My first dragonwell - i was a bit suprised by the very nutty character of this tea. Go with the Pi Lo Chun for a less-intensely flavored green if you're a beginner.
One of China's most famous teas, from Hangzhou in Zhejiang province. Distinctive flattened leaf shape gives the tea an inviting, toasty aroma. Sweet rounded flavor, like freshly roasted white corn. Nutty, buttery texture, pleasantly dry finish.

I'm not too experienced with green tea, but after a couple cups I've come to love this!
Solid Chinese green tea that's great in the afternoon. Not bitter or astringent.
This tea was very enjoyable. It is pretty standard as far as greens go, though. It is good both hot and cold.
This is a very good quality tea but I just didn't enjoy the taste.
This is a very good green tea at a good price. Not as much of a green flavor as sencha but stll good.
I really enjoyed this dragonwell tea. Very nice flavor. I intend on buying it again.
It tastes ok. Kind of weak flavored, but still good. Nothing like commercial green tea.
All the expected green tea flavors are here. It is grassy but not overly so.
My husband loves this one it is great hot or chilled. One of the best green teas we have had so far.
Nice vegetal flavor that isn't too strong. I enjoyed it very much.
Probably because of my personal preference for oolong or white teas, this was not a favorite. I didn't dislike it, but prefer ti kuan yin or White Peony.
Very good ... light and delicate. Would buy again ...
Great tasting tea. Very soothing. will defenitly get again.
Great delicate green tea. I'd recommend this one.
For me, enjoying a cup of tea starts with the smell of the leaves. If that doesn't appeal, chances are the taste won't, either. That was the case here. I didn't care for the smell of the leaves, and the tea sort of lived up to that preconception.
This is my everyday green tea - delicious at a reasonable price. Very nice and simple taste.
Very nice green tea. Not subtle, strong 'green' notes.
I loved this one. A great tea with a mild flavor. I will order this one again.
This is a great tasting green tea. Like sensha, but less sweet.
This green tea is good, but not great. I like it but don't love it. I'd recommend the white monkey instead.
an INCREDIBLY flavorful green tea! be careful not to seep it too long, when seeped for no longer than 3 minutes the flavor is perfect, it tastes very cleansing and pure.
Hmmm...is this plain, basic green tea? Good green tea flavor, but brews up a bit light for my taste.
One of the best green teas I have tasted. Very mild and soothing. I love it.
looked good, smelled good, but once brewed, where did it go? not enough flavor for a green tea i thought. whth a name like DRAGONWELL i thought it would be a stronger tea than that. still, i do like mild tea, and might get more for those time im in the mood for a good mild tea, but still verry expensive.
Very leafy, but a quality green none the less. Excellent while sitting down and enjoying a nice book on psychology.
A favorite of mine. Very smooth and pleasant. I have tried many tea varieties but this is one of my staples.
I really enjoyed this tea. It's very perfect. It is smooth and flavorful and very very good.
Strong flavor, slightly grassy. It reminds me of sencha, but i do prefer the dragonwell.
Excellent green tea. I enjoy trying different kinds, but this is one of the few that I have actually reordered.
Im not a big fan of the green, but I had to try it from all the rave reviews. I will pass this along to my friend who is a green tea drinker.
This is my favorite tea of all time. I drink it everyday. It's not a wimpy little green tea. Dragon Well is strong yet subtle. Great for any occasion and is even good when iced. I've had many different versions from different dealers and this one is the best. Buy with confidence!
An excellent green tea, probably my favorite so far. Produces a nice light cup that's great to enjoy in the afternoon.
My nice Chinese green tea which has a nice light and somewhat sweet taste to it when brewed lightly.
This is one of the best teas that I have ever had. The taste is strong compared to other green teas, but it is not an overpowering taste. I found the leaves to be of good quality, and the taste exactly how I wanted.
Great everyday green tea! Beware though, it is very unforgiving in brew time, so make sure to use 180 degree water and steep it for about 3.5 minutes.This will give you a perfect, slightly nutty brew!
I liked the dragonwell tea. It has a nice medium bodied flavor, maybe slightly astringent. Overall pretty smooth though.
Green tea often tastes very mild, but this one is on the strong side. Nice golden colour.
This tea would be a wonderful selection to try. I definately liked mixing teas with this one.
A great green tea that brews up quite subtle. Not too grassy.
This tea is very good, but it is also subtle. It took me a few cups to really start appreciating the flavor. I use about 1.5 teaspoons of leaves, and it makes a very light and slightly sweet cup of tea. Quite tasty.
This brews up into a pale tea, with a mild flavor. I overbrewed part of the first pot (my own bad habit) and it did get slightly bitter, but I like my tea with some personality so that was okay by me. I swear there's a subtle nuttiness to this tea.
I think this is a very good basic green tea. It is definitely better than other dragonwells I have had. It makes a decent iced tea too.
A tremendous tea. It brewed up a nice fragrant cup with a luminous brew. Flavorful, without too much grass.
A nice full bodied, malty flavored tea. I prefer this over the more grassy Japanese green teas.
This is so good after dinner. I liked the second infusion better than the first . . . and the first was exceptionally good.
this is one of those gentle-boost teas where you don't feel buzzed with caffeine but more feel lightly energized. couple that with the light, crisp taste and you have one great cup of tea.
Good color and flavor. I was surprised at how easy it was to order everything.
My favorite green tea. A hint of sweentess, very very smooth. I like to have it every day.
A classic that you can never have too much of. I love the green green taste of this one.
