Very good tea! Smooth and mild and pleasant. I fell in love with Fujian Oolongs after tasting it at my favorite Chinese restaurant and this is a great example of that type of tea.
Great aroma and taste, smokey like on the first infusion and got the peachy mineral flavors in the second. Has some qualities of black tea due to the high fired oxidation. A bit pricey, but worth it!
A very interesting oolong with a nutty flavor that reminds me of sesame seeds/oil. I steeped 2.4 grams in ~195 degree water for 2.5 minutes. Rich, amber color tea. The flavor is good but I prefer other oolongs that are sweeter or taste more fruity.
Great mouthful. Very complex. A great nutty flavor. Reminds me of a Wuyi.
very good, similar to oolongs i've had in chinese restaurants
Pretty good, but with better oolong options out there I don't see myself ordering this again.
I loved this tea. It was definitely something new. I enjoyed the flavor as well as the aroma.
This tea tasted like a simple black tea. I don't know why it was under the grouping as oolong. I was a bit dissapointed.
This was a different oolong for me. It had a very nutty flavor.
This tea is my favorite so far. It has a complex, diverse flavor yet it is such a simple tea! I can taste a subtle nutty roast in the finish, and a little smokey flavor. I drink this tea in the morning when I want to skip the coffee, it has a nice awakening appeal to it and doesn't give me the jitters. It provides me with that calm relaxing awake that gets me through the subway ride to work in the morning without stressing out.
This is one of my favorites. With its complex array of flavors, beautiful color, and brisk aroma this tea is definitely one that I will purchase again.
Couldn't drink more than 1 cup of this. Just too mineraly tasting to me.
What makes the difference between a 'Good' and 'great' tea is the complexity of flavor. This is a great tea. The first steeping came out with a strong smokey flavor, with a hint of roasted vegatables. It sounds a little weird, but trust me...it was awesome! What really wowed me about this tea, however, was its ability to stand up to a second infusion and manage to retain quality while changing the entire flavor complex. While the first infusion was clearly smoke dominated, the second infusion really brought out the roasted vegatable/mineral flavor. Sorry this was so long, but wow!
I definitely taste a difference in this from other oolongs I've tried. This is the first rock oolong I've had, so I assume it's a feature, but it tastes wonderfully mineral rich.
Just received a sample. The quality is exceptional, long leaves. Fragrance in the cup, slightly smokey, slight cinnamon. Taste is well rounded, sweet, light molassas, crisp. Very refreshing iced!
This is my favorite oolong from Adagio so far. The name suits it perfectly. It has a wonderfully clean, crisp taste that reminds me of the sharp, ionic smell of the air before a rain shower. Very refreshing. I will be buying lots of this in the future.
One of my favorite teas. The taste is exquisite, reminds me of a dark, fruity/nutty feeling. It reminds me of a lighter Wu Yi. It's fresh and the taste lingers in your palate. 5/5.
VERY mineral tasting! But in a very good way. Like drinking a tea made with pure water from the rains high in the Chinese mountains. It really takes you to far off places. Probably my favorite earthy oolong I've tried. Very fresh and amazing quality! And gives multiple infusions. I wish it wasn't so costly. I'd order it over and over!
Another of the early oolongs I tried, this was much less impressive than the others. The name is true, however - it has a rainy crispness to it.
This is a nice high roast oolong. If you like lighter oloongs and the smokey flavor of greens like gun powder, give this one a try.
Didn't know if I would like the 'mineral' taste in a tea, but it is quickly becoming what of my favorite characteristics of these teas. Oolongs are my favorite so it is difficult for me to rate this at the top, but it is close to my favorite.
Tastes like the rain on Fuji. Pretty pretty pretty good.
Incredibly deep, rich, earthy tea. Absolutely love the scent and tongue feel.
Very good oolong. I really enjoyed this tea, all oolongs are very good.
Not sure about this one yet. It may grow on me. Not super great with dark Oolongs.
i dont really like the darker oolngs that much but is a great smokey tea
For a genmaicha fanatic, the aroma of this tea is heavenly - very earthy and mineral-like. It's quite a light tea, even though the mineral taste is there, this tea is very soothing. This might just become a staple in my collection.
The peach and honey flavor comes out well if you don't oversteep. One of the best oolong teas available.
i desperately want to find an oolong i love! this one is good but just underwhelming. It looks so interesting but after its brewed no quality really wows me. enjoyable nonetheless
One of the best oolong teas I've tried from Adagio, with a fruity full-body flavor that's good any time.
A fantastic deep-fired oolong. Bears some similarities to a favorite of mine, Da Hong Pao, but is a little nuttier, and slightly less forgiving upon subsequent infusions, losing significant flavor and character after the first 3.
Like drinking tea steeped in water taken from a granite rainwater collecting pool. Or something. Stuff is very minerally. I totally dig it. If you think all oolongs taste the same, please try a few steepings of this!
Good tea but it's easy to overbrew and ruin the flavor.
This was my introduction into the realm of oolong tea. Needless to say, I am hooked. This tea has made me greatly desire the pursuit of other oolong teas. While I am still not extremely versified in the consumption of oolong tea, I recommend Fujian Rain to anyone who likes oolong!
This is the first dark oolong from Adagio I've tried which I really liked! It has an intriguing aroma, and the taste satisfies without any bitterness.
This tea had a wonderful aroma, but the tea itself seemed a bit subdued. I tried different times and temps but never felt the tea lived up to its potential. Good, but not great.
Well, maybe not great, but a really darn good Oolong. I'd say it is a bit pricey for an everyday Oolong, but it is yummy. Light yet rich, it captures a sweet, honey flavor I like with the mineral qualities of a Wuyi. #40 and Oooh Darjeeling are close competitors, but they have different flavors and this one edges them out as a favorite.
I really enjoyed this tea, it was strong and delicate at the same time, complex in flavor. It has a rather sweet, almost earthy or woody, taste to it, but not so much that it's off putting. It's very comparable to the peach oolong I've gotten off here before.
I love oolongs, and this is one of the better ones I've had.
New oolong, new taste. This tea reminded me more of light black tea. A nice darker Oolong tea.
Good taste. Nice quality tea. Reminder me of Wuyi.
A delightful evening tea. Reminiscent of an evening on a horse farm. The aroma wafts to the tree tops as a gentle breeze blows across the fields. The aroma of hay. One sip of this delight brings you back to those warm summer nights as the horses chow down. The taste is grassy and sassy with an aftertaste that lingers.
This is a very solid Oolong tea, maybie I just really like Oolong, but it is Masters-quality.
Fujiam Rain is one of the best Shui Xian Wuyi oolongs that I have had the pleasure of drinking. If one is poetic in their tasting notes fujian rain would be the perfect description of how it tastes assuming that rain would have a light and sweet taste to it. Just be careful about getting this tea too strong as it quickly goes downhill but brewed right it is a very nice light and sweet wuyi oolong with amazing reinfusability. When gaiwan brewed I have literally brewed easily 10 cups or more from a single set of leaves.
A good tea with flavor similar to Twilight Ti Kuan Yin and Wuyi. Rather pricey, especially for an everyday tea.
I wanted to try some new oolongs, so I ordered this along with the Masters Wuyi Da Hong Pao. They sounded similar, and I was curious to see which I liked better. Both are good, but this was my clear favorite. I will definitely order it again to have an oolong for those times when I'm not in a pouchong mood.
I really liked this tea. A good alternative to wuyi.
Nice tea, has a depth to it. Reminds me of Black Dragon Pearl but in an Oolong form.
I like other oolongs better, but this isn't bad. It tastes better hot than cold
