Dry tea leaf shape – They are from plant’s tip parts, consistent, and fresh. 5. Dry tea color - It has a pretty brownish green color that confirms its freshness also the proper “dry stir fry” skills. 6. In hot water - Leafs are consistent, and are healthy and tender leafs. It release a light green color and a beautify aroma. Summary - I definitely will enjoy drinking it everyday! -- A bit more background if you want to read more -- As a programmer, I drink lots of tea everyday. I used to buy them directly from China, but logistics was a pain and quality is polarized and unpredictable. Recently, I discovered there are tea sellers on Amazon. I decided to give them a try. I set my first attempt’s budget at tea under $4/oz range. This price range is good enough for average people’s daily consumption. I also tried Cha Wu, FullChea. To my surprise, they all deserve a 5 star for tea under $4 per oz grade. I am very happy to see these sellers are serious to establish a brand in US Amazon. My best wishes to all of them. I won’t demand any improvement, I only hope for consistency! fyi, my picture of tea in hot water is just for review purpose. To properly drink this type of tea, you need to use a filter that you can take tea out after 20 second.

I am happily rewriting this reveiw! I received a new shipment of this tea. I very much like this tea. It smells light and wonderful. It is fresh and a beautiful color. It tastes sweet, mellow, rounded. It is of such good quality. I must also say I very much LOVE this company. They are respectfully hospitable and should be respected. They really care about the quality of their product! I highly respect them as they are loyal to perfect service and excellent tea! Thank you! Most Impressive! I can not express enough how very pleased I am. Thank you again (tapping) *Customers of Amazon, drink some of this tea, please❤

After tried so many different green tea, Long jing is my favorite. My friend in China gave me a bag of Long jing, it smelled so good after it is brewed. Once that is gone, I missed how it’s smell and taste. So I started the journey of finding good Long Jing. Honestly, I have been buying so many from different sellers and different stores with different price. After so many tries, this seller probably had the best quality of Long Jing tea. So I just order a higher grade one from Oriarm again and hope that I can find what my friend gave me. :)

Long jin is the most famous green tea of China and the tea given to visiting dignitaries. I used to buy long jin from Hong Kong. It was very good but very expensive. As with wine, the long jin grown in different locations has degrees of flavor. This long jin is not quite so good as what I was getting before, but it is the only long jin I will buy now because it is being sold for only a small fraction of the price I was paying, and it is still has the lovely long jin taste. Green tea is delicate and should be steeped 180° for 30-45 seconds. I have a thermostatted pot for heating the water. Just don't boil it. And for goodness sake don't steep it for three minutes! It will ruin the delicate flavor and make the taste metallic and awful.

Not the best dragonwell. All other Oriarm teas have been great. I think there was something off with this batch.

I really like the flavor of this tea. I had to wait more than a month before it finally arrived. It is well worth the wait! I was wrapped nicely. I transfered into an air tight container. I am now enjoying this tea twice a day. I have high blood pressure and so far so good.....I'm off of 2 of my medications. I have been drinking it for more than a month. Had my blood test last week and doctor was impressed! I'm very happy with my purchase! I definitely buy again from this seller.

Unlike any dragon well I've had before. Tastes spoiled. Not sure if this is just a bad batch or the standard for this brand, but I will try to return it. The brand I bought previously was twice as expensive as this but delicious. In the future I won't try to save money on something as important to my life as tea!

New tea leaves, pleasing aroma, and good color. Every day enjoyment in the morning. Love it. Same taste as it was in my Childhood in China.

Tomo té verde hace mucho tiempo; este producto es bueno y agradable

Mi piace molto il long Jing, questo rispecchia molto il mio gusto e le mie aspettative. Arrivato ben sigillato, con gli aromi tipici di questo tè. Vale la pena aspettare (circa un mese) per la consegna.

Herbata dobrej jakości jak za tą cenę - to herbata 2 klasy. Szkoda tylko, że nie ma więcej rodzajów LongJing na Amazon od tej firmy. Na stronie Oriarm jest 9 rodzajów LongJing - oczywiście w różnych cenach. Liczę, że na Amazon też kiedyś będzie większy wybór z informacją o klasie herbaty i terminie zbioru.

I am not particularly fond of green teas vs black teas but this tasty tea is mellow, almost sweet in texture. Fruity when cooler. 85oC 3 minutes, in fine china cup. I would buy again.

Je connais bien cette variété de thé, Long Qing, celui-ci n'est pas exceptionnel mais il est bon et bien conditionné.
