Think I’m just starting to have one of those days. I want to like this tea, because I really need that salty chestnut taste. Its just not there. I can smell some complexity, but when I try and taste it, its not there. Which leads me to think that I am not brewing it right. I’ve got another packet so hopefully that is the case, and I will be writing a new review a couple days from now.
What I do taste is buttered spinach/bok choy. Thats it. I get some salty astringency…but so far this tea is not on my re-order list.
I have a feeling that I am being unfairly critical of this Dragonwell because I just had an amazing one earlier this month. I also found a rather large twig/stem in this (1 inch long). So what if I am being critical though, I’ve tasted a good Dragonwell, and now my taste buds are the wiser.
