Not bad but I want to try the other oolongs before I rate this great.
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.

Not bad but I want to try the other oolongs before I rate this great.
A sturdy brew. Goes especially well with a wide range of Asian cuisine. Or a late-night sip with cookies.
Very nice. Has a nice scent and doesn't get too strong even if it steeps too long.
I really love this oolong. It's a smooth tea. I love it with food. It's not overpowering.
Adagio has the BEST selection of oolong's! Symphony #8 is delicious. Similiar to Wuyi, but without the slight smokiness. It can be steeped several times, each time revealing a different, subtle taste. A must-try for any oolong lover!
i hated this tea hot. i didnt care much for it cold. however it started to grow on me as i drank it (cold) with a couple of slices of pizza.
After a few months of sampling Adagio teas, Oolongs have definitely become my favorites. #8, on the dark end of the Oolong sprectrum has a very pleasant, slighty musty aroma and a rich, somewhat tangy flavor that is very smooth and soft. I can see this one becoming a morning favorite.
Good tea, may need to use slightly less tea for each cup of water.
I love oolong teas, and this was terrific. Had been looking for something like what they serve in my favorite chinese restaurant, and this was close.
Earthy flavor, no bitterness, smooth drink. Good starter oolong.
one of the best teas i have ever had. Its flavor is deep and sure to please tea purists.
Delicious tea. I enjoy a cup or it or the Ti Kwan Yin every morning when I can. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great hot or iced. Try it plain or with some simple syrup.
This tea is overall very good. The first brew is quite strong but not overwhelming in flavor. The second, third, and fourth mellow out more. I liked this oolong but I enjoy Ti Guan Yin more.
I liked oolong #8, but I found that I prefer oolong #40. Still a very enjoyable tea.
This was a so-so oolong. It was pretty good but didn't really stand out at all to me, but then again, I don't know much about oolongs.
Very calming wonderful Tea..Beautiful Color. love it...
This tea has a rich flavor and is good in the late afternoon
the bags from this site aren't very good. they tend to be very bitter and unpleasant.
This is another of my favorite teas. I always go to this one when I want something inbetween a black and green tea.
This tea is very smooth and drinkable. A good choice if you like Oolong. I like it as an alternative to the flavored teas I usually drink.
It's an ok oolong. I've had better. I'd probobly serve this to someone with less sophisticated tastes.
In my experience oolong teas can range from something resembling black tea to more a green tea. This one seems to fall right in the middle.
This is my favorite oolong. It has a clean, crisp flavor.
A great basic oolong. Good in the late morning, seems good blended with other teas.
This is a good basic green tea. The flavor is does not really stand out to me as WOW, but still a good tea
Good, but forgettable. Nothing to get excited over.
Tastes like the tea served in chinese restaurants. The flavor is somewhat bold on the first infusion, but mellows out nicely with the second (and even third--what a great value!)infusion.
i didn't like this tea at all. it had a metallic taste.
I'm really enjoying the oolong teas lately - maybe even more than the black and flavorred teas. I haven't been disappointed in one of the oolongs yet!
This was a great sample of oolong for someone looking to try an oolong. The flavor is nutty with out being overwhelming.
I think I prefer the jasmine oolongs, but this was a nice devation at least. Im not sure I would buy it again though.
We enjoyed trying each of the flavors in this sampler pack. We are so happy to have found out about adagio teas. We are recommending this site to family and friends!
I liked this better than green teas, but jasmine is my favorite oolong.
Good as a base for mixing, but a little uninteresting on its own. Probably will not re-order this one.
I find this tea to be a good, basic oolong. It works well if you want a cup in the morning or evening. There is definitely a taste difference between this, and those oolongs that are more expensive, but for the money, this is quite good.
Makes a good cup of tea. Not as strong as black tea. I blended the oolong #8 and the ceylon sonata for a great cup of tea.
A nice calming tea. I would definitely purchase this again.
This oolong is slightly smoky and delicately aromatic. It is a good choice for tea drinkers who haven't tried oolong teas. It's also great iced with a touch of honey.
This is the best oolong I've tried. Mildly smokey, complex flavor. The second steeping is even better than the first.
This is my first Oolong purchase - reminds me of something I'd get in a chinese restaurant except with a hint of smokiness to it.
Very enjoyable-mellow and soft. This is what the Chinese restaurants serve.
We really like oolong tea. This tea is definitely milder than a black tea...doesn't have the bite or as much of an aftertaste. Very smooth.
Bold tasting oolong, very smooth and flavorful, on the red end of the oolong spectrum.It was a good oolong. Although I am not currently ordering more, I may at a later date
A nice, pleasant oolong. i like to drink it in the morning; a great choice for the tea bags.
Quite good, but I thought the tea was chopped up finer than it should have been. I know that isn't the proper term but I don't know what to call it.
A melodic and well-balanced tea. The flavor is both mild and fulfilling at the same time.
I love oolong. Haven't tried one I didn't like. I love their flowery sweetness.
I thought the Golden Monkey was the best tea in the sampler. It had a very nice balanced taste, but still had depth to it.
mmmmmmmmmmm... oolong... so... good... drank all in just over a week.
