Golden Moon Tea Organic Dragon Well Longjing Green Tea - Loose Leaf, Non GMO - Travel Tin (24 Servings)

If you've read other reviews, you know this is a very mild green tea taste--which is exactly what I was looking for. I actually love silver needle white tea, but was disappointed in the quality of the last silver needle I bought, and my favorite tea shop (actual brick and mortar shop) closed, so since silver needle is so expensive, I decided to try and find a green tea for health benefits that had a similar taste. I like black tea, I like white tea, but I do not generally like green tea, as it tastes too bitter to me (even brewing as directed). First, these leaves look really green, not all dried and brown like a lot of green tea I've seen. When brewed as directed (not boiling water but 180 degree water, for 2-3 minutes), it gives a very light white tea flavor. I had hoped to find a green tea just like this, but wasn't holding out much hope (especially given how questionable Amazon has become in terms of genuine products), so I am beyond thrilled with this tea. In terms of people commenting on the price--if handled correctly, you can use green and white tea leaves for multiple steeps, so a container should last a long time (when done this way).

While I cannot substantiate any claims that have been made about this product, I tend to believe it is a more natural and less contaminated product based on my lack of reaction to it. I have an incredible sensitivity to caffeine. Coffee, green tea, and energy drinks can just mess me up. I can have a headache and nausea or just feel icky. I am the only person I know who will want to go straight to bed from drinking too much caffeine from a headache and upset stomach. i need some stimulant in my life so I was told to switch to espresso (it is less acidic than drip) and to try white tea with less tannin. These seemed to work but not consistently until I began to piece together that it may be a common pesticide or other treatment chemical that causes my reaction. Certain brands and certain products make me feel fine. It can be very specific, like I reacted to one style but not the other style from the same company (but perhaps the different roasts and bean cultivars are grown slightly differently with slightly different practices and slightly different conditions). This particular green tea has yet to cause any discomfort or adverse effects even when consumed on an empty stomach. And the taste is the same pleasant, slightly nutty flavor I have come to expect from Dragonwell.

This dragon well tea has a great nutty flavor and a wonderful sweetness. which makes it quite refreshing. The tea does not get bitter easily; however, I would not brew it past 2 mins and 15 seconds. I measure my tea with a plastic spoon (the kind you might use on while on a picnic) and have found that two level spoonfuls to be the perfect amount for an 8 ounce cup of tea.

I have gotten into teas recently so my experience with tea is mostly buying cheap teas from super markets without getting a pleasant taste or smell from my tea. I love drinking tea without any added properties such as honey, lemon, or sugar.I simply love the raw taste that tea provides, and the smell. However, the teas that I have boughts at super markets weren't great and mostly due to the region I live in so I am limited only to little choices.I decided to choose this tea because dragon well was mentioned on a top ten list of chinese teas or as currently known as Longjing.Keep in mind that most teas have their own grade value in the quality of tea as we all probably know or would know discretely.I researched a long time before making a purchase, learning about different tea qualities. Taking the time to buy a few cases of tea to decide the ones that are best in quality for me this is one of them that I have enjoyed and will be using and buying again.It's aroma is quite vivid if you are into tea smells and the taste as a sweet taste to it that leaves an intrinsic after taste that's both nostalgic and soothing.

This is definitely the lowest grade of Dragon Well tea. It is tasteless.... not mild but TASTELESS. I have had Dragon Well Tea in China during one of my trips ... Dragon Well has a distinct taste and truly deserve the title of best chinese tea. This Dragon Well Tea should not be market as Dragon Well .... because it is not.

Very nice tea. Wish they sold it in bulk so I could refill the can instead of buying a new one each time.

Dragon Well is a good loose-leaf green tea. The steep time is a bit longer than for black teas. This is a nice drinkable tea. Put it on a subscription and get a discount.

Not the best green tea. I like that it's organic of course, loose leaf, it was fresh, smelled fine, color was fine. But it just has an underwhelming, flat taste compared to say my favorite organic Sencha. I do like the black tea + vanilla bean and oolong tea from this brand, so I gave 3 stars because the brand is good. Just this tea is not great.
