Spring 2024: Wow! The small leaves smell wonderful and are very nice in appearance, mostly in obvious bud/leaf sets.

First steep is very light in color and fragrant. Nice and sweet and deceptively light. I like them like this! Lots of little “hairs” from the young buds in cup, and you get that nice “green chestnut” flavor. Some florals are present, perhaps along the lines of osmanthus.

Subsequent steep at three minutes is a bit more yellow and robust.

I’m not super experienced with dragonwell teas, and certainly I am not an expert on authentic ones from the Westlake area. But I imagine a tea of similar quality to this would cost much more if it came from the region. So in that sense, I guess this tea is a pretty good deal. But it is on the pricey side.
