Reviews

★★★★☆

I liked this quite a lot. A very flavorful, fragrant green tea.

★★★★★

My favorite to date of the green teas. i sometimes mix with a couple chunks of rough sugar. Very mild and relaxing afternoon tea.

★★★☆☆

this dragonwell has a nice nutty flavor to it, but is a bit too vegetal for my tastes

★★★★★

Fantastic green! Takes a fair bit of trial and error to brew it just right, but once you do you'll be hooked.

★★★★★

Has a pretty strong grassy flavor, and sometimes that is exactly what I want.

★★★★★

After trying all the green teas in the green sampler, dragonwell is my favorite. It has become the standard by which I judge all other green teas.

★★★★★

I loved this tea--it steeps to a beautiful and mild gold color and has a very gentle, but pronounced, green tea flavor. It's very forgiving to oversteeping, too.

★★★★★

First rate tea! High quality and enjoyable hot or iced.

★★★★☆

A solid green. Nothing jumped out at me distinct, but it was an enjoyable tea to drink.

★★★★★

This is an excellent afternoon pick me up. It has a nice smooth taste.

★★★☆☆

Not to my taste, I it's kind of a weaker tea I think.

★★★☆☆

Okay. Has a bit of a soapy flavor. My husband likes it.

★★★★☆

nice sweet flavor, a good dragonwell from adagio. would reccomend it

★★★★☆

Typical tasting Dragonwell, but can't complain as Dragonwell is my favorite green tea.

★★★★☆

Good, rich green tea. No grassy or earthy undertones.

★★★★☆

Dragonwell is a great tea. I'm never disappointed with it.

★★★★☆

This is my first green tea and I guess I'm just not a fan.

★★★★☆

This tea provides a fresh green flavor when brewed up, very pleasant and not overwhelming.

★★★★☆

very good. probably my favorite green tea from adagio but I'm not sure it is twice as good as white monkey which costs a lot less and is similar tasting.

★★★★★

I love this green tea. It taste kind of like the tea I get at the sushi bar, yet higher quality. It's expensive, but I can see why.

★★☆☆☆

We had high expectations for the dragonwell as we were willing to pay top dollar. The dragonwell was dry and brittle, had a weak scent, and was overall not very good. Kind of dissapointing after enjoying some of the other adagio teas.

★★★★★

I was very pleased with this smooth, balanced tea. I've stopped drinking coffee in the afternoon and have started drinking this tea for a lighter, milder, mid-afternoon pick-me-up. I'm not a big green tea fan, but I do love this tea.

★★★★★

The quality is very good. It's a pleasant grassy type green tea with a mellow flavor. It's my favorite of the 'fresher' green teas. Gunpowder green is still my green tea favorite though. I would reorder occasionally for something different.

★★☆☆☆

Way too strong for me. I do not add sugar or milk to my drink. I would have had to pour sugar into this cup to drink it. Glad I only order in sample size.

★★★★☆

Hubby loves this, but it's a little pricey for us so unfortunately we won't be getting it this time around.

★★★★☆

Pretty good compared to other green teas. I tend to brew my teas a bit longer and it stay came out pretty clean and smooth.

★★★★☆

The leaves are very interesting looking - almost flat! This is a wonderful everyday green tea. Pleasant and not too astringent.

★★★★★

Robust and full flavor. Good tea. One of my favorites.

★★★★☆

Adagio's dragonwell is a good introduction to green tea. It would also make a good every day tea.

★★★★★

Strong taste - not too grassy. Enjoyed the taste a lot.

★★★★★

This is a good, solid drink-anytime tea. The only caveat is that ike most green tea, it appears to be particularly sensitive to the quality of the water used and to steeping time.

★★★★★

Light with some grassiness and a slightly fruity finish.

★★★★★

I honestly didn't think I liked green tea, then someone asked me to try this. Give it a chance, you won't regret it.

★★★★☆

Pros: this is a nice blend that wakes me up in the morning. Cons: drinking this failed to turn me into a dragon.

★★★★☆

I like this tea. Plan on ordering more, but it's hard for me to pass up the Gumpowder green!

★★★★☆

A perfect daily green tea, well balanced and tasty.

★★★★★

This tea is heavenly. I've spent many stressed days thinking about how nice it will be to come home to a cup of this. As someone who has never experienced fresh loose-leaf (re: non-grocery store) green tea, this is simply exquisite. It brews weakly at the recommended serving (1t per 8oz); doubling the quanity works wonderfully.

★★★★☆

I'm a huge gyokuro fan, but that habit can get a little expensive. I tried this tea looking for something that would make a good substitute. It worked! It's different, but now I not only like it as a substitute, I like it for itself. Dragonwell was a nice surprise.

★★★☆☆

Too grassy...not for me. But if I liked greens more it would probably be excellent.

★★★★☆

Very nice, medium body tea. I found it to be high in caffeine and I'm a coffee drinker too. With 2 infusions, I was zooming. It has a mild aftertaste which I didn't expect, but I will order this tea again since I love the aroma and initial zing of this Dragonwell. Perfect Chinese tea for beginners. Don't steep too long and watch the temp on this one - it's finicky.

★★★☆☆

Didn't seem as strong as some other batches of dragonwell Ive received. Is okay for the beginner tea drinker. As a rule, dragonwell is a very very good tea from China- one of my faves.

★★★★☆

This is a relatively good green tea, though not quite a favorite. I would order it again for variety.

★★★★☆

this tea is extremely sublime with grassy and nutty hints.

★★★★☆

This is a solid green tea that I enjoy both hot and cold. A light green tea that still has substance to it. I will most likely purchase again.

★★★☆☆

This is a full bodied green tea with a strong spinach flavor and a unique aftertaste that can be off putting. I give this tea a 6.5 out of a possible 10. Not bad, but not worth the money in my opinion. I doubt I will purchase this tea again.

★★★★★

Very Delicous! i always look forward to having a cup of dragonwell before i go to school.

★★★★☆

A nice light green. Had a touch of a grassy taste, but I liked it.

★★★★★

I love love love this tea - although I quickly learned to only use a tiny pinch.

★★★★☆

i prefer the gyokuro to this, but this is still a very nice green tea
