Somewhat mild Oolong, but very tasty. My favorite Oolong to drink without food.
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.

Somewhat mild Oolong, but very tasty. My favorite Oolong to drink without food.
It was a good oolong. Although I am not currently ordering more, I plan to at a later date.
Great colorful bold tasting oolong, very smooth and flavorful, on the red end of the oolong spectrum.
I liked this. It has that oriental flavor I like in my oolong teas.
This tea doesn't have the oomph for a morning cup, and it won't compete well food. However, this tea is just fine for a light afternoon taste.
A good medium bodied tea with a fine aroma. Has an earthy, musky flavor and a darker caromel color. A great anytime tea with very satisfying qualities.
FAntastic oolong tea. I really enjoy the flavor of this oolong.
Wonderful tea! I'm becoming more and more of an oolong fan. There are some superb teas in this category, very drinkable any time of day. I especially like this one after dinner.
Wonderful tasting Oolong tea.
This Oolong has no redeaming qualities. I believe that you would be better off finding another Oolong variety.
the tea has been wonderful the memory of the taste lingers in our mouth
Not quite as good as symphony number 40 but for the price I prefer it. It's even good brewed twice.
This oolong tea just didn't have enough "oomph" for my taste - perhaps I didn't brew it long enough - I note some people are brewing oolong for 7 or more minutes ...
I like it, no complaints. However, I like the Foojoy Oolong tea bags that I buy from the local Chinese restaraunt a little better!
A good all purpose oolong
Ppleasant, but not great Oolong.
the delicate yet persistant flavor of this tea is a superb blend of light and green. It makes the wait worthwhile and will seduce you to imbibe this pleasant sienna liquid.
Nice. My husband thinks it is bitter but I thought it was delicious.
This is my "me time" tea. After trying several oolongs from the sampler I found this to be my favorite. It has just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering.
Who doesn't like a good oolong.
After just a week of drinking it, this tea has come close to unseating Wuyi as my absolute favorite product here at Adagio Teas. The initial appearance is of a mass-market tea, but once the leaves unfurl during brewing, you will see many pairs of leaves with a single unopened bud. This is a sign of a quality loose-leaf tea. This oolong is well-oxidized, and the resulting brew looks reddish, like you'd get from a black tea. But the flavor is classic formosa oolong. For drinkers of black tea who want to find out why oolongs are so highly regarded, you should try this tea. The full-bodied brew and the very reasonable price make this a great everyday tea.
This is the best oolong I've tried, but oolong is just not my thing. I prefer green. But this one does have a nice taste, more like a black tea. It's one of my husband's favorites.
A wonderful everyday tea. Very smooth with absolutely no tanic bite.
A wonderfully balanced, everyday tea. I ordered a pound of it and plan to order a refill again soon! For my taste, it's perfect - not too sweet or too smoky, too weak (like Min-nan) or too strong (like Pu-erh), too floral (like the jasmines) or too earthy...it's just right!
This is one of my favorite teas of all time. I drink it almost every morning to get me going, and it does just that.
Love this tea! Very soothing. My favorite everyday tea.
a delicious tea whether it is hot or iced.. once you have a cup or glass you want to finish the rest of the pot..
I must have drank it but it wasn't memerable
Absulutely the best, sweetest and smoothest Oolong I have ever had...
I like this tea! One of my favorites. Great aroma and flavor.
Distinctive oolong taste but very smooth. Highly recommended. Overbrewed once but still tasted pretty good.
a little heavy for my taste would have again just not my first choice
I hosted a wedding shower for my sister, and bought a whole bunch of the samples. I decorated the tins with an origami leaf and gave them out as favors. Everybody loved it!
Beautiful to look at -- better to enjoy.
Soothing to drink after a stressful day!
Very much enjoyed this one!
A smooth and flavorful Oolong.
I love Oolong tea, and this one was delicious. Very smooth, and subtly sweet.
Excellent
My favorite Oolong! I just sit and smell the tin of leaves at work when I don't have a cup brewed in front of me. Cheers!
Cannot say enough good about this tea - it is
my favorite of all the oolongs, and of all the
teas in general. Smooth and delightful, it is
always great, never bitter.
This tea would be much better if it didn't have so many stems in it. Higher quality teas have fewer stems.
This tea was wonderful. It had a rich dark taste and was my favorite out of the samples I chose.
tasty!
Wonderfully smooth, yet strong. Excellent oolong tea.
Rich and flavorful. I usually like very lightly oxidized oolongs, but this made me look more closely at this type.
Wonderfull aroma and flavor! A must for tea drinkers.
A fantastic oolong. Bold and striking.
This is truely a "choice grade" oolong tea... not too dark and not green either, with a wnderful taste.
This tea is light, but has a distinct flavor that is very pleasant. Goes well with food, especially fruit.
I love it hot and I love it cold. When I don't feel well, I drink Oolong instead of regular tea. It's easier on my stomach.
Very nice. It had a smoky, almost earl grey kind of taste. Not too strong, a very nice tea.
