Even though we got one in the mail a looooong time ago, we still have yet to review a Dragonwell /t/. And, well... Duke is said to be back in the very near future after being released from JFK's detention center. Apparently he and about 90 other passengers were stranded on a plane and so he started a kid-fighting ring to help entertain the passengers. Think this, but with 2 year olds and parents screaming at them like they were losing a game of tee-ball. According to Queens PD, what Duke did was illegal and, while he continued to state both children were fighting in self-defense, he had to stick it out for a couple days in a county jail and pay a fine.
Back to the point I was getting at before: Duke isn't the biggest fan of green /t/. So I thought, before he gets back, why not review one kind I've been trying to review for awhile? As the last /t/ they thrust upon our blag, BTC gave us a solid hundo of their Dragonwell. Dear caffeine receptors, I am going to destroy you the only way the Chinese know how. Let us begin.
Well, the /t/ looks like grass clippings. As appetizing as that sounds, I hoped it would exceed my primary expectations. Upon opening the bag and inhaling like I was huffing paint, I was instantly reminded of a previous green /t/ that smelled like cranberries. I took another couple sniffs and found something extra: whole wheat bread....huh. That should be... good? I brewed it up and compared the smells to find all pleasantries of the dry had given way to absolutely wet nastiness. What was once fragrant and full-bodied now stood in front of me as thin and smelling of pea soup. Much like a 5 in a dark nightclub, I eventually warmed up to it as it began giving off the normal green /t/ scent every person who has ever had green /t/ can affiliate with said beverage.
Look at that...might as well have made this /t/ out of kelp. Probs would have tasted better. What started off as a thinner variety of boiled vegetables eventually gave way to a very distinct green /t/ taste. Of all the /t/s BTC gave us, I'd have to say this tasted like it'd be most "artificial". It was too spot on with the general green /t/ flavor that it seemed fake, say, like the uncanny valley of /t/. The aftertaste was sweet and pretty dry (see cran-/t/). Actually, pretty sure this dragon has cottonmouth. Though little evidence has been presented, that other green /t/ we mentioned above may have just been a dragonwell in disguise. If you like strong green /t/, by all means hit this up. However, I can think of plenty other /t/s BTC offers that are better than this brew. Thanks to Dragonwell, we can now prove BTC is somewhat mortal (and there was much rejoicing).
