Reviews:
Here is what tea reviewer from www.steepster.com thinks of the Dragon Well /Lung Ching Green Tea, Grade B: "...it is very pleasant... the taste is nice and savoury-green, a little astringent, a little sweet - seems well-balanced... offers a good second infusion... this is not the highest-grade Dragonwell offered by SanTion but it's extremely drinkable and seems like good value..."
