FullChea - Longjing Tea - Dragonwell Tea - Chinese Green Tea Loose Leaf - First Grade - Natural Lung Ching Dragon Well - 8oz / 226g

I have been using another brand of the same type of tea, (dragon well, long king) for quite some time - and have been quite happy. This time it was out of stock and was going to be a couple weeks before I got it. So I ordered this brand because it would be here in one day. I was so delighted and happy when I opened the package. I’ve just gotten used to with the other brand the broken and small tiny pieces that float through the ceramic teacup, infuser, and makes my morning tea full of tiny tea leaf floaters. This brand I noticed immediately upon opening the package, was a lighter, brighter, green - and the leaves were full. No broken little parts. As you can see in the pictures after they have soaked they open up into full leaves. This brand has a much lighter and more delicate flavor, which I think I like. Though I can see where a little bit of aging gives the tea deeper depth of flavor. This is a great choice for anyone that’s looking for a light and bright cuppa tea for the morning, that has a ton of health benefits built right in.

The tea leaves look green and fresh and smell very nice (characteristic of smell of beans). The first steep tastes rather like some very good Dragon Well tea leaves I got from China years ago (Grade B as Grade A is the best per that farm). The second steep doesn't have very strong taste but you know what, just steep 3 gram of tea leaves and only drink the first steep so you are always drinking the best.It's a little surprising that it also has some taste of Japanese green tea if you steep at a lower temperature (I used 170F), which is actually welcomed since it has some healthy nutrient that way (just forgot the name of it).In addition, the price is very nice for this grade of tea. I used to pay double the price from another vendor (who also provides for Whole Foods in some stores) for nearly half the grade of this one.

The tea was very light did not had the taste I expected. This one was on the bad site definitely we are know the product made from China have bad quality control.

I fell in love with Longjing 25 years ago. I've been lucky enough to taste at least 50, from tea farms to independent tea stores that purchase direct from the source. Price can fluctuate and while not always an indicator of quality, you generally get what you pay for. Every now and then you get lucky and find the real deal at an affordable price. This is ONE example. The fuzzy down on the inside of the package is an indicator, depth of green color another, nice full leaf on each stem after brewing is proof of careful harvesting and roasting. But brewing and tasting are everything. Wonderful aroma of fresh flowers and warm bread. The flavor a combination of chestnut, spring beans, and a mild sweetness The mouthfeel, buttery! Grab this gem while it lasts.

The Dragon Well from this seller has a good quality at its price. I have bought it from this seller multiple times. It is a good tea for everyday's joy.

Using a tea scoop of around 3/4 tbl, and 10-12oz. water, I can get a nice first brew. However, a second brewing comes out flavorless. This is in comparison with Dragonwell from Rishi, which costs twice as much, but can yield a second brewing that's like half the flavor of the first

I have been spoiled by ordering green tea directly from China in the past, and I know "good stuff" when I see & touch the leaves, and then make the tea.I was thinking that I probably wasn't going to get quite the quality I had been used to via Amazon, but I wanted whole tea leaves, and not pieces or gunpower-type. And I needed the tea sooner rather than later (when I get tea via my normal source, it can take up to a month to get the order).When I opened the package of tea leaves, I was delighted by the quality I received. The tea leaves were whole (not broken) and smelled "fresh" (i.e., not stale or without scent). The leaves are crisp and can easily be crushed by hand when still dry. The magic comes when the tea leaves are introduced to the water.When pouring the hot water over the tea leaves, they expand and release their goodness. The information that came along with the leaves state that they should only be steeped for 3 or 4 minutes, but they can aso be re-used up to 3 times. (However, I have not tried re-using the leaves.)The flavor is light and refreshing, just as I had hoped. I am quite pleased with my purchase, and I plan to buy again when I start to run low on my current package.

This is my favorite tea and I even purchased it in China when visiting.It is difficult to get good Dragonwell at an affordable price. this tea surprised me. The leaf quality is firs grade and the color vibrant green (the way it should look). It has the typical nutty notes and excels in freshness. HIghly recommend it!
