Nice and earthy. Be careful with steep time, as it can get bitter quick. Lower temperature for a longer time or hotter for less time, it gets the bitters fast.
Tightly rolled fuzzy buds give a soft, fruity sweetness enfolded by a rich, smoky note similar to gunpowder, but more complex and crisp.

This is easily one of my favorite green tee varieties! Soft, rounded but very flavorful. It is bonus to enjoy the tight leaf rolls unfurl on a second and third steeping.
great simple tea. i usually use it as my midday pick-me-up cup
A favorite tea that I enjoy as one of my regular flavors. Drink 2-3 cups (big ones) a day, and it is nice to have this in my tea collection.
My new favorite! Mild but aromatic with fruit and citrus highlights.
A little to strong for me - will stick to other greens.
Sleeping dragon has a great taste and is a house favorite.
Less grassy than many green teas, with a soft slightly sweet finish. Really good evening tea, works well for multiple steepings.
High quality, tasty green tea. Exactly the flavor you'd expect.
Love this tea in the morning since I don't drink coffee. It's not too strong, but has enough flavor. I steep it for about 2 minutes and add honey.
Solid green tea. Will get it if it goes on sale, not sure otherwise.
I enjoy the tea. I find it light and with a delicate taste..
This is a good green tea, I really like the subtle light flavor.
This is my runner-up green tea. I loved it from the green sampler and am coming back to buy more this time. Gunpowder eeked out a win for me, but this is a little more subtle and also great hot or cold. Yum! I like my green teas quite strong, hence the long steep time.
I really like this Green Tea. Good flavor without being bitter.
I like this better than regular gunpowder. Faint, smokey nose, more upfront 'green' flavor
I have a new favorite green tea. It's slightly smokey and more complex than gunpowder.
It has a bit of a nutty flavor. It was an interesting in a good way.
I don't care for most green teas, but this one isn't 'grassy' tasting. The flavor is mild and quite enjoyable.
I have green tea with breakfast and sleeping dragon is one of my choices.
Good for at least 2 infusions before it gets really weak.
I really liked this sample its a strong earthy green tea.
I blended sleeping dragon with gunpowder green to smooth out the taste. Nice combo drink.
Good green tea. Similar to gunpowder. Do not steep longer than 2 minutes.
It's like a softer, grassier gunpowder. I got it as a free sample and was not disappointed, will buy again.
This tea, while not bad, is definitely not one of my favorites. It has a soft, vegetal flavor, but it lacks depth to me.
This was a simple brew yet it has a nice bite afterward I like teas and coffee that are able to give satisfaction
Nice smooth flavor with an earthy finish. Watching the tea uncurl is half the wonder of this tea
I love green tea, and this is another of my favorites.
Very Mild, a little bit of sweetness at first. So far really enjoying it.
I am enjoying this tea. I've tried several green teas now, and this is probably one of my favorites. It reminds me a lot of gunpowder, but with a bit more intense flavor. Definitely worth the time to try
A very smooth green tea. I've already bought it twice and I will probably keep it around for a basic, yet high quality green tea that isn't too expensive in price point. Definitely not gunpowder green tea because this is far superior though they look similar in appearance.
I decided to try this tea, and I am so glad I did! (Currently drinking a cup as I write this!) Probably my second favorite green tea of all time! It comes rolled up like gunpowder tea (which is very satisfying to watch unfold as it steeps) but takes no time at all to steep. Very light but really tasty. Goes great with tea cookies too!
Very green, yet bold!!!
Super fresh and smells amazing!
A very smoky tea , leaves a nice aftertaste in the mouth.
Sleeping dragon is a lovely green, very smooth and not overly grassy in flavor. When I first brewed it, I thought I had made it too weak, but as the name suggests, this one hides its potency. The more I sipped at it, the fuller the flavor became, without ever being bitter.
My morning pot of tea, poured into a cup with a little soy milk. Mild but distinctive taste of slightly roasted green tea so no grassy taste at all.
This was sent to me as a free sample with my order. I'm not a large fan of green tea's, so I didn't think that it was the best. Still, it might be a good tea for someone that DOES enjoy green tea!
The sleeping dragon is delicious! - wonderful aroma and flavor is unusual...
Loved this tea! very flavorful. Will purchase again.
This was delightful. As I get older, I'm more finicky about my green teas. Nothing too grassy, too strong, to acidic. This one is nice and light, but far from tasteless. I get a nice floral note, but still with the green tea flavor. Steep for no more than 2 minutes.
I adore looking at the tiny tea leaves rolled into balls. The flavor is great. I do not need to add a single thing to enjoy a pot of sleeping dragon.
Smoky, green tea with a crisp finish. Great for purists, less approachable if you're used to other flavors.
Great stuff! Nice mellow taste, typical 'good' great tea ;)
I love my green tea! And I know the word 'dragon' has nothing to do with the flavor, but I still love it ;)
Pretty good pure tea, definitely going to reorder on the next order.
Has a very light clean taste it is definitely one of my favorite green teas.
This tea tastes like gunpowder's younger sibling. Very similar but milder and lighter.
I thi can't be a fair judge of this as I'm learning I'm not a fan of these kinds of teas. If I were, I'm sure it's great!
I was very impressed with this tea. Tasty and bright despite its characteristic smokiness.
