Ysaurella drank Organic Superfine Dragon Well Long Jing Green Tea by Teavivre

408 tasting notes

I received a set of sample from Teavivre this morning, thanks so much again to Angel of Teavivre.
I never had Dragon well before but this tea is exactly the kind of green I can drink : it is a mellow green, finally it exists even if I already met one in my life, this is a rare quality with so many greens.
The texture is almost like an Oolong. Taste is quite vegetal but with nutty notes. A very light acridness at the very end of the sip but pleasant.

This is really a good surprise for me : a straight green I can drink with a lot of pleasure.

Preparation

First, please forgive me for my English and all the grammatical mistakes you’ll find in my posts.
As English isn’t my mother tongue it sometimes makes things more difficult to express cleverly and accurately what I feel.

I was mainly in black flavoured teas, green as well if not bitter.
I’m now drinking much straight teas because my palate is now developed enough to appreciate them .

My favourite brands are : Taiwan tea Crafts, Teavivre, Mariage Frères,Theodor,Butiki Teas,Dammann Frères, Betjeman & Barton.
My ratings are as follow :

100 to 95 : my darlings; always in my cupboard (or very often ! )

94 to 90 : Excellent tea

89 to 80 : very good tea, a pleasure to drink it

79 to 70: not bad even quite nice, why not having it sometimes, but well,it’s not so urgent !

69 to 50 : Meh, deceptive or just not for me – but has some qualities

49 to 30 : I just don’t appreciate it

Under 30 : is this thing supposed to be tea ?!?!?
