you have a wonderful time here!
Have fun in Florida! I used to live in Orlando.
I do not bother with a gaiwan, just my normal little teapot, and seriosly decent-ish dragonwell, just put lots of leaves, just a smidgeon more than you think is right, and not too hot water. First steep is bah, whatever, the next ones just keep the hot water in for as long as you want – and it is sort of magic. (but yeah, I am a barbarian that I do not fuss too much with it, but dragonwell is indeed sort of magic even for barbarians like me. Though first steep sort of sucks always as compared to the rest).
Happy holidays and a great new year. may 2012 bring you many great tea cups.
Amy: yeah I’ve seen that to. I can never seem to get it right, I think I’m just too impatient with how finicky it is. More than white it seems…
Ryan: Cold? Hmmm I could use some cold tea now! too bad it takes awhile lol
Heather: Oh, cool. Thanks, it was indeed fun!!
Cteresa: It’s funny, I love the Teaopia version… but this one is less toasty. Maybe that is the difference. and I agree, first steep is always terrible! Happy New Year and many tasty pots (of tea) to you as well! :)
Haven’t commented on here in a while, but I’m back. If you pour the hot tea over a bunch of ice it cools down instantly and tastes awesome
neato! thx for the tip Ryan!!
