Dry leaf: The dry leaf smelled a lot different than I expected. I has a much darker and creamier aroma than I expected. The first thing that came to mind was a really light milk oolong. The leaves are very light colored and super flat.
Wet Leaf: At first I thought that this tea smelled like a light sencha, but as I smelled more I found this very bright sweet note. If I had to compare it to something it would be like a buttered pea. It has that creaminess about it, but once you bite into it a dark, sweet, and bright flavor comes out.
Taste: When this tea first hit my tongue there was a crisp vegetal note that didn’t have the sweetness I was expecting. As I began to swallow, however, I got that sweet oolong creaminess. After I swallow this tea is my absolute favorite, because I was left with a very sweet pea flavor running down my throat. It left a refreshed feeling in my mouth and a very smooth feeling in my throat.

Sounds delicious! I have their regular DragonWell, but haven’t tried this one.
It was really nice, although totally different than I expected.
I tried Dragon Well from the Tao of Tea last year and it was a wonderful milky oolong tea if memory serves right. I enjoyed of The Tao of Tea; I was most pleased they included Dragon Well tea since it is such a fine, and exceptional tea. Organic might not be as nice, I am thinking. Good review.
