I had just the same experience with Adagio's Dragon Well - stale,
undrinkable tea! It's a shame if people get this and think that this
is all there is to this famous tea.

If you like Dragon Well, you should also consider trying Teaspring's
and TeaHub's versions. I believe this years crop will come in about a
months time. Treat yourself a real, fresh Shifeng Dragon Well. It's
well worth the $$$ (or in my case KrKrKr).
