China Special Snow Dragon Green Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 14th, 2018
A pleasant green tea with a smooth, mild flavor that tasted a lot better when brewed more strongly. Easy to drink and I'd imagine this would appeal to a broad audience, with perhaps an exception for people who think green tea is bland or weak, because this was on the milder side.
Thank you to Simpson & Vail for the ...

The flavor is lightly smoky and mossy, with some tannins. Good.

Premium Grade Dragon Well Green Tea (Long Jing) from TeaVivre
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2018
Firstly, I made this tea at 185(90 Celsius) degrees for about 3 minutes. The first steeping was very nutty and I loved the taste very much, it had a lettuce taste which I would normally dislike but in this tea it worked. later steepings were lighter in taste and less nutty. I got 3 steepings using 1.5 teaspoons of tea,...

Organic Hangzhou Tian Mu Qing Ding Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 11th, 2018
Firstly, this tea is obviously VERY high quality and I could tell that right when I opened up the sample. The aroma of the dry leaf was fairly vegetal(spinach/kale) which is not what I am looking for in a tea, but the taste was much less so, especially when brewing for 2 mins instead of the 3-5 which is recommended. Wh...

Organic Gunpowder Green Tea (Zhu Cha) from TeaVivre
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 9th, 2018
The first time I ever tried gunpowder tea, I hated it. So, I came to this tea very skeptical. I also don't like smoky flavors, so that was another potential issue. But, even with all of that working against it, I ended up loving this tea. It has a spicy note like black pepper, there's a moderately rich, buttery quality...

Organic Lung Ching (ZG60) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 31st, 2018
Not my favorite dragonwell, but a decent example of the style. Attractive leaves are nice and flat. Nuttier, rather than toastier flavor and aroma, and fairly sweet. Smooth mouthfeel. That said, when it’s time to reorder, I’ll try one of Upton’s other teas of this style instead.
It strikes me as a little e...
Sleeping Dragon from Adagio Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China40 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
Overall this was not a great tea at all. I used no sugar and steeped for just above 2 minutes at 170 degrees. Although I fiddled the temperature around with no success.
The tea smells nice and is almost fruity.
Everything comes crashing down in the flavor though. It tastes like I took old vegetable broth and poured i...

One of my favourite green teas. Doesn't go bitter (leave for less than two minutes) and it tastes so smooth and nice. It is my go to tea in Starbucks these days.

Dragon Well Tea from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 2nd, 2017
I got this box free with an order of loose Ten Ren tea. The normal price is $4 for a box of 20 tea bags.
The individual bags are sealed in plastic for freshness and the aroma is quite strong when opened. It doesn't smell like dragon well to me, though, but like cheap gunpowder or pearl green. The dry tea is chopped ...
Yunnan (Green) from De Theefabriek
Style: Green Tea – Region: Yunnan, China81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 2nd, 2017
Even before I brewed this, the colour of the leaves reminded me of Vietnamese green teas: olive green with some grey and white leaves. The aroma and the colour of the liqueur also reminded me of Vietnamese green teas.
The aroma and flavour made me think of Simon Lévelt's Yen Bai Groen and a brandless tea called Vietn...
Mao Feng from De Theefabriek
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 12th, 2017
I might still have to work out some things with brewing this tea, because this second attempt tastes very different from the first.
It has a strong vegetal aroma and very little sweetness. It reminds me a little bit of Young Hyson right now which seems strange. After all, this tea is supposed to be mild whereas Youn...
Tian Mu from De Theefabriek
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 9th, 2017
It's a lovely summer day, so I cycled the 26 kilometres to De Theefabriek again. This time I didn't even visit the tea museum (which I've already seen twice), just bought teas and drank a cup of Tian Mu in the tearoom.
I feel like they always give water at 100°C and many more leaves than I'd use myself, so I only l...
Xin Chang Long Jing Impérial from Unami
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China96 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 1st, 2017
I took the dégustation comparée (comparative tasting) of three green teas of a higher quality. This is one of the three I was served.
I got a zhong with dry leaves in it, a small cup, and a thermos of water.
This tea has an intense sweet, vegetal, almost savoury aroma that immediately struck me. It has a much str...
Yun Wu from Unami

