TIAN HU SHAN Premium White Tea Loose Leaf, Original Bai Mu Dan with a Light & Fresh Delicate Flavor, Low Caffeine, 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I am hesitant to increase demand for this tea but the tea deserves praise. We get tea direct from China in a similar tea growing area. This tea compares very favorably and equally, and what we will get when not amply supplied. Amazing quality for online!

This dragonwell green tea is very good for the price. It's very energizing compared to some of the other greens I drink daily. Water temperature is very important, I don't use fully boiled water or else it ruins the delicate flavors. I will continue to purchase and enjoy this tea!

It's pretty good, however having had this for years directly from China a few years before- it seemed off..It is the first time I buy this - the leaves are super small-as they been broken into smaller pieces- not sure I like that..However, the taste and aroma are good-with that being said, I cannot really grade it as Ive not had the one direct from China in about a year..But overall it is fairly good-smooth and good coloring when left for 5 min or more..nice and dark good aroma

Great

Fresh good tasting green tea. Happy with the purchase.

I have been drinking Dragon Well tea daily for decades so have pretty good sense from experience of what makes for quality tea and what doesn't.The only reason I am seeking new vendor/source for dragonwell is because the San Francisco business I reliably bought from for many many years has fallen on hard times and is going out of business. Not only was their tea top grade, but also shipped quickly, used quality packaging and very affordable for daily use. I usually bought 1.5 lbs. at a time.I have looked everywhere on internet for reasonably priced, quality bulk loose dragon well and didn't realize it would be so challenging, especially when returns on food items is not allowed.The ONLY reason why I bought this brand/source is because of the reviews. And it boggles my mind how so many other buyers thought their tea was great. Granted, not all bought dragonwell tea. But still!Here's list of the many reasons why this tea was SO AWFUL and WASTE OF MONEY. BTW, I used same brewing methods, same filtered water, same water temperature, same storage containers, etc.1. The most glaring issue for me is the **sharp, repulsive metal taste of the brewed tea.** I seriously question where this vendor sourced their tea in China and whether tea was grown at low elevations near the heavily polluted industrial areas of Zhejiang.It's not just that the taste is repulsive. I am concerned if the tea leaves absorbed through air/soil heavy metals known to be in this region due to the heavy pollution. Heavy metals in sufficient quantities can destroy one's health.2. The other very noticeable sign/difference to me was that, even with using same quantity of leaves for my morning brew, after 2.5-3 min. of brewing with 90 degree hot filtered water, the **brewed leaves hardly expanded!**It is my understanding from tea experts one possible reason is that leaves don't expand either because they are cheap source or leaves are old. Probably this issue also contributed to awful taste.3. Packaging is cheap and possibly another reason for metallic taste.I have always kept tea leaves in sealed containers or the zipped black pouches that my regular vendor sent them in.This tea came in box that doesn't seal and inside box flimsy cheap gold aluminum foil. Perhaps another reason why the tea tasted so metallic.I can't even drink the all the brewed tea from these leaves beyond 1-2 days. It may be coincidence but I feel sleepy after I have my 1-2 morning cups of this tea and my throat feels dry/scratchy.It was a total waste of money and I have thrown out tea, even though I have little dragonwell tea from my old stock. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Great seller. Excellent product

The size, initial scent and look of the cake looked great! I wanted to buy my first taste of Chinese Red Tea using a gift card for Amazon. I got everything for a traditional Chinese Tea Experience. However, when I initially went to break off a piece, the Cake was DENSE. I know these were packed but I practically had to hammer a piece off, and not only that the leaves all broke off into smaller flakes and pieces which already confused me since I know a cake should be packed but not flaking off ( I had researched what a good cake should be like before hand )I at first thought maybe it was just how I broke it off? Unfortunately as I did my first wash steep, and proceeded to take a good sniff test of the tea. The scent gave off a HEAVY fishy aroma. And not only that the tea was EXTREMELY dark even on the first wash.I've tried Chinese rolled and roasted tea before in actual tea houses and shops in San Francisco. And I was very surprised how dense and unpleasant the smell that came from it was. I tried doing a few more pours, swallowing what I could from the first couple steeps hoping it would taste better... But it didn't.I know how good chinese quality tea should taste and this cake was extremely flaky ( creating a DARK water quality. The picture I included is ONLY the second/third steep and I couldn't see the white bottom of the cup ), fishy scented and Bitter with a sort of odd after taste. I couldn't finish the last couple of cups I know I could have gotten from the few grams I chipped off.I knew I was taking a risk not ordering from a team shop near me or at least going in store to buy a cake I can examine myself. But the fact I spent $20+ dollars on 350 Grams that I am now reluctant to drink and NOW can't return I am just overall unsatisfied...Packaged well but horrible taste, scent and color. I know how low quality tea tastes and unfortunately even though I had high hopes for this cake with so many good reviews... Gotta say can't recommend..EDIT :Fortunately the seller did acknowledge the situation and messaged me for a refund personally which I appreciate. I might reconsider buying from them again but might just get a green tea or something else besides a cake. Poor storage or packing of a cake could lead to the dense fishy scent and taste. So overall the quality of the batch could have been bad. I appreciate the refund and have changed from 1 star to three in good spirits of the situation
