This was the first tea I ordered from Teavivre. I was very pleased when I opened the package to be met with the strong grassy and sweet smell. It almost smells like a freshly mowed lawn in the spring. The leaves were of good quality, with almost none broken.
After brewing my first pot, I was pleased with the very vegetal taste and aroma. The taste has a bold vegetal taste, but lacks any bitterness. There are certainly notes of seaweed and grass.

Thank you so much for your first few reviews!
I loved this tea...I think there's a reason why it's held the #1 spot for dragon well on the site for some time. I've tried 5 of the dragon well / long jing teas from TeaVivre, and this one I think offers some of the best value. There were three ones I liked slightly better (but only slightly) and they were all quite a bit more expensive. I actually liked this even better than one of the more expensive grades.
