I enjoyed the Jasmine tea and the white tea, which tasted like incense smells. The green tea tasted like spinach and the oolong didnt taste like much. The fermented tea tasted like cut grass. The Cardamom Ceylon black tea didnt have a strong flavor at first but with sweetener, the cardamom really pops. I had hoped that I would like tea unsweetened so that I would have a healthy beverage but it is either no strong enough, bitter, or tastes like plant. To be fair, only the cheap store brand tea has been bitter. Any suggestions for teas to try that are more on the fruity, nutty, floral, or spice side?

Oh! So dragon well is the literal translation. Long is dragon so Jing is probably well. Pretty epic name.

Yeah, I figured it'd be easier to search dragon well. It's one of the "premier" teas in China but there are a lot of other good ones. I just don't know them by specific name. The Pu'erh from Yunnan province is usually a nice woodsy/nutty flavor that I like but there's a ton of different brands
