★★★★★

Out of the oolongs I've tried, this is definitely one of my favorites. It has a slight sweetness to it that I find refreshing.

★★★★★

I am new to Adagio teas, but this was definately a winner!! I was very pleasantly surprised by the light smooth flavor. I had never heard of Oolong before, but it became a fast favorite!

★★★★★

A little better than the number 8 formula. I thought it was a little weaker tasting, ut that could have been the brewing and not the tea. Still working on that.

★★★☆☆

Hasn't really grown on me yet, I have had a few cups, some I liked and some I didn't, I think I may have overstepped it once or twice. But when it came out right it was a smooth and light oolong I could enjoy.

★★★★★

One of my favorites! This one is exceptionally smooth, and is also an excellent choice for making iced tea.

★★★★☆

This one grew on me. AT first I thought it was tasteless but as I continued I came to appreciate it.

★★★★★

I purchase this tea to mix with three other varieties for an iced tea recipe I invented: oolong #40, pouchong, and oolong #18. I let the mixture sit in my fridge for about 24-48 hours. It is *delicious* in the summertime.

★★★★★

This is the first oolong I've tried and I have to say, its great. Nice light earthy flavors. I'm drinking a cup right now actually!

★★★★☆

I really like the mild flavor but I was hoping for a smoother mouthfeel. I want to try the other oolongs.

★★★★★

This has a great full bodied flavor for such an awesome oolong. This is very deserving of 'champagne' title as described. If you appreciate great oolong, give this one a try also!

★★★★☆

Very good oolong. I moved up from the oolong #8 (another favorite of mine) and this is exactly the quality oolong I've grown to expect from Adagio.

★★★★★

This is the oolong tea that closely resembles Chinese Restaurants. It's a bit more earthy/smokey but very similar. One of my favs!

★★★☆☆

Out of the three Oolong teas I've tried from Adagio this is my second favorite. I prefer #8 but this one is a close second.

★★★★★

This is one of my very favorite Adagio teas. Smooth and sweet, very nice!

★★★★★

Simply good. Whenever you need a simple tea - this is it. I enjoy this tea any time of the day.

★★★★★

this oolong was awesome. very complex nutty flavor, mildly sweet, and even better on the rebrew. i added it to the wu yi oolong and they rounded each other out beautifully.

★★★★★

i never cant not like oolong. wow...a triple negative. but i think that i just said that i really like olong, and this one is great too. verry deep flavor that is sweet and aromatic.

★★★☆☆

I'm starting to think oolong is not the tea for me. I'm bound and determined to find a variety I like, but this is not it.

★★★★★

Great morning subsitute for coffee. This is also very good with milk and/or sugar.

★★★★★

It is a wonderful tea. It reminds me of the tea in a Chinese diner. It is very relaxing. I will be ordering more.

★★★★☆

While this is a nice tea, I found this oolong to not be as strong as some of the oolongs I have had in the past. It is very mild. There's nothing wrong with this tea, but if you are looking for a deep oolong flavor, this may not be your first choice.

★★★☆☆

beautiful tea leaves, and a great oolong for everyday. very full flavor. i personally prefer oolong #18 to this one.

★★★★★

Excellent oolong. My favorite tea. This is a good choice of a tea to share with friends on special occasions

★★★★★

This is my favorite oolong. The first infusion is just sublime (such an awesome, sweet taste) and subsequent ones are fine too.

★★★★★

Reinfused this one about five times and still had a good, flavorful tea. good stuff.

★★★★★

Loved oolong #40! It had exactly the taste I was looking for--it was rich, smooth, and mellow. I am ordering a bigger tin.

★★★★☆

I tried this one based on the reviews and again it is a good tea for those who like a milder less full bodied tea. I have the Oolong Symphony #18 and it has a slightly more pungent aroma, which I like better.

★★★★★

A very nice, gentle tea. Easy to drink, even without cream or sugar. Really enjoyed this.

★★★☆☆

Of the oolongs I've had the pleasure of sampling, lately, this one is the least impressive. It doesn't strike me as having very much depth or interesting flavor or aroma characteristics.

★★★★★

Very good selection of oolong. Adagio's experts show they know teas. Quality product.

★★★★★

Oolong tea is one of my favorites. This tasted and smelled yummy. I will be reordering this!

★★★★★

Wonderful smooth tea. Easy and enjoyable to drink. Goes well with a nice Chinese dinner!

★★★★★

I have become a fan of oolongs and this tea is and the pouchong are the reasons why...refreshing, mild, clean. More oolongs please!

★★★★★

Nice light oolong, my favorite so far besides the jasmine teas.

★★★★☆

Wonderful gentle oolong. I'm usually a green tea drinker but this was great for when I wanted a tea with more body. However I didn't find it was so great the second steeping, as oolong are purported to be...

★★★★★

This tea is a very good example of why oolong is awsome. I will certainly be buying much more.

★★★★☆

A very good oolong. It has a mild flavor that makes it a good accompaniment to a meal. Try it with your favorite Chinese take-away!

★★★★☆

Sugary and smooth, this Oolong is missing only that slight hint of spice that I expected.

★★★★★

Real good oolong flavor. Would definitely buy again

★★★★☆

Excellent Tea...very mellow and warming..but pouchong is my favorite.

★★★★★

This was an excellent oolong with a very round taste. I liked it better than the oolong #8 and would recommend it.

★★★★★

This was my first attempt at an oolong tea. I enjoyed it so much, I'm willing to try more. If you are new to teas like me, this is a good one to introduce yourself to oolongs with.

★★★★☆

Love this tea. It's smooth and sophisticated. I've found that I prefer amber oolongs to the greener ones - this is a lovely amber oolong.

★★☆☆☆

This tea is ok. I guess I am not an oolong type of person, as I don't think I'll reorder it. I guess you could say it's a generalist rather than a specialist.

★★★★★

MMMMMMMM Yummy...this is one of my favorite oolongs..Very relaxing

★★★★★

Excellent flavor. Superb oolong tea. Very smooth and never bitter. I could drink this stuff all day!

★★★★★

OMW this is the best tea on the planet. no really, it is. it has a natural sweetness to and so wonderfully relaxed in its flavor. wonderful for sharing with homework buddies

★★★★★

Love this tea. It has a nice fruity undertone. This is one of my favorites and will be sure to reorder as soon as I'm done.

★★★★★

This Oolong from Formosa is definately the 'champagne' of this variety. It's sweet and light but still has an extremely rich flavor. I love it with seafood dinners.

★★★★☆

A bit on the bitter side. Altogether not a bad tasting tea.
