Wuyi Ensemble

"A good and mellow oolong, but I was hoping for something a bit deeper and stronger."

"I really like bold flavors, and this tea had it. A smoky deep flavor that survived multiple steepings. So far this is my favorite of all the teas I've tried."

"A bit bitter if brewed improperly, and it loses its charm if served cold, but it makes a lovely cup of hot tea on a cold winter night."

"Interesting. This liquor has a very nice brown color. Upon drinking, it has a very strange, tight mouthfeel: not smooth; astringent, but also there is something else, a brightness under the soft palate which wanes with later steepings. It has a warm flavor, very unique, which occurs nearly entirely in the back of the mouth: nutty, not sweet, not black, not green; I would almost say sour. That’s not bad though; it’s only the typical complexity of oolongs; it’s a flavor not to be simply taken, but explored. (The flavor cools and dims with later steepings, picking up more sweetness and a floral note.) It certainly has me thinking of a rainy day in the mountains. Preparation: I’ve done it a few ways but I think I like this most recent way the best: A tablespoon and a pinch of tea per four to six ounces of water, just under boiling, for 1, 1, 2, 4, and 8 minutes."

"This is by far my favorite tea. I drink it with just a few of the sugar crystals and it is perfect."

"Very good. Nice interesting flavors. Seems like 2nd steep tastes even better than first."
