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)

A green tea with a delicate and mild flavor. A large pack, great value for money. Will buy again.

Great flavor, and large pieces make this a real standout. You can smell the freshness when you open the pouch and taste it in your cup.Definitely recommended!If you enjoy a great cup of green tea, this will get you there!

Got this to try as a beginner gongfu tea drinker. It's an okay tea but has a fishy aroma and slight fishy taste. If you wanted to try something authentic with a great price, check out Yunnan Sourcing. They make sample boxes and have lots of fun teas like tea Oranges. Probably won't pick this one up again, but it was okay for a first teaUPDATE: Seller refunded my money and I ordered a second cake. Glad I did, no fishy smell or taste in the second cake. Taste was good and I would buy this again. It's my daily drinker, great tea energy. When I dont want to fuss with trying something new, this is a comfortable and delightful tea. High compression, so only a little is needed! There are still stems in this tea cake, but for the price I dont expect perfection. Good tea cake, will buy again when I am running low.

I normally buy my puer tea from small specialty tea sellers. The tea market is ripe with nonsense...bad tea, fake tea, poor tea marketed as quality tea and sold to unsuspecting buyers, etc.I've had quite of bit of puer tea over the last 8 years. Some of it pretty bad and some of it quite good. For the price, this puer tea is quite good. The cake doesn't have any bad odors, it brews up strong and dark (5 second rinse, then 30s, 60s, 90s steepings). It's got the typical earthiness of a ripe puer and has a nice lingering sweetness. After the 3rd steeping, it still brews up in decreasing darkness and most of the flavor has faded, but that's par for the course of a tea of this price. I've had more expensive teas fade out more quickly than this one.My only hesitation is, most likely, you can't trust any of the printing on the label. So we know nothing about the tea's actual origins or the condition of the plantations (heavy chemical spraying or not) or anything like that. Without lab testing, it's hard to say what the actual underlying quality is of this tea. But it does taste good.The cellophane-wrapped box it's shipped in looks like it's being marketed towards Western tourists or Westerners shopping in Western Asian markets. So it doesn't have that boutique higher-end feel of quality tea, but that doesn't mean the tea inside is crap. Did I mention it tastes pretty good?I probably won't buy this again because I've gotten spoiled on higher end tea, but I'm glad to have found a decent tea on Amazon (which I can't say for the other puer I ordered that smells like perfumed cleaning chemicals).

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!

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!

Tastes good and should last a while. Has a more mellow flavor than normal black tea.
