Taster’s Review:

I like Dragon Well tea (I didn’t always, but that’s another story), so it doesn’t surprise me that I’m enjoying this Organic Superfine Long Jing from Teavivre.  I knew I’d like it.  And I do.

But, what I didn’t expect is how much I’d like it.  This is one of the very best – if not the best – Dragon Well teas I’ve encountered.  It tastes so crisp and clean.  It tastes sweet and slightly vegetative, with buttery undertones.  Vaguely reminiscent of steamed fresh veggies – sweet, mild tasting veggies.  Like fresh lima beans with just a touch of melted butter.  Delicious and mouthwatering!

What I really like about this tea, though, is not the vegetable taste but the taste of freshly roasted chestnuts!  Because of this sweet, nutty flavor, it tastes very much like autumn to me, and is making me look forward to a time when it will be cool enough to start a fire in the fireplace and roast some chestnuts!  YUM!

Drinking this Long Jing offers a great sense of calm and satisfaction, but at the same time, I can feel it rejuvenate me.  I feel invigorated as I drink it – but not so invigorated that I am bouncing off the walls.  It leaves me feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Another exceptional tea from a company that seems to offer nothing but exceptional teas – Teavivre!
