Dragonwell is distinguished by its beautiful shape, emerald colour, scented smell and tending sweet floral character. Full bodied tending astringent (brisk) with a slight heady bouquet. Full green tea flavor.

Steeping Time: 2 minutes
The aroma of the dry leaves is peppery, grassy green, and sweet.
The infusion is pale green with a sharp green aroma, a toasty bold green taste, and a light velvet finish.
A two minute steeping produced an appealing bold green flavor with mild astringency. I believe the steeping time could be increased for stronger results without fear of the tea becoming bitter.
This was tea was provided as part of a workshop.
