It’s St. Patrick’s Day. I need green tea. The leaves of this tea are very green. So why not? I’m having another go of the Dragonwell this morning.
Last time I had it I found the tea was very weak. So this time I used double the leaf (probably 2 tbsp) and made sure to steep for a good 3 minutes. The amazing thing about Teavivre is that I still have a good pinch of leaves left over in the sample so I can brew up one last straight cup.
So, this attempt turned out much better than my previous one: lovely light amber liquor, stronger taste, with nice vegetal notes and little astringency. However, I still don’t think Dragonwell is the green tea for me. I think I like things to be a bit sweeter. I’ll finish off the sample some time and call it a day.
