This particular brand of the tea for a lack of a better word is a good choice, it is not the best choice but considering that the other choices available do not taste as potent and can only be steeped once and are equally expensive I'd say this is a good choice. Would I get it again. May be if I still can't source my first choice I will get this one.

Good product, though a bit expensive, its clean and feels good!

I've been drinking jiaogulan for a while now due to its health properties (it has reduced my chronic inflammation issues significantly), but I've never enjoyed the flavor—sometimes to the point that drinking it has made me feel a bit sick. This brand of jiaogulan, though, while being slightly more expensive than my previous brand (which I could get discounted through Subscribe & Save) has a much cleaner, fuller, more enjoyable flavor. I can't say I look forward to it exactly, but it is much less unpleasant.My only concern has to do with tiny, almost microscopic metallic-looking particles that I sometimes see in the bottom of my cup. I ran into that with my last brand (Majestic Herbs), which is part of why I was looking to switch, but I found that they are still present with this brand, though in much lower quantities. It makes me wonder if it's somehow contaminated with some sort of metal, or if part of the plant is just very, very shiny. The "metal" idea has me concerned that contamination might outweigh any benefits that the jiaogulan provides. I’ve started using very fine disposable tea bags, which has eliminated the visible particles. Overall, though, it's the best I've tried so far, and I'd pick this over my previous brand for sure.
