this was wonderful. i tried a keemun and wasn't too fond of it [too smoky for my taste]. this is lighter and has a cleaner, slightly fruitier taste, which i like.
This Taiwan tea, also called Fancy Formosa Silver Tip or Oriental Beauty, is one of the world's most prized oolongs. More heavily oxidized, yielding luxurious floral, peach-pit fragrance. Incredibly sweet and lush, delicate warm spicy undertone.

great oolong I liked it, would orde rit again but a slight after taste, maybe just not the oolong I was expecting is all
This oolong has a pretty hardy flavor for a 'light' tea. And that's what I like about it, it isn't bland. There is no bitterness to it either. The color is golden, just beautiful.
I simply find this tea irrestible. It is superb. I have read some of the less than agreeable remarks and must conclude that the taster must be a Lipton tea drinker or has never learned how to properly prepare this fine tea.
This oolong teas is delicately balanced. My relatives enjoyed this very much. My grandmother rated it GREAT, so I sent her home with it.
A fabulous, mellow tea. Even the smell is rich and soothing. Definitely some of the best oolong we've had.
This is my favorite oolong. It is light, smooth, and elegant--tastes wonderful any time of the day!
I personally found this one to be a bit lacking in flavor, and won't buy it again.
I love oolongs and this was no disappointment. A great smooth tasting tea to enjoy anytime of day.
Great tea, nice woodsy/nuty flavor. Would definetly reorder
I haven't been a big fan of some of the oolong teas, but this one I really enjoy. Very smooth and relaxing. Give it a try.
I'm not particularly fond of this tea, but my husband likes it for his work thermos. Very bold flavor, dark color.
I FEEL OOLONG TEA IS A TEA ONE HAS TO GET USE TO THE TASTE. I LIKE IT AND I FEEL BETTER WHEN I DRINK IT. IT SEEMS TO CLEAN OUT THE IMPURITIES IN ONES SYSTEM. I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS IN THE POT.
A pretty good tea. Falls between black and green (like an oolong should, actually.) I had to steep it longer than I normally would, or it was a little too thin and watery for my taste.
This is the best oolong tea I've tasted. It does not taste at all green,like some oolongs I've tried.
Decent tea, although seemed neither here nor there. Tasted like a very strong green or a very light black.
Oolong # 40 is not my cup of tea Just did not like the taste of this tea.
This is probably the best tea I've ever had. The delicate, almost sweet flavor is incredible.
I'm not sure whether I am not using enough leaves or whether this tea simply has a weak taste. But for an oolong I find this tea a bit too 'watery'.
A real treat, with just the right balance of flavors. Tastes a bit like a good black tea, but without the stomach wrenching caffeine. Nothing beats a good oolong tea. Please find out for yourself.
Love this flavor! I'm liking the oolong teas more and more. They're fast becoming my favorite kind of teas.
this tea is absolutely WONDERFUL... unfortunately, I just went to reorder, and adagio was out,, I decided to try the #8... it is totally not the same tea, the flavor is very lacking, and it does not brew multiple pots nearly as well... a BIG disappointment... lots of twigs
One of the better oolongs out there. Its a fairly dark oolong and seems best if infused multiple times for short periods. I reccommend 3-5 infusions of 2 mins or so. Very elegant flavor.
Overrated!! Harsher taste than I anticipated. Maybe I over-brewed.
This is the smoothest of the oolongs, and if you like oolongs, it is worth the price.
Wonderful! sweet, fruity, and smooth. I would definately recommend it.
A very complex tea, with layer upon layer of subtle flavors that combine to produce an extremely elegant whole. An excellent afternoon tea, one of my favorites.
Harsher taste than #8, but absolutely luscious with chocolate! Leave a film of chocolate in your mouth before sipping this tea hot -- delightful!
Always a favorite of mine a perfect tea i love this tea so much i got the 6 oz jar and with in days my coworkers and i have finished the entire 6 oz container. I will have to take up a collection from now
My favorite of the white teas, it has a wonderful light scent - and is very delicate and not at all overpowering. A nice tea before bedtime.
As a first time taster of OOlong, I'm hooked. It has a really pleasant taste. Am definitely going to be drinking it every day.
Musky, subtle tea. Absolutly wonderful - really is a champange of teas.
I love oolongs and I absolutely love the Oolong Symphony no. 40. It is a wonderful morning tea as it gets you going with a subtle mildness. Sorta of like being awakened by an angelic choir.
This is a great tea to drink everyday. I enjoyed it.
Musky/fruity tea with a faboulous finish. Complex, multiple flavors as it moves over your tongue.
An oolong with body. Nice color and flavor make this a perfect afternoon tea in the ofice.
Not as sweet and peachy as I expected but good, unpretentious Oolong. Try it with milk and chocolate cake.
A little more nuanced in flavor than symphony # 8 - my favorite oolongs however are the formosa oolongs ...
I enjoyed this, I don't feel the need to keep Oolong around
Simply delicious. This is my favorite so far.
This was a great oolong tea. It reminded me of the time I was in Taiwan the home of oolong.
I really enjoyed this one. Very soothing taste.
This was the first time I've tried Oolong tea. This tea was very mild. I prefer a little more flavor, but this was good.
A nice Oolong, very light and smooth. Great for deserts and after dinner or just with some cheese and bread...
A very enjoyable tea with a Slight wine tone. Light tartness/tang.
I like this oolong, but it's not as good Wuyi Ensemble. This is one good for just before I go to bed. It has a nice, quiet taste, nothing sharp.
I loved your tea. The leaves were of excellent quality, and the scent was delicious.
This tea surpasses any other oolong we've tried, hot or iced. The peachy highlights combine well with the rest of the clean, rich flavor. It perfectly embodies the classic taste of oolong. This is my personal favorite of any loose tea I have yet tried.
A fantastic tea! Very smooth, but with a deep, rich flavor.
This is my favorite tea, no question about it. It's light and has a nice array of subtle tones without any overbearing flavors.
