Dragonwater Gunpowder Organic Green
Tea Review
A Delicious Organic Green Tea!
Summary : This tea is exactly what you would expect
from a Organic Gunpowder Green Tea. This tea from the
Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business)
has no bitterness, has a very smooth and mellow flavor and looks exactly
what a gunpowder green tea should look like.
Review : I love green tea. Which is why I found it
odd, looking over my latest tea reviews, that I hadn't had any green
tea in over a week! I'd been sampling all sorts of chai teas, herbal
teas and some black teas. So it seemed I completely forgot about green
tea. And so, to rectify that situation, I pulled out a gunpowder green
tea sampler I purchased from the
Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business).
For those not familiar with it, gunpowder green tea are leaves that
are tightly rolled into pellets. If you are interested, follow this link

types of green tea.
Here is how the
Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business)
describes this tea : "Dragonwell (Organic) Tea. This
entirely handmade, organic, superior-grade green tea is the most famous
of China's Fifty Famous Teas. Produced in the small Chinese village of
Lung Ching (Dragon Well) west of the famous West Lake in Zhejiang province,
this tea is known for its "four uniques": its green color,
mellow taste, aroma, and beautiful shape. USDA organic."
This tea contains only one ingredient : Organic special grade
Chinese green tea leaves that are rolled into pellets.
Like other "pure" green teas, or those that do not have anything added
to them...the aroma of this tea was as expected. The tea had a weak fragrance
that smelled exactly like what a gunpowder green tea should.
Similarily, the flavor of this tea matched the aroma, being exactly
what I've come to expect from other gunpowder green teas. The flavor
was very light, very smooth and had no bitterness at all. Obviously,
being a green tea...be sure to not overbrew it otherwise you will discover
some bitterness.
Overall, this is a top-notch gunpowder green tea. Green tea purists
will simply enjoy this tea immensely. So if you enjoy quality, organic
green teas...head on over to the
Dragonwater Tea Company (now out of business)
to give this tea a try.
Recommendation : Yes. This is a excellent organic gunpowder
green tea, with no hidden nasty surprises. Green tea purists, or anyone
else or enjoys the light and subtle flavor of a green tea, will almost
certainly enjoy this tea.
