Quality Dragon Well
This Is a high quality organic, first flush, dragon well tea. The leaves are whole and slightly toasted. Can easily get 4 to 5 infusions, possibly more. Tastes really lovely with a bit of honey or whatever your preferred sweetener is. What’s really nice about this tea if you brew it right if it’s not very tannic. Most teas I can’t drink in the morning because it upsets my stomach but this is lovely in the morning. No issues with it.
I prefer to brew at the higher temperature end at 195° which gives a stronger flavor and a darker color. Attached photo is a fourth infusion brewed at 195° for two minutes.

Taste of spring rain and soil
Longjing (Dragonwell) tea is the best of the best if one has an opportunity to do the tasting at its origin-place Hangzhou. The tea from this seller is excellent. I make one or two pots a day. This green tea is perfect for my writing hours. Thanks! Will buy again.

That is good!
Being an avid tea and coffee drinker I was excited to get a chance to try this green tea.
+ The steeping instructions are 1-2 minutes…I did 3 minutes and it came out with plenty of flavor.
I also used 2 tsp per 8oz.
+ After making a 6cup pot of this, I made a similar 6 cup pot of my previous green tea that is a lot more affordable.
The flavor here was A LOT better and smoother.
— My only disappointment is they got me excited by providing a clip, but the clip is so small you cannot clip this bag. It’s about 1/2 inch too short.
OVERALL:
It is a premium tea.
Well worth the price if you want to up your green tea enjoyment or keep it for serving to guests.

Great tea with a fair price
This is the third time I ordered the Long Jing (dragon well) tea from them, the taste and quality is much better than I expected, and better than any tea I got from elsewhere without living in the country where the tea is originated. I’ve been drinking tea for 30 years, and I’m pretty happy with it this one.
Will buy again once the new crop comes out in April.

Dcent LongJing, Tastes Good
EFOOFAN USDA Certified Organic Longjing Tea
This longjing tea is authentic Chinese flavor and tastes very good. Although it’s quite expensive but I personally found it’s actually worthy. It smells great and the flavor is fat and smooth. Highly recommend giving this a try if it’s within your budget.

West Lake Longjing Tea
The best quality of Longjing tea. Very good taste and flavor that lingers in your mouth, and is way better than the regular grade of Longjing tea in the market.

Nice and delicate green tea
This is my first time trying dragon well tea and it doesn’t disappoint me. The tea leaves were high quality and looked fresh and it was sealed nicely and had a nice smell as soon as you cut open the bag.
The tea comes in a nice and sturdy box, which is perfect for storing the tea or for giving as a gift. There is also a bonus clip to allow you to seal it tight to maintain the freshness of the leaves.
I was able to steep the leaves a few times. This was nice, as it meant that I could enjoy the tea for a longer period of time. However, I do feel that the price is a bit on the high end but I think the quality of the tea makes up for the price.

Superb Dragon Well green tea that’s flavorful, slightly sweet and citrusy, and it can be re-infused
This is a premium Dragon Well green tea that’s flavorful, slightly sweet and with hardly any bitterness. Most green teas have a vegetal flavor: a taste that reminds me a little of asparagus. Sencha green teas are like that. They also tend a bit towards astringency: featuring a slightly bitter aftertaste that requires that you prepare the tea carefully, using freshly boiled water that’s been allowed to cool to around 170-180 degrees. The usual steeping time is described as 2-3 minutes. That strikes me as too short a time for the kind of tea that I prefer (stronger and with more flavor), so I’ve learned to adapt to some bitterness in my tea.
However, as an experiment I steeped this Dragon Well tea for more than an hour and there was barely a hint of bitterness. It tasted slightly sweet with a delicate vegetal flavor and even some citrus notes. In other words, it tasted like a premium tea should taste. Yes, it’s a bit pricey but you will get what you pay for: a delicious green tea. It can even be infused twice, which should lessen the price burden a bit. I really like this Dragon Well green tea. It’s one of the best that I’ve sampled.

**Accurate, 2023 Efoofan Fresh Dragon Well Green Tea Rating & Opinion**
It is my esteemed pleasure to provide an opinion on this shipment from “Efoofan Store” online purchased Dec 15, 2023. Arriving in less than 15 full days, I was shocked to witness firsthand the quality of the shipping, speed of response and overall packaging presentation. I couldn’t be happier knowing that this is indeed of the highest quality, Longjing tea DIRECTLY from the area of qian tang in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. An overtone of nuttiness can be tasted if properly brewed and you can SEE the care placed in the materials used to ship and taste the artisan work put into the tea itself. Processed once by being machine tossed, then again by hand over heated wok, anyone with a longing for the highest possible quality Dragon Well (Dragonwell) look no further than your beloved account providing you the MOST authentic Longjing readily available in the United States from the experts directly. Life is good, and this tea is legend. I would value “what I received” at about $45.90 stateside (85g/3 oz)…making me even happier to get it at the time of writing this $36.8. WELL DONE. *VERY* well done! A blessing to Efoofan and the good people of Longjing Village, China -Nancy in Arkansas

Real green tea
Hangzhou Longjin tea has different grades (in China), this tea is probably graded low (in Chinese standards). However, I was amazed that I can even find this tea online. I bought one just to see if it is the real dragon well green tea. To my surprise, the taste, the aroma, the color is just as good as those I tried in China…Very happy with the buy.
