Unfortunately, Dragonwell is one of those teas that you need to spend a bit more on to get the right flavor. This one is lacking in complexity. While it has the nuttiness typical of Dragonwell, it is flat, and lacks the sweetness of higher quality versions. Pre-rain (雨前 – Yu Qian) teas by definition are lower in quality, as they are picked at the very end of the harvesting season after the best flushes have already been picked. As such, it is always best to go with a Ming Qian tea instead (one picked before the Qingming Festival). I would try their Ming Qian Pan’an, Shifeng, or Pan’an Supreme instead.
