Reviews

★★★★☆

Very good flavor. Analogous to Irish Breakfast in the way it brews...if left too long it is very strong indeed. 2 minutes on the nose brews a good cup every time.

★★★★★

A great, mellow green tea. Easy to drink and fairly easy to brew as well. Not as finicky as some of the other greens I've had.

★★★★☆

Overall good green, don't let get too cold though the flavor is a little off then.

★★★★★

Very nice, mild tea. I like the flavor and it doesn't seem to turn bitter too easily.

★★★★☆

If you are into green teas, this is one to definitely try

★★★★★

A very good green tea with a nice smooth flavor. My wife and I both liked this one a lot.

★★★★★

This has a great vegetal aroma when steeped, almost like a sweet cooked corn. The flavor is nice and bold. I like this a lot and will definitely order again.

★★★★☆

This is a very light green tea. It's nice when you're looking for something on the border between green tea and white tea.

★★★★☆

This tea was light on the vegetal flavors, but pretty good. Will probably buy again.

★★☆☆☆

I think you either love this tea or hate it and I happen to be the latter. It has a mossy smell to it and the taste is exactly as it smells. I would buy a sample before purchasing this in greater quantities...luckily, I did!

★★★★★

Hands down the best green tea I've ever had. Delicate flavors make this tea my all time favorite.

★★★★★

This is a nice mild green tea. It has the slight grassy notes like most greens but even a little milder than most. It also has a slight flowery taste that is most pleasant.

★★★★★

Our whole family favorite green tea! Its taste is delicate and very satisfying. We have introduced several friends to it.
In addition to simply love it, it helped me cut down my sugar cravings.

★★★★★

Pi lo chun is one of my favorite green teas, and Adagio's version is great. I like it strong, so I use extra leaves. I always make sure to only steep for 2 minutes, as pi lo chun is not as forgiving as some other greens I drink.

★★★★☆

pretty good. Both myself and my wife enjoyed it.

★★★★★

I gave this tea as a gift, and the recipient said that he enjoyed it. I was suprised that the tea bags have no string, but I think that's a good thing. Creates less waste.

★★★★★

My favorite green to so far, seems to have a minty aftertaste.

★★★★★

Pi lo chun is a great green tea for everyday drinking. Not too grassy.

★★★☆☆

Done right, the tea presents a marvellous combination of qualities--a sweet spring scent, a well-layered creamy, vegetal flavor, and an unctuous mouthfeel. Done wrong, it tastes like gargling lawn clippings. Alas, the tea is so finicky that it's easier to do wrong than right.

★★★☆☆

Definitely not a favorite, but not bad. Very earthy flavor, more towards a light fish aftertaste.

★☆☆☆☆

Adagio stole my money and I never received package. Got destroyed during delivery and got charged for shipping regardless of it being free.

★★★★☆

The Chinese green teas are my favorite. I give this is strong 'B.' Don't steep it too long. It's already very dark and might be too strong if you let it sit for more than 2 minutes.

★★★★★

This brews up a rich green tea that's wonderful on its own or with food. The shaggy edges of the leaves allows the flavor to bloom as it steeps.

★★★☆☆

Deffinatly not one of my favorite greens, but worth a try.

★★★★★

Interesting green. Smooth, easy to brew. Bears a second wash. Quite sweet for green with a faint sweet hay aroma after swallowing.

My favorite green I have tried so far. Its light and smooth and good!

★★★★☆

I like pi lo chun when I want a little more flavor in my tea.

★★★★★

I love the White Monkey so I thought that I would try pi lo chun and was pleasantly suprised it is a litte stronger but has a nice sweetness with a slight bitter finish which is a nice change of pace from the lighter White Monkey!

★★★★★

Beautiful and tasty. I don't know why more people don't rate this highly.

★★★★★

This is my favorite Adagio green tea. Very nice delicious and subtle flavors, not bad even if over steeped.

★★★★☆

This tea was fun in terms of the character of the leaf itself in how its prepared. Flavor is likable, but not overwhelmingly memorable.

★★★★☆

One of my staple teas. Good all around tea for drinking and yet sublte enough to blend with other things. A great everyday geen tea.

★★★★★

Currently my go-to everyday green tea. Tastes subtle and nice with a hint of sweetness if you make it just right. If you over-steep, it tastes awful.

★★★★☆

A great green tea. Looking forward to trying more like it.

★★★★☆

Nice light cup with a slightly Sweet undertone. Great green tea for somebody just starting out with green tea.

★★★★★

I used to drink gunpowder every day, but I wasn't able to find any for a while and tried out the pi lo chun. It doesn't have the same smokiness as gunpowder, which might be a plus for some. Definitely a great affordable green tea to drink every day.

★★★★★

A great, soft green tea. Good for your everyday cup.

★★★★★

A wonderful, grassy , sweet tea that i enjoy daily, hot or cold.Just be sure not to oversteep it as it can turn highly bitter.

★★★★★

Tried this in the sampler and came back for more. Mild taste, nice color. I use multiple infusions 9 usually 30 and still tastes great.

★★★★★

Awesome green, A solid every day tea, right in the middle. I would call it a "reliable" tea, if that makes sense.

★★★★★

Pi lo chun is probably one of my favorite teas. It's simple, yet has a great flavor to it. This Pi Lo Chun has an amazing aroma and a nice full bodied taste to it. I could drink this tea all day, and in fact, sometimes I do!

Pi lo chun is a perfectly acceptable everyday tea. Grassy and light, easy to drink the whole day through. A nice, easy green tea.

★★★★☆

A very delicate green tea with floral undertones and a woody aftertaste.

★★★★★

My new favorite green tea! Can't completely put my finger on what it is but has a distinct flavor that jumps out at me. I'll be ordering more of this for sure!

★★★★★

I really liked this tea, I didnt have any problems with brew tempature or time.

★★★★★

Very nice, relaxing green. I like to brew it lighter and cooler water. Makes great tea even in hot weather.

★★★★★

This tea smells and taste delicious and it is the perfect for green tea beginers.

Enjoyed this tea very much. It has a kind of "smoky" flavor. I used 2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup so I think I made it a little stronger than what is normal. I steeped the leaves 3 times and the last brew was still full flavored.

★★★★★

I love the look and smell of this tea. Hard to describe, but it makes a lovely cuppa.
