I picked this up the other day when hearing about the sales sucked me into the DavidsTea store.
Reading *Incendiare*’s note made me think this might be the perfect thing to accompany my sesame chicken http://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/08/easy-sesame-chicken/.
This dragonwell isn’t nearly as buttery as the one I’ve had from Butiki. The flavour is quite floral, and it’s a little astringent. Umm. And now I’m thinking that maybe I didn’t clean my steeper well enough after I last used it. I wasn’t expecting this tea to taste like this!
I like this tea (even if I did accidentally contaminate it), especially with the Asian flavours in the food I’m eating. I wouldn’t necessarily keep it stocked, but I think dragonwells are up there in the ranks of green teas that I like.

As far as the sesame chicken goes, you don’t need to coat the chicken in egg. I think that just seasoning it and sprinkling a little corn starch on it, then frying it hot would work just fine. Once you add the sauce, the crunch goes away a bit…
Oh yeah, I can see this tea going well with something like that rather than just drinking it alone. That sesame chicken recipe looks awesome. And now THAT has me thinking of H&S’s Tokyo. Mmm, green tea and sesame seeds.
