Got this as a sample from Zen Teas today, and it’s very good!
Dry leaf: Broad and flat with a yellow-green color typical of dragonwell. Bold, grassy, slightly salty smell.
Steep: Nice mellow green-yellow color, does not seem to get bitter if steeped for too long
Taste: Has a mild, nutty flavor with a slightly mineral background. Creamy mouthfeel. Very fresh and smooth tasting!
Reminds me of: Subtropical forest, sunny days
Tea addict since around 2011.
My favorites are pu’erhs, blacks/reds, and roasted oolongs, but I have a growing interest in good whites, and sometimes enjoy greens.
Currently trying to get an education, working a part time job, expand my ceramics/pottery skills, and trying to make the best of existential crisis.
Other than tea I love the outdoors, ceramics, guitar, and diy/building things.
I started a tea blog in February 2018, though admittedly I haven’t updated it much lately.

When I give a tea a numerical rating it’s simply meant to reflect a balance of how well I enjoyed the tea and how it compares to others of the same style. I don’t follow any universal rating criteria, and my ratings are mainly meant for my own use, to remember what I though of a tea and if I want to repurchase.