Jul. 1st, 2017
I took the dégustation comparée (comparative tasting) of three green teas of a higher quality. This is one of the three I was served.
I got a zhong with dry leaves in it, a small cup, and a thermos of water.
It has beautiful bright green leaves and liqueur, and a bright and sweetish aroma.
First steeping: Vegeta...
Lung Ching from De Theefabriek
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 13th, 2017
I've seen Dragonwell here and there and I had the general impression that it is a pretty well-known tea with a good reputation, so i wanted to try it. (In fact, one of my proudest tea lover moments was seeing Longjing mentioned in Death's End by Liu Cixin and knowing what that is - and actually having some myself.)

Smokey Wuhuan Groen from Simon Lévelt
Style: Green Tea – Region: China58 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 12th, 2017
I don't know what it is about this tea, but I always oversteep it. The first time I ever made it, I even forgot about it for one and a half hours. When I found it, it was cold and bitter. (In my defense, it was graduation day and I was a bit distracted.)
And just now when I wanted to review it it got too strong again,...
Green Tea (Loose) from Golden Sail Brand
Style: Green Tea – Region: China48 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Jun. 9th, 2017
I wouldn't buy this again. I purchased it at the Newark, Delaware Farmer's market out of curiosity. Usually I've had better experiences with teas there, like discovering the remarkably inexpensive and high-quality Tradition brand. This was a disappointment though.
Dry leaf looks dusty silvery-green, looks a lot l...
Bi Luo Chun from AhaTee
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 9th, 2017
This tea was quite expensive and it doesn't smell all that good. Especially the used leaves smell pretty bad. I still haven't figured out how to make this, but I use relatively little leaf and don't steep it for long. The result tastes all right, though. The colour of the infusion isn't very bright, a slightly dirty ye...

Young Hyson from De Theefabriek
Style: Young Hyson – Region: China79 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 7th, 2017
It smells nice enough, but not that special. It tastes great, though. A very strong flavour. If I use too little leaf, it doesn't really have that intensity that I love about this, but if I use too much it easily gets too bitter.
It's a great everyday green tea, but I don't worry too much about running out. I like thi...
Anji Baicha from Harney and Sons
Style: Anji Bai Cha – Region: Zhejiang, China86 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 31st, 2017
I have read about Anji Baicha for years now, and this is the first time I've ever tried it. I've been very curious about it, especially since I've read that it's among the teas highest in L-theanine, but is prepared rather differently from Gyokuro, the tea I've tried that is also highest in theanine. It didn't quite ...

Pearl Gunpowder from The Tao of Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China66 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 27th, 2017
This was a simple, coolish, fresh green tea with a hint of smoke in the aroma. Gunpowder isn't my favorite style of green tea, but I do enjoy it from time to time.
The dry leaf of this smells mild but pleasant and fresh, dusty with a hint of smoke, some cool herbal notes a little like celery. After steeping I see ...
West Lake Dragon Well Tea Long Jing from Teasenz
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China89 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 25th, 2017
The dry leaves released a great roasty aroma when I opened the bag. I couldn't wait but to steep a cup of this great looking green tea in my glass gaiwan.
I cooked water and let it cool down for 2 minute. I can't really say what temperature it is, I tend to steep tea more based on my 'feeling'. And I like it that wa...
Xin Yang Mao Jian from Teasenz
Style: Mao Jian Green Tea – Region: Xinyang, Henan, China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
May. 16th, 2017
The appearance of this green tea is dark green. The dry leaves smell amazing. It’s like seaweed.
After brewing I can see that it consists mainly out of small young leaves as well as some one bud one leaf pickings.
This is a pretty strong tea. The flavour reminds me of a biluochun. It’s vegetal, seaweed-like, ...
First Flush Longjing from Teasenz
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China92 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 16th, 2017
I’ve prepared this longjing in a glass and steeped it with water around 80C. It’s more a grandpa style of brewing, but I like it this way with Longjing.
The first brew is delicious. It has the usual nutty and toasty characteristics, but not too strong. The flavour isn’t as vegetal as most green teas, which I l...
