| While this pales in comparison to loose dragon well teas that I've tried, it's definitely true to the style. The low price and simple packaging of the teabags are deceptive...this tea retains a lot of complexity. It brews a rich golden color and is quite aromatic. If you let it brew a long time, it acquires some astringency but I find that pleasant. I've also find that this tea stays fresh longer than other green teas, which is surprising because the teabags are only wrapped in paper and not sealed in any way. |

| As with Foojoy's China Black Tea, I found this a surprisingly good value. The black tea was wrapped in individual paper packets, whereas the Lunching box has several aluminum sealed packets containing individual bags. This tea has a pleasant aroma and a decent flavor. It compares favorably to many other green teas sold in teabags. I've found it to keep surprisingly well. It's suitable for places where one cannot brew loose green tea. |
