I just died and went to tea heaven. I am sure there is such a place just for me in the afterlife, where I drink this 100% handmade Dragonwell whenever I want. The luxury of it having taken 4 hours to make not withstanding, it is the sweetest, most infinitely expanding bouquet on the palate. The leaves dance quickly to the bottom, said the tea master, because the fact is hand making makes the center core tight, where machine made ones have empty cores, and so, take a long time to float down. Handmade leaves are not perfect beauties like the machine ones, so most consumers are fooled. Not me, said I. Handmade ones are alive looking, full of vitality, not empty pretty, like models. Not a hint of bitterness even steeped for 10 minutes in my glass! That’s because of Lion Peak’s secret: it has the white sand soil unique to this region. Compared to even the partial machine Sha Qing version, which now tastes a bit sour in comparison, this handmade Dragonwell is tea heaven.
