"Good color and aroma. I bought this tea for the vegital aroma and taste which Dragon Well teas are known for; this was awesome. The taste and aroma remind me of the freshness of a rainy field. Wonderful!" Vito DiLuminoso

"A delicate tea, with an alluring balance of sweetness and nuttiness when brewed at 160°F. Hotter water ruins it. Not as robust as other Dragonwells, but that's the beauty of this tea. It has only a hint of the asparagus-like vegetal quality of lesser Lung Chings. This is top notch tea, and the "Superfine" moniker is entirely accurate."

"Distinctively sweet, with the honeyed flavor of fresh mown hay. Very refreshing hot or cold. The beautiful leaves collect at the bottom of the cup, so if you want to go sans strainer, this is a extra delight. My top green for flavor & visuals." Ishmael Fuller

"A fragrant leaf yields a mild, flavorful cup with minimal steeping time. It really tastes like a high-quality leaf. Not as bitter as some lung-chings, but also less of the rich, nutty flavor. A good lung-ching, but not the best."
