I had won a giveaway a few weeks ago on IG. I never try to enter giveaways on the account I hardly win anything. One reason the lottery goes out of my mind…I lose more than I give. Ha-ha. However, in this case, I did win a few of Teavivre’s 2024 Green Tea samples. This was the first I tried of the bunch. I meant to record and edit a video for my YT channel, but I wasn’t in the mood. I sat at a baseball game for 4 hours yesterday and have developed a bright red (burnt) face and arms.
I brewed this at 185F for 2 minutes as the packet noted. I noted, “bitter greens, astringent, spinach, nutty (walnuts?), and savory.” I attempted a second (4 minute) infusion, but the leaf hardly tasted of anything. This isn’t the most expensive Dragon Well, but it’s not cheap. If I paid for the leaf, I’d’ve been slightly disappointed in the longevity.

That’s disappointing. I remember liking Teavivre’s Superfine Dragonwell many years ago when I got it as a gift. I think it responds best to grandpa brewing.
I’ll have to try that method any time I drink Long Jing. I know it’s usually the preferred method, but I based this session on the packet.
