Light and gentle
This comes in a lovely container, which is fine for gifting. The lid slides up to reveal a silver bag inside, which needs to be cut open. There is an included, robust plastic clip for resealing, which works very well. The tea is dried in long, wide-ish strips of about 1/2 in length or so and these are flat. I found these easy to portion in my tea ball.
The tea comes out with a light coloring (I brew for around 2-3 mins) and very gentle, decent flavor. It claims to be organic and does give a good quality impression. I’m enjoying it.

Excellent flavor.
I’ve tried several different dragon well teas and this is the best by far. I will definitely be buying again.

good value for everyday tea
This is a mild tasting dragon well tea and I believe a good value for the money. There’s nothing bad about the taste, but I can’t say it is my favorite of the type.

Good tea.
Like the quality, taste and smell. Pricey in comparison to tea you get at the store.

Pricey and Underwhelming
While the EFOOFAN Organic Longjing Tea is definitely tasty, I found it to be a bit lacking in flavor compared to other green teas I’ve tried.
The packaging boasts about its premium quality and rich taste, but I found it to be a bit underwhelming in that regard. Additionally, I was disappointed by the quantity provided for the price. While I understand that high-quality organic teas can be pricey, I felt that this tea was particularly expensive for the amount provided.
Overall, while it is a decent tea, I’m not sure that I would purchase it again given the price and my expectations for a more flavorful and robust taste.

You get what you paid for
The tea leaf is so small, that’s about it. There’s is no taste whatsoever compared to the real green tea. Since the price is so expensive I just wanted to give it a try. Very disappointed. I did a test on my real West Lake green tea with this tea. Same amount, same temperature of water and tea leaves, also let it sit for the same amount of time. On the left of the video is my real West Lake tea, the aromatic steam comes out the cup compares their tea has no steam and not even a smell of anything green at all. After 3 minutes their tea tasted a little weak.

First dragon tea purchase
This was my first purchase of loose tea. The taste is significantly better than similar bagged tea. I initially tried for health benefits, but I like the flavor better.

Wonderful
Very good Tea
Tamara Hervera (zweryfikowany) –
Not too bad but pricy
Tea is not too bad, the flavor is a bit light for my taste, maybe it’s because of the new tender leaves. Still, it’s a bit too expensive IMO.

Just ok
A lot of the leaves were smashed. Could of just gotten a bad bag

Midtier dragonwell, but very enjoyable and would recommend
Dragonwell tea can be quite pricey, with decent varieties costing around $10 per ounce and premium brands going for as much as $60 per ounce. This dragonwell being reviewed is priced at $23 per ounce or $69 for 3oz. Extremely fresh dragonwell will have bright green dry leaves. This particular variety is not the freshest available, but the leaves are whole, and there are no stems or random parts.
In terms of taste, this dragonwell has a sweet yet salty flavor that is typical of Dragonwell. Overall, I enjoyed this tea. 3oz will be around 30 cups of tea, but it can be resteeped several times, so you’re more likely looking at 100 cups of tea with this.
Overall, I would suggest trying this elsewhere before investing in a more premium variety. For tea enthusiasts, this dragonwell is definitely worth a try or as a gift.

Fresh and genuine with Hangzhou Famous longjing tea
This review is for the genuine seller Hangzhou Famous, not the cheaper resellers. I like how Hangzhou Famous as the genuine seller, offers shipping fullfilled by FEDEX. The shipping time to receive the product was very reasonable. The packaging was as described, and packaged very well. The tea itself I am not brewing as instructed, as I am using a gaiwan; producing many great infusions using my past longjing tea brewing methods at home. The tea leaves appear very fresh purchased in May 2023, and have the typical quality characteristics one would expect. The leaves have a very nice green color, and nice aroma. The liquor color of the brewed tea is a nice golden color, one would expect. Handling the leaves out of the packaging the leaves are full, and whole. So the leaves were handled with care during processing. It’s always a joy to sit quietly, and get your longjing tea buzz! With various pandemic issues it has been sometime since I have ordered fresh longjing. And this fresh tea is sitting with me nicely. One would recommend to stick with the genuine seller, and not use the cheaper resellers in this case.

Authentic & excellent quality Chinese Longjing Tea

Real Longjing Tea
Finally got the fresh 2023 Longjing tea from Hangzhou, said produced on Apr 5, before Ming Qian. Unique Hangzhou Longjing aroma, nice flavor, clear tea color. But the tea leaf quality is not as good as last year’s version when I got in July 2022.

Good quality Long jing tea!
These are very good quality long jing tea. These are the green leaf version and are mentioned as non-GMO and vegan option. This come packaged as organic and I trust them as the tea has a very nice smell once it’s brewed. The climate pledge option also made sure that I would go for it again.
