Tightly rolled fuzzy buds give a soft, fruity sweetness enfolded by a rich, smoky note similar to gunpowder, but more complex and crisp.

Pretty classic Green Tea. Pleasant grassy taste, very little astringency. Able to steep multiple times. Very much as described, good for every day drinking. Certainly there are fancier teas out there, but this is solid at its price point.
My friend and I like to drop in a few of the leaves into the bottom of a cup and watch them unfurl with the addition of hot water. The leaves are big enough that you can get away with not using a strainer and work well for multiple steeps
Be careful not to oversteep or use too high temperature, this can happen easily and the afternotes become too harsh.
Excellent mellow tea with a hint of smoke. Classic green tea flavor.
This is my new everyday tea. The flavor is full with a slight hint of smoke. It is delightful and very economical! 3 minutes was too long to steep. I recommend starting at 2 and definitely watch your temperature or you will have a slightly bitter after taste.
Very good basic green tea. Just the right amount of grassy.
It smells great so I really want to love it but it always comes out too bitter for me, though I may be steeping it wrong.
Reliable and full bodied.. makes a pleasant cup of tea.
nice tea very basic but good for dinners .
This green tea reminds me of the teavana tea Emperors Clouds and Mists (which I love) but better! It’s my staple green to have in the house and a little bit goes a long way.
This is one of my new favorite green teas! A bold, earthy flavor that has that traditional, vegetal, green tea flavor but isn’t overlywhelming at all
tastes good, I really enjoy getting tea at Asian restaurants and this tea and very reminiscent of those teas. It is nice during this quarantine to be able to have a cup of tea and brings back such joyous memories and eating out with friends and family. i enjoy the tea not getting bitter if you over steep it on accident.
Didn't think I would like this tea at first, however I was blown away by the flavor!
A great, mellow green tea. Mild and smooth, and not overly grassy
Perfect for Gong Fu brewing!! Many infusions worth and medium green tea base with a wonderful grassy taste
This tea is very mild. It's okay, but it doesn't really have any stand-out qualities.
It was ok just another green tea but as a green tea I did like it
This is a good green tea, but can turn bitter quickly if you oversteep it.
I was looking for a replacement to Starbucks Emperors Cloud and Mist. Started googling to see what was closest and found a few different tea brands. I really liked this one as it was most similar to the Starbucks version and I know longer have to pay $3 for a cup of tea.
i was not a fan of this one, though it could be because I'm not as big a fan of green tea as i thought I was. It was very earthy, or grassy. Not my cuppa, as it were, but it's important to try new things!
This green tea has a smooth taste. I alternate between black and green teas and so far this is one that will be a keeper.
I love this tea, drink it every day. It’s a mild green tea not grassy. I prefer it hot
I love this tea! Ever since teavana closed their stores, I've only been shopping my green team from Adagio!
Delicious!! This is our favorite green tea yet. We have reordered it twice now. Highly recommend. We tried a few in store and brought a couple home. Narrowed it down to this one as being the best.
This a simple tea, but it's still fairly enjoyable for what it is. The smokiness isn't at all brash or vegetal like gunpowder, and the fruitiness is an interesting complement to that. The tea reminds me of plums roasted over a campfire, which are delicious.
Like it a lot. A nice green tea. Good taste and color.
I've tried several green teas from Adagio and while I didn't hate them, I just didn't love them This one is the same, for me. I guess that, for green tea, I'll just by the cheap teabags at Trader Joe's; they do me just fine.
This is also a great great tea to just have a cup any time of enjoy and enjoy the great teas.
I really like this tea, it's very smooth and has a great taste.
I have not made a cup of just this tea, I have been mixing it with spearmint and sometimes cutting other tea flavors I have. I do like the flavor and it blends well with additives without taking over the flavor.
This is a decent morning green tea. It has a smooth flavor with no hints of bitterness. I originally bought a sample of this that was delicious but when I purchased the 16oz package it seems like the flavor has changed not as good as the sample. I have switched over to Japanese teas for my morning brew as they have more of an exciting flavor. This tea isn't bad but it's not exciting either.
I love this green tea. The fruity flavor is definitely the first thing I taste when I sip this. Overall, this is a well-rounded tea that isn’t bitter at all!
This tea has a vegetable-like flavor which I have not tasted before in a tea. It is an interesting flavor, but I don't know if its really for me. Of course I'll finish drinking the pack though (:
I'm glad this was a sample, it had absolutely no flavor, fruity or otherwise
I don't like the flavor very much on this one. It reminds me of steeping spinich
Sleeping Dragon is my new favorite green tea. Citrus notes and crisp, refreshing taste is the best Saturday afternoon pick-me-up.
I think this is my favorite green tea from Adagio.
Seems like your basic green tea, not bad, but doesn't excite the senses either.
Not my favorite, but it was a good tea to try. I love trying different tastes from adagio!
Great full flavored green tea with some wonderful light smokiness. Gunpowder green has been replaced by Sleeping Dragon as my favorite green tea! Soothing, not a hint of bitterness, just wonderful.
This is very strong so I do not steep it too long. I packs a wham of energy for me, but it was not a jittery energy, but still calming. I call it a wake up tea. Something to keep me on my toes. I will purchase again in the future. The taste to me is a nice green tea taste, soft strong and sweet with lots tannins.
This is my go to green tea when it is available. Love it!
Very classic green tea taste, mildly astringent but not bitter, and very pleasant. Worth keeping on hand for when you want a solid basic green tea without all the extras, and still a high quality flavor.
A really unique flavor, smokier and a little more full-bodied than most green teas.
Yummy! And smells so good! I haven't drank a lot of it yet, but, I sniff it every time I make tea
Great delicate and smooth green tea. Zero bitterness. I steeped it just under 3 min @175 degrees. Great straight refreshing tea. I’ll consider adding it to my next order.
Delicious but easy to turn bitter! Make sure not to go over the recommended temperature.
Thos is one of the better green teas I've had. I steeped it 2-3 min, 180. But I just can't really enjoy green tea. Give me herbal any day, and that lemongrass tea twice on weekends!
I guess I really only like green tea when it has a fruit flavor in it? I wanted to like this one, but it was a little too bitter and astringent for me, and just not my thing. (I tried my best not to oversteep it, but may have done anyway.)
I really enjoyed this - another very solid green tea with a pleasant smokiness.
