I really really likes this. It's smooth and sweet, and has a little smoky aftertaste that's really great. Definitely putting this on a list of reorders.
A darker oolong tea from Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa (which means 'Beautiful'). Deep raisiny and ripe fruit aroma, autumn 'leafy' note. The lingering flavor and smooth, refreshingly fruity astringency and a lovely introduction to Taiwanese tea.

A hearty, nutty oolong that yields at least three good infusions and is enjoyable both warm and iced. Similar to Formosa Bai Hao, but with less of a granola-type character.
This was my first oolong so I wasn't sure what to expect but I liked it! Reminded me of popcorn.
This is one of the best oolong teas I have ever had.
Deep and dark with a hint of something slightly sweet around the edges. Good for a shot in the arm at breakfast time.
This tea is really good and my mom even liked it and she doesn't like Oolong teas that much.
Lighter than I expected, it's a refreshing and enjoyable cup. It's earthy and slightly sweet on it's own. I wouldn't recommend adding milk to it, as it kind of muddled the lovely flavor of this tea for me. Just a little honey IF anything and I find myself finishing this tea and making another cup in record time! :)
One of my favorite teas. So light and full of flavor, I finish the cup in record time. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't experienced oolongs teas yet. It's a great introduction.
A pretty good dark Oolong. Has a pleasant red-wine-y cinnamon-y aroma. Makes a yellowish brew. Tastes slightly leafy (like Darjeeling) and sweet. A good refreshing tea for value.
Smooth, slightly sweet (honeyish)tea. Not at all floral but more dark caramel like. Good economical every day tea.
Very woody and earthy tasting, but not in a bad way. I am not entirely sure if I would order it again.
This is one of my favorite teas to drink in the morning. I don't find the flavor very impressive when it's still hot, but once it becomes simply warm it becomes very smooth and rather savory. Other oolongs are better, but this is a very good basic oolong.
Very good tea. Softly smoky notes fading into an earthy, woody kind of flavor. This is the first oolong I've ever had, but I think it's a nice sample and a good everyday tea.
I didn't care for this at all. It tastes like a gym sock.
A very nice and bold tea. It has spicy, fruity, and smoky notes and it all comes together beautifully.
One of the best oolongs I had. Deep flavor, roasted aroma.
smooth flavor but bitter if steeped too long. best oolong of them all though.
Love, love, LOVE this tea!! It has just enough smokiness to compliment the flavor. I brew it double strong and mix it with water and lemon and use it during my work outs, helps me drink more water!
wanted to like it more but was just ok. it is similar to a chinese restaurant tea with better taste but a more unpleasant odor. the smell of this tea is the main reason i may not see it again
Reminds me of a night at a chinese restaurant, except it doesn't taste as acrid as what they serve there.
One of the best Oolongs I had, at a very low price.
This is a great savory tea. Perfect to sip on during the day while at work. Very smooth tea that gives off earthy autumn tones with a nice finish.
Admittedly, this is only my second oolong, but I prefer the first one considerably (it's a milk oolong from a different vendor). This one had some almost woodsy notes and was too faint for my liking. I'm glad I tried it, but I think I'll keep exploring the oolongs Adagio has to offer.
Great oolong tea. Great to have in the morning and in the afternoon.
This is my go-to basic breakfast tea. It's a nice basic oolong.
Not the most complex brew as far as oolongs go, but a very good, light oolong none the less. Very little sweetener needed. Perfect for a morning tea. Awesome price for this one too. Will order again.
Still getting used to Oolong teas and I like this one. I think the more earthy you can get with Oolong the better. A great starter to Oolongs if you want to learn more about what they are like.
Strong dark and woody sort of flavor. A good one when I'm in the mood for something with a bit more power than my usual greens.
Really great tea, smooth-great morning tea. I like mine strong so I brew extra long.
This is probably one of the best oolong teas that I've tried. I will definitely be buying some more.
Great everyday oolong. Slight leafy/earthy aroma and taste. Good for multiple steeps - has kept flavor and aroma well through third steep so far.
This was the first big bag of oolong that I've bought. It makes a great afternoon tea.
It's a really good everyday oolong. It's earthy and not too delicate. And it's quite dark as well. Stands up great to boiling water, and has a flavor like autumn leaves.
Exactly what oolong is like in my mind (which inferior teas never live up to.) Good anytime you just want a nice cup of tea.
reddish brown colour, aroma starts slightly smoky and sweet, mineral, then bit peppery, throughout some chrysanthemum tea-like notes, flavour is bit austere, more mellow with each brewing
It is okay, but the flavor isn't really all that exiting.
This was my first oolong, and at first I had trouble contextualizing a flavor that I had never encountered. After a while, though, I started to grow pretty fond of its soft smokiness, although I couldn't get much flavor out of a second brewing.
This is one of the better oolong teas I have tried and will be using this on a regular basis. It has good earthy flavor, not too strong, not light. It does not get bitter too if brewed for a long time.
This is very leafy, but in a good way, like fall.
One of the best teas I've tried. VERY smooth with deep flavor. If you haven't tried an Oolong or Darjeeling, you need to, but get a quality one.
This is the first oolong I have ever tried in loose leaf form. I don't find the taste to be incredibly special and seem to prefer the taste of some comparably priced black teas. For some reason after after a sip I imagine that this must be what would result from crushing up leaves from a pile of dried up leaf litter in your yard and making a tea out of it. This is okay at best but.
Great, mild oolong. Perfect for anytime of the day.
This is my favorite oolong out of 10 or so I have tried from adagio. It is smooth and leafy as in the description.
Smooth and flowery. Best if drunk on it's own and tastes great iced.
This is delicious, well-rounded, full-bodied, and flavorful. It makes a pretty rad iced tea as well as a hot one.
This is a very savory mellow tea. Great for relaxing and reading.
Very bitter. Followed brewing instructions entirely.
A decent darker oolong but is almost a little leafy and a touch too astringent for me.
Very tasty tea suitable for any day, any time. Very pleasing.
Quite a good oolong, a bit of a tobacco like taste yet very smooth
