While not a fan of the bagged teas in general, this one is not too bad. What makes it even better is that now Starbucks has converted their tea inventory into whole leaf varieties of the same tea.
The whole leaf version of this tea is pretty good, and since there is a starbucks on every corner, it's a good choice when theres nothing else around.
I've found that a shorter steep time is better with this tea, 2 - 2.5 minutes, particularly if you get it from Starbucks as they only have one water temperature... Very hot.
Has a good flavor and nice aroma, the closest I've found to a dragonwell in bagged tea. Be careful not to over steep it though as it tends to get bitter fast.
