This is one of the best oolong teas that I have ever had. I always loved to see the full tea after the second steeping. The tin helped to maintain the quality of the tea and is great to be able to use for other adagio teas.
Beloved oolong tea from Fujian, China. Extremely time-consuming to produce (well over a dozen distinct steps). This loosely rolled, lightly oxidized tea yields a pale golden cup with a soft, buttery texture and orchid and honeydew melon notes.

I love this tea, to look at, to hold, to drink in the aroma, to swirl in my cup and yes to drink it. This is my favorite. Thought Earl Grey was for years and years but this lady has won my heart.
This tea is a winner winner, mainly for the leafy deliciousness post infusions. To be honest with you I don't even drink this tea. I infuse the leaves for about ten minutes in boiling water. After the infusion I pour the liquid into an ice cube tray, place in freezer and patiently wait for summer... delicious summertime fujian tea kuan yin ice cube treats anyone!! I then unfurl the leaves and bake them for ten minutes. When dry, I toss the leaves into a large salad bowl. I add one teaspoon of ground chutney and an overflowing cup of turkey giblets and voila, breakfast is served...mmmmm I'm hungry just thinking about it!!!
earthy taste with some flower. And very deep in flavor.
Tastes like Artichokes. Flavorful, but not what I was expecting at 8:30am!
Fantastic tea if you want a unique experience. Not something I would drink every day but I very much enjoyed this tea.
As a fan of the regular TKY, I had to try the master's collection version. I was not disappointed. It is SO floral and the aroma just fills the room. A simply amazing tea. I got 3 really good infusions.
One of my absolute favorites. Crisp, light and all around refreshing.
This tea steeps up with a fragrantly floral aroma that makes me think of just-opened lilac blossoms. The first steep tastes floral and sweet with an oddly spicy aftertaste that linger on the tongue. The flavour has more body and weight to it than many other green oolongs I’ve tasted.
The resteep (@5 min) is mellower and significantly less floral. That perplexing spicy aftertaste is also absent, but the tea still has a full, pleasent flavour that’s sweet without being cloying.
I enjoyed this oolong and I'd consider it to be a cut above the basic Ti Kuan Yins that are available out there.
Great tea, amazing taste. Very worth it. Have been looking at Ti Kuan Yin for a while and this is the best so far.
Another very nice and subtle oolong tea. This one, however, doesn't come across as being much better than Ali Shan - and for the price, I will stick with Ali Shan from now on. Though this does have a nice delicate flavor, it doesn't strike my tastebuds as something 'exquisite'.
A very nice oolong tea, which tastes much better when brewed second time. I am quite happy with the quality of this exclusive tea.
Buttery and floral, ti kuan yins are hands down one of my favorite teas. I enjoy this tea for three or for steeps making it last all day.
This is also a new item in the green tea category if I recall correctly, which is also a new item. It is rather ambiguous in terms of describing the taste and aroma, but gives a very special sensation, which only the individual can describe it. Also recently introduced, and has to be used carefully, in terms of the amount, one selects to brew the tea.
Amazingly complex oolong, by far one of the best tea's i have ever had.
Heaven in a cup!! The fragrance is amazing. I adore this tea!
Ti Kuan Yin is hands down my favorite tea and this Fujian TKY is simply everything that I love in tea. Highly recommend this!
Really quite a nice TKY; light, floral taste with absolutely no astringency or acidity. Great 2nd, 3rd, and 4th brews.
Don't let the light color of the brew fool you. While the finished brew is a pale yellow-green in color, the aroma and flavor of this tea is deep and smooth, similar to the darker Oolongs, without the smokiness or peat-like hints. Very little acidity. This tea took to multiple steepings very well, with the third being just as strong as the first. I truly enjoy this tea, and do not at all regret the cost.
This is a very green TKY with a smooth buttery, full mouth feel and a delicate floral aroma. One of the best I have tried. If you love greener oolongs, this is for you!
A tasty oolong, and it can stand up fairly well to multiple steepings.
