Dragon Well Green Tea from Novus Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 7th, 2014
I have also never had Dragon Well Green Tea, but I have had several other Chinese Green teas so when I was given this tea by a friend, I just had to try it. I definitely enjoyed this tea, but I found that it seemed to lack a robustness that I personally enjoy. I think this is a tea that would be suitable to the novice ...

China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 25th, 2014
THIS tea. This may be the beginning to solving a mystery.
You see, when I lived in Japan for a year, I would make and enjoy teas just like this. I really love this flavor of green tea. It tastes and especially smells great.
*However*, after almost a year, I realized that certain green teas caused what I'm guessin...
Green Tea from Red Mansion
Style: Green Tea – Region: China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
My round green paper cylinder of this tea does not look like the one pictured, nor does the tea resemble the 1st reviewer's tea leaves.
I was given this tea by someone who was returning from the Phillipines and/or Singapore so perhaps it is packaged differently and a different source.
The leaves are not dry and a...
Green Tea from Tea King of China (Starway)
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 20th, 2014
Another cheap green tea from this company, less impressive than the others but still pleasant and drinkable. Dry leaf smells mildly like a low-quality chun mee or mid-quality gunpowder tea. The leaf looks a bit intermediate between the two; it's dusty gray-green, and has a mixture of more narrow and wider twisted pie...

Lung Ching (Lungching) Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 19th, 2014
The first inexpensive dragon well or long jing green tea that I've tried that I thought worth drinking. A relatively low grade of dragon well, but recognizable as its style, and pleasant.
Dry leaf looks quite broken, honestly doesn't look the best quality, but it has a rich and pleasing aroma. The aroma resembles ...

China Green Tea from Foojoy
Style: Green Tea – Region: China50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2013
I think the bar is set pretty low when it comes to green teas in tea bags, but this one greatly exceeds my expectations for its price.
Not very picky about brewing--I used boiling water and it tastes fine. The 3 minute steeping is just about right. I wouldn't go too much longer because there is some bitterness and...
Gunpowder Green Tea from The Tea Room
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 24th, 2013
Bought at TJ Maxx; $3 for a 3.5 ounce tin--which seems cheap for loose-leaf tea, but is actually relatively pricey for gunpowder. Dry leaf smells wonderfully fresh though: herbaceous and only faintly smoky.
Steeped for for over 4 minutes with near-boiling water. Brews up a rich golden color. No unpleasant harshne...
Young Hyson from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Young Hyson – Region: China70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 15th, 2013
The aroma of this tea is mild with notes of artichoke, citrus, and grapes. The brewed tea is more like vegetation than vegetal and the liquid is very mild with delicate vegetation notes.
The taste is nothing spectacular, it is not a bad tea but it does not make me jump for joy. Mixing mild vegetal, bitter greens, a...
Chinese Gunpowder from Infuze
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 4th, 2013
I like gunpowder tea a lot, but I find it is often a low-quality tea, often harsh and lacking complexity. This was a higher-quality example, although it still wasn't among my favorite of Chinese green teas in this price range. I found it hard to brew to satisfaction, but very good when I did.
The dry leaf of this ...

Bi Luo Chun Green Tea (Pi Lo Chun) from TeaVivre
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: Jiangsu, China93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 8th, 2013
This tea is amazing! By far the best of this variety that I have ever tried. From the moment you open the package and see the tender curls, you are greeted by a wonderful aroma that is herbaceous, nutty, lightly smoky with a hint of citrus. This aroma persists through brewing and matches the mellow flavor.
Light gre...
Green Gold from Mandala Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Anhui, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 2nd, 2013
Bright, mellow, impressive flavor and aroma. There are slight nutty hints like a good dragonwell tea, but more herbaceous notes that linger as an aftertaste.
I had been brewing this in a small gaiwan, yielding at least 4 good short steepings, but also tried it in a tea thermos, adding 175F water over the leaves sev...
Premium Tai Ping Hou Kui Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Taiping Hou Kui – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 1st, 2013
This tea is beautiful in appearance so it is not surprising that the aroma is also beautiful. It is very vegetal and slightly sweet. Once the leaves are brewed it is still very vegetal but also has a slight nuttiness.
The taste is smooth and the mouthfeel is buttery. it is vegetal and sweet with notes of sweetness ...
Liu An Gua Pian Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Lu An Melon Seed – Region: Xiuning, Anhui, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 21st, 2013
Truly a fantastic green tea, much better than any other liu an gua pian that I have tried. The dry leaves have a beautiful aroma and unfurl gently to release their emerald brew. Sweet, rich and releasing different flavors with each steeping.
I used a small glass gaiwan to brew so I could watch the leaves, and did a ...
White Monkey from Single Origin Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 18th, 2013
The aroma of this delightfully fuzzy tea is initially citrus sweet but also has notes of papery. I know, papery is an odd thing to say about a tea's aroma but to me it smells like artisan Washi and very pleasant. There are also notes of cedar and fresh greenery. Once the tea is steeped it takes on the aroma of artichok...

Organic Tender Tip Country Green (Organic Chunmee Green) from Foojoy

Oct. 18th, 2013
This was my first loose tea from Foojoy, and I was rather pleased. A good solid green that is both inexpensive and has good flavor. Although I had seen Foojoy loose teas in their tins at my local Asian market, I had never tried any since I was not ready to take a chance on about $9.50 for 8 ounces; a very good price, b...

If you are looking for a truly great Long Jing (Dragon Well) tea, then this is the one to buy. I have tried dozens over the past decade, and none could stand up to this. Sweet and fresh, light and flavorful. You can really taste the springtime in this tea, which leaves a wonderful feel in your mouth long after the liqu...

White Monkey from Little Red Cup
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 30th, 2013
The aroma of this delightfully fuzzy tea reminds me of a mix between the muscatel of darjeeling and the delicate green of a Pai Mu Dan. Once the tea is brewed it takes on more of a floral aroma which blends well the the notes that are already present.
The first steep is mild and vegetal with notes of mown hay. The ...

Style: Clouds & Mist (Yun Wu) – Region: China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Sep. 5th, 2013
I rather like this tea; it is potent and strong. It reminds me somewhat of Chun Mee yet while being a bit more refined and complex.
Dry leaf, slightly curved and with a dark green color, has a mild aroma, suggestive of sweetness, but upon brewing, the tea is much more bitter, in a pleasant, cooling way.
Brews a ...
Pi Lo Chun from TeaSource
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: China57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 28th, 2013
I picked up this tea from TeaSource a few days ago, about $6 for 4 oz I think. I'm trying to get into greens, I drink mostly oolong and pu'erh now; but I'm hopping to learn to appreciate a little simpler brew. I first heard about this variety of tea on DragonTeaHouse.biz, and was intrigued.
The dry leaves of the t...
