I loved this tea although I'm not usually crazy about green. It avoided the planty, health-food associations I usually make with green teas. Instead, there was a lovely, rather robust fragrance, almost floral. This is probably the one green that I will stock in my tea cupboard.

This was a very gentle green tea. Delicate aroma with a hint of toastiness; less grassiness than other dragonwells I've tried. This particular tea is extremely smooth and low in both bitterness and astringency even when I brewed it with water hotter than recommended...I also found it can be brewed much longer than Rishi recommends, resulting in a stronger cup that is still very enjoyable. The leaf is also very light and takes up much space; I think the recommendation of 1 teaspoon per cup is on the low side, I enjoyed using more leaf as well. Also, I find that the flavor of this tea tends to sink to the bottom of the cup.

My favorite dragon well that I've tried yet, although among Rishi's green teas I still prefer Jade Cloud, which surprised me in that it is considerably less expensive.

  A glowing review, describing this tea as buttery and creamy, with nutty qualities blending with grassy ones, naturally sweet, and lacking in any unpleasant bitterness or drying qualities, also describing it as savory.
