Formosa Oolong Customer Reviews

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.

Reviews

★★★★☆

A good oolong, and there's nothing particularly bad about it, but if you can swing the money, #40 would be a better choice, but if not, this is still a great oolong tea.

★★★★★

excellent quality for the price. i will buy this one again

★★★★★

Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmm. This could very well be my favorite everyday tea from Adagio. A great flavor. Not quite as good iced, but maybe I didn't make it strong enough.

★★★★★

Good enough for me to buy another 3oz. of it after my sampler was finished!

★★★★☆

Not my favorite oolong, but not bad at all. If you are looking for a decent oolong, this could be for you.

★★★★☆

It is a very good oolong, currently out of stock, but I prefer #40 slightly.

★★★★☆

Great tea, but I say pay a little more for the Oolong #40 (it's worth it).

★★★★★

i ordered a bigger can because i loved the sample so much. a far different taste from jasmine #12 which is my favorite oolong, but still a great, light but flavorful cup of tea.

★★★★★

Fantastic medium flavor, perfect for when you don't want a robust black tea or a light green or white tea. The smell is slightly sweet and very inviting. The flavor is wonderful.

★★★★☆

I liked this. It did have a nice flavor. I would order again as a daily drink.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

This is pretty good. I'll try a couple other oolongs before I make a decision about buying #8 again though.

★★★★★

this is the first oolong i tried from adagio, and i enjoyed it very much. getting the 3oz next time and sampling more versions!

★★☆☆☆

Not what I was expecting. It was bitter and not at all what I like in a tea.

★★★★☆

Very nice and gentle tea, I'm sipping it right now, I'm very pleased with this one.

★★★★☆

this was a very good tea. I never got a bad cup out of it, and I would recomend this to anyone who it trying oolong teas for the first time.

★★★★★

Just like the tea at our favorite Chinese restaurant.

★★★☆☆

Good flavor, but hard to brew a strong enough cup. I'll keep working at it!

★★★★★

My favorite oolong to date, can't wait to order more.

★★★☆☆

It's a decent enough tea. A little woody, a little grassy. I suspect that I prefer my oolong more on the oxidized side. This tea is like a dulled oolong #40 (oolong #40 being one of a handful of favorites, possibly my very favorite).

★★★★★

This is a nice ooolong and i will be getting more when my tub runs out!

★★★★★

I love oolong tea, and this one os fantastic. Lovely flavor, nice and light, great with meals.

★★★★★

I ordered this tea hoping it would taste like the tea served in Chinese restaurants. It does!!! It's a great anytime tea. I love it! I enjoy sipping it at work in the afternoons. I will definitely order this again.

★★★★★

Great taste. Ordered three different formulas of Oolongs and started with this one. Being as this is the first Oolong I've ever tasted, I am really happy.

★★★★☆

Just seems like no frills oolong.. definitely enjoyable though.

★★★★☆

Good, but no comparison to #40, which is much more complex and pleasurable to drink.

★★★★★

Of all the tea I have tried this is my second favorite (mambo is the best!).

★★★★★

This has to be my favorite tea. It's not overpowering, but still strong and very flavorful. It tastes delicious and doesn't require any additional flavoring such as sugar, milk, etc.

★★★☆☆

I'm not much of an oolong drinker, so this was a little strong for me. I'd rather go for a green or red tea, but this was a nice change once in a while.

★★★☆☆

Not too much flavor, I would recommend the wuyi instead.

★★★★★

In a word - delicious! This has become one of my 'must have' teas. Mild, even-flavored, balanced. I'm tempted to try the other oolongs, but can't imagine I could like them more than this one.

★★★☆☆

I also dont own this tea, so i couldnt tell you how it tastes

★★★☆☆

This was a good oolong, but oolong isn't one of my particular favourites. However, when I want a cup, this is the one that I choose.

★★★★☆

I do like this tea, it is nice after dinner or to relax with a book. Not to strong but a nice pleasant lite flavor. One of my favorites

★★★★★

I really like this tea. It's stronger than a green but not as strong as a black. This is my first oolong, I think it would make a great tea any time.

★★★★★

This is a fantastic, simple oolong. I could drink it every day with a meal or by itself.

★★★★☆

My first Oolong. I liked it but its hard to judge it completely since I have never had any other oolongs.

★★★★☆

Nice, not over processed. Great supplement if you don't want to use up all of your jasmine... mix it up.

★★★★★

Really Tasty, plus can be steeped 4 times or so. Great tea--highly recommend. Not too pricey, especially for oolong

★★★★☆

Out of the three Oolong teas I've tried from Adagio this is my favorite. Very reminiscent of what you get at the Chinese restaurant only a bit more flavorful.

★★★★☆

I got my first order of the #8 Oolong Tea and I must say I was so pleased with the tea. I just started drinking Oolong, I found it a little stronger than my normal China Green tea, but I like the flavor a lot and look forward to ordering again. I got my tea so fast, that amazed me too. Thanks again.

★★★★★

This is one of my favorites for iced tea and I'll be ordering more. Delicious by itself or by adding just a tiny bit of flavored black teas I get a nice variety. Excellent!

★★☆☆☆

Did not care for this one, a little dark and bitter for me.

★★★★★

this was a very good oolong on its own. nice and nutty, smooth, and great for rebrewing. i added it to the wu yi oolong and they rounded each other out wonderfully.

★★★★★

Nice smooth oolong with smoky flavors. I really enjoyed it.

★★★★★

i love OLONG. i even like saying the name. Ooooooooollllooonnngggg. this one is nice and mellow with really pleasent sweet notes. TRY IT

★★★☆☆

A bit stringent for my palette. Perhaps the next time I brew it I will let it steep for less time.

★★★★★

This is a great everyday Oolong tea. This has wonderful body to the tea without being strong flavored. I can drink this tea everyday (and do!) without tireing of the taste.

★★☆☆☆

This has a very smoky and woody flavour. Not recommended.

★★★★☆

this oolong was nice, but not the perfect match I was hoping for with that 'chinese resterant' flavor. Still, nothing to complain about!

★★★★★

Didn't care for this one much on its own, but mix it with some berry blues and you have a fantastic combination.
