I've never had Dragon Well Tea so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up enjoying it. This tea was more herby or grassy than what I'm used to, but it wasn't overbearing. I thought it was pretty smooth and it didn't leave any strange aftertastes - although it's not my favorite I would drink this tea again!

I tend to not like these high-end tea bag teas, and I tend to find them overpriced, but this one is surprisingly good. On par with some loose-leaf dragon well / lung ching that I've had, but with its own unique twist.

I found this tea to be surprisingly chamomile-like in aroma, but obviously with a caffeine kick, and without the muted bitter finish that chamomile usually brings.

Besides the strong and surprising resemblance to chamomile, there were fruity and grassy (straw- and hay-like) tones, and an interesting minty aroma that only came out in later infusions. Outstanding for multiple infusions. You can read the "full review" for the details of my brewing multiple infusions of this tea on my blog.

I really recommend trying this one if you can get a chance!
