My son and I had this together this evening. He’s turning into quite the tea fan!
I enjoyed this one. I love the flat, dried leaves—they remind me of small feathers or dried, pressed flowers! The tea itself has a familiar, vegetal taste to it. Slightly bitter, but I think that is from steeping it longer than I should’ve. I did 4 grams for 12 oz of water and steeped for almost three minutes. I should’ve steeped for a shorter time.
The flavor is typical for other green teas I’ve had and comes through very clearly. I didn’t notice any additional flavors beyond the vegetal nature of the tea. Based on the product’s description when I bought it, I was expecting a chestnut flavor as well but didn’t find it. The liquor has a golden yellow hue. This will be a good one to have during the hot summer months coming up.
I found it refreshing and enjoyed it!

Years of the strong black stuff have burned out my taste buds so that I don’t catch all the subtleties of green and white tea that others do, but dragonwell always hits whatever green sweet spot I do have.
