Very good tea January 6, 2009

I have been drinking green tea for a long time...I would say this tea is pretty good within the price range. I will definitely buy some other Numi green tea.
 Good price, but not special tea October 9, 2008

I searched extensively online to find good sources of dragon well (longjing) green tea, and bought this Numi bag as well as more expensive tea from Sevencups, Teaspring, and Amazing Green Tea. This Numi tea was the least expensive of everything I bought. You get 16 OUNCES of this for the same price as 30 GRAMS (!) of Jipin grade from Amazing green tea. That's 15 times as much tea for the same price. I only wish it were as good, but the quality is far inferior. The Jipin from Amazing green tea has far more flavor, sweetness, nuttiness, and complexity. It really is amazing. I don't have a horse in this race (I'm just a green tea lover), but wanted to post my review here in case it saved someone else from buying this when it wasn't what they wanted. If you're looking for value and don't care much about flavor, this is fine. A little burnt and bitter, but drinkable. But those seeking a peak experience of what properly picked and pan-roasted green tea can be should search elsewhere.
 Not What I Expected February 26, 2008

I have many problems with this product. First, the packaging was not airtight. Who knows how long it has been sitting in the warehouse for? Second, the label said nothing about being organic, so how do I know that the description on Amazon is accurate? Third, the tea does not even taste like Longjing Tea. This leads me to believe that this is an imitation and not true Longjing. It doesn't even taste good at all. Do not buy this product!
 Excellent Green Tea January 29, 2008

This is an excellent varietal of green tea.
It is mellow with distinctive chestnut flavor.
It is a great introduction to those who are not traditional green tea drinkers, yet want to enjoy the health benefits this type of beverage provides; it lacks the strong grassy essence of gunpowder varietals that many American drinkers dislike.
Numi is the brand to stick with, in my opinion, due to their use of whole tea leaves, ethical business practices, and provided value.
Overall a premium and high quality tea with a pleasing and distinctive taste due to its unique processing of the leaves that protects from oxidation (panfry/steam).
Quality Dragonwell--Excellent Price! January 10, 2008

This is a very good dragonwell tea. One company, Company A, used to sell their dragonwell for $32 per pound. Now, they have added $20 to that price with no explanation, bringing it to $52 lb. I have purchased more than 20 pounds of it over the years. Another company, Company S, also offers a dragonwell that is close to the same price, though, in my opinion, not as good as Company A's offering. The Numi dragonwell is a great price and made me extremely skeptical. My skepticism was unfounded. This is a superior tea. The leaf is full and the liquor is light, smooth, and slightly sweet and smoky. The only difference I recognize is that Numi does not pack this in a hermetically sealed bag. This means that you should pack it on your own when it arrives. I typically vacuum seal about eight ounces immediately. Aside from that, this is a great introduction to green tea. It is not a typically cheap green tea. Many people are turned off to green because they only tried the low-quality greens. Try this and you will see green in a different way. The price of this allows you to enjoy it often for pleasure and health!
