Great tea - my first green tea September 4, 2008
D. Heineman (Houston, TX)
I really liked this tea. Besides green tea bags from Bigelow, etc., this was my 1st loose tea like this. It is a pale color, which I like because I worry about tea staining my teeth. The taste is sweet so I do not use any sugar or sweeteners. It's had a beneficial affect on my spouse's blood pressure, which is why we tried it. I thought I would need a tea ball, but I really don't - the leaves sink to the bottom. If I ingest an occasional leaf, it has a sweet, nutty flavor.
Fine Quality, AND It's Organic! May 7, 2008
Hundun (Sacramento, CA)
they really should Promote the fact that this is an organic tea. that fact alone would attract more people to give it a shot.
i drink and serve tea every single day. only loose-leaf teas, never anything in a bag.
compare this tea with Adagio's dragonwell tea. compare it also with Peet's Tea. i believe this tea to be of slightly lower quality than Peet's. About the same as Adagio. but half the price of either. plus, it's organic!
for the best tasting pot of tea you should rinse the leaves for about 20-30 seconds first. use hot water- the same temperature that you will use for making the tea. you can steep the leaves 3 times for good, flavorful pots of tea. add about a minute to each successive steep. i tend to go with 1.5 minutes, 2.5 minutes, then 3.5 minutes. works for me.
perhaps because it's organic, its sweetness actually comes through more boldly than its characteristic nuttiness. my students love it as well and have commented consistently on how much MORE they like THIS brand to the others i have bought.
dragonwell is, by far, my favorite green tea. i've paid as much as $65/lb. in the past because i like it so much.
from now on i am very happy to buy from Special Teas. very impressive!
Upper-medium quality; Great value February 28, 2007

This longjing is a great quality--although it's not as early of a harvest or good for multiple infusions as some more expensive grades, you can't beat the great chestnut/classic longjing flavor for the price. It's got great flavor, just not the complexity held by higher grades.
If you're new to longjing, this would be a good one to try--it's not too delicate or difficult to brew (it doesn't bitter too easily), but it's also got good enough qualities that you'll start yourself off with a pretty solid standard. If you're already a longjing fan, I recommend this one for everyday drinking as a good tea for the money. Enjoy!
