First Grade Tea Chinese LongJing/Dragon Well Green Tea Loose Leaf 8oz (227g)

We bought this jasmine loose leaf tea for the office and it’s been a big hit. The aroma is fresh and fragrant without being overpowering, and the flavor is smooth, clean, and very relaxing. It brews beautifully and doesn’t become bitter. It’s a great quality tea that feels a bit special for everyday office use. We’ll definitely be restocking.

I spent some time in Taiwan and fell in love with Puer (Puerh, Pu'erh) tea. When I got back to the States, it was hard to find a decent Puer with the taste that I remembered having tasted in Taiwan. After several years of looking, I stumbled on to this tea here on Amazon and tried it. Bingo! This blend is excellent. The flavor and color of this tea is simply wonderful. Not to mention the incredible aroma! Depending on how long you steep it, the strength is either light or nice and "heavy." I prepare mine in a traditional Chinese clay teapot allowing it to steep for 3 minutes for the first cup, 5 minutes for the second, and 12 for the third. You can use the leaves for more than three cups but, for me, the flavor starts to wane a little too much. As I'm letting the tea cool down before I take the first sip, I hold my cup up to my nose and just breathe in. One can almost say that this tea is an experience and has become my go-to tea. I am currently on my third bag and will continue to order it as long as it is available! And yes, I highly recommend this Puer tea.

I'm not much of a tea expert, but when I calculated the actual amount of tea that I get in tea bags, im pretty sure I'm buying more paper than tea. This is a lot of tea for the money, & I like the way it tastes. I call that a win.for me.

This is a decent starting shou pu'er for the cheap price. The tea cake was pretty easy to break pieces off of and has a nice earthy aroma. Other reviews mention a slight fishiness to the scent, which is present, but it does not reflect the taste. The color of the tea when brewed is intensely dark like coffee and after brewing smells mushroom-y in a pleasant way. I washed the first two steeps and drank the third and I feel that the taste is somewhat weak, but it is calming and uplifting nonetheless.

This is quite a decent tea. I really like it and find the aroma fresh. I must admit that you do need more of the tea leaves in order to get that jasmine flavor out of it. I appreciate the real content of it and I enjoy it daily. Recommended.

I normally buy my puer tea from small specialty tea sellers. The tea market is ripe with nonsense...bad tea, fake tea, poor tea marketed as quality tea and sold to unsuspecting buyers, etc. I've had quite of bit of puer tea over the last 8 years. Some of it pretty bad and some of it quite good. For the price, this puer tea is quite good. The cake doesn't have any bad odors, it brews up strong and dark (5 second rinse, then 30s, 60s, 90s steepings). It's got the typical earthiness of a ripe puer and has a nice lingering sweetness. After the 3rd steeping, it still brews up in decreasing darkness and most of the flavor has faded, but that's par for the course of a tea of this price. I've had more expensive teas fade out more quickly than this one. My only hesitation is, most likely, you can't trust any of the printing on the label. So we know nothing about the tea's actual origins or the condition of the plantations (heavy chemical spraying or not) or anything like that. Without lab testing, it's hard to say what the actual underlying quality is of this tea. But it does taste good. The cellophane-wrapped box it's shipped in looks like it's being marketed towards Western tourists or Westerners shopping in Western Asian markets. So it doesn't have that boutique higher-end feel of quality tea, but that doesn't mean the tea inside is crap. Did I mention it tastes pretty good? I probably won't buy this again because I've gotten spoiled on higher end tea, but I'm glad to have found a decent tea on Amazon (which I can't say for the other puer I ordered that smells like perfumed cleaning chemicals).
