Really nice Oolong - we've actually been using this to make kombucha recently, which has turned out great!
An oolong tea from the misty mountains of Anxi County in the Fujian region of China, with floral notes of honeysuckle and osmanthus.

Really nice Oolong - we've actually been using this to make kombucha recently, which has turned out great!
This has become one of my favorite teas. It s floral but not perfumy, and manages to somehow feel light while still offering a clear flavor, nothing weak or subtle about it. The beautiful golden liquor is a treat to the eye and practically invites you to sip the brew and enjoy. I am completely in love with this tea and I will not allow myself to run out of it ever again if I can possibly help it.
this is a very complex tea and steeps well multiple times will definitely purchase again
this tea is simply delicious I will buy this again
This tea tastes like flowers. I mean that in a good way! It's very floral and sweet in it's own way, and strong enough to make a second cup on the resteep, too. An absolutely delightful white tea, and it's left me excited to try even more. If you like white teas -- or like me, you're still exploring what the world of tea has to offer -- I think you owe it to yourself to give this one a try.
I really wanted to love this tea. It is an affordable oolong. It just was very tangy and not as creamy as I hoped. When I finish it, I will opt to purchase any other oolong.
Great inexpensive oolong. Beautiful yellow color when brewed.
What a delightfully surprising tea! I initially received this as a 'CommuniTea' sample, and wondered which kind of green tea it was. I was almost shocked to find that it is in fact an oolong tea! It has a wonderful grassy/herbal/floral aroma, with good depth of flavor that lasts through three separate brewings. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered two pounds of this Golden Flower tea, all for just myself. A real winner!
Used for a gong fu type session. Floral and grassy on the nose, with a medium body mouthfeel and subtle hints of honeysuckle and light cut grass
This is a basic oolong that is a wonderful everyday tea.
A delightful everyday 'Goldilocks' oolong with a yummy fragrance of honey and flowers. (A little honey is quite good to add, if you are so inclined.) Not too green and not too dark - just right for simple enjoyment. I got a pound of this after trying a small bag and finding I was happily drinking it all times of the day. Resteeps well with a higher temp/time and a little extra new leaves. The leaves really expand, so have a pot big enough for them to spread out fully!
Great for the price. Very floral and sweet/honey flavors. If you need a cheap every day tea, consider this one. Unique flavor, but I prefer something different usually. Doesn't hold up to multiple steeps
I wasn't sure what to expect with this tea, but after tasting it I'd say the biggest assets of it are the soft and silky texture it leaves in your mouth as well as its subtle flavor. Other than that, it's quite plain
not a bad oolong but a little too grassy for my taste. the flavor becomes grassier with multiple infusions.
Yes not a bad oolong. I have had better but this is definitely worth tasting. Golden Flower is best brewed in a large tea strainer so that it can be rebrewed three or more times. The flavours seem better and stronger on the second brewing. Pretty much what you expect from an oolong. I like that it doesn't have any smoky taste.
If I hadn t known better, I would have thought this was a jasmine tea. It has a distinctly floral scent and taste, but it s delicate.
I love this tea. The floral taste reminds me of Jasmine tea and it is lovely. It's important to not steep it too long, but it is worth paying attention to it.
It has a full bodied brothy flavor. Nothing exceptional, but it is pleasant and simply good.
'Rustic' smell and flavor. Rich, tonally. Not an everyday drinker for me, but I really enjoy it.
I realize now that I'm not a huge fan of oolong. This did make a nice, mild second cup.
Delicious! I love the light creaminess as I am quite a fan of white teas. This tea is quite similar and somewhat light, excellent and delicious!
Delicious and has a very nice honeysuckle spell and flavor.
As a huge fan of oolong tea this has become one of my favorites. It smells amazing when its freshly brewed and is even sweet without any sugar or honey.
love the fact that you can keep steeping this tea and still maintain the taste; also a very refreshing morning cup and love the slight flowery aroma
As described. Honeysuckle melts into an almost flavorless finish. I prefer the Jade oolong’s bright, fresh taste (with a similar flavor profile) for my hot drinks. However, I made Golden Flower iced tea with a blend of three infusions and 30% more leaves, and it was excellent.
Something glitched in the app and the wrong review went up.
This tea just came in today. It's really good. It is floral and sweet with strong notes of honeysuckle. It pairs very well with Asian inspired dishes.
Brew 2 heaping teaspoons in 240ml of water
Simple every day oolong. Love it!!! Oversteep for best results.
First taste was forgettable but after a couple new brew times with more time it was very complex and lovely.
Pretty good oolong. Flavor is smooth and enjoyable. Clean fresh tasting tea.
Fantastic oolong. Florally and earthy. Leaves can be reused for several sterling’s. Definitely a distinct oolong. My fav.
This tea is light and flowery. It is simple but great.
I bought this tea because it said it had notes of honeysuckle in it. I use to have a honeysuckle bush in my back yard and loved the smell. This tea is very good both in taste and smell.
The scent of this tea is enjoyable but after steeping it the flavor is perfect. The light sweet floral flavor is lovely.
Tastes as described. Wasn’t my favorite. I do enjoy watching them expand
Bold oolong, very floral. Would recommend infusing this multiple times.
This was pleasantly floral, almost like a jasmine tea. I also found it was not too grassy or bitter.
Just absolutely delicious. I could drink pots and pots of this tea & even the 2nd infusions were super flavorful.
This tea had a different taste that i could not place? almost a little like puer. A kinda pleasent funk funk. Not bad just different.
This will likely be my go-to oolong tea for my house.
Did not like the lingering after taste that felt gritty and overly woody to me.
This quickly became my entire household's favorite tea. We're keeping it regularly stocked now.
This tea really expanded while being brewed. You can get many cups from 1 teaspoon full of leaves. Has a great taste,
I love this tea! Great rich taste of a green tea. I am ordering more.
I love how floral this oolong is, one of my faves.
This makes for an amazing cup of tea as it is both light and refreshing. There are very slight hints of honey and vanilla flavors that come through which makes for a truly aromatic experience. Great tea to relax at the end of the day with your favorite book and some classical music.
Likely one of the worst oolongs I’ve tasted. Pretty disappointed with this one.
The name of this tea is a perfect description of it. It is a pale golden color in the cup with a light to medium body and very floral honey-like flavor in your mouth. The aroma is sweet. These leaves unfurl to be very large so use a big infuser or brew them straight into your cup or pot and strain the tea out so they have maxiumum room. I infused a second time with 1/3 less water at 190 degree F water for 5 minutes and was able to get a 2nd cup
This tea is great, a nice flowery smell, and not too bitter. This tea has converted me from a green tea drinker to an oolong drinker.
A delicate green, but with enough flavor and color that it doesn't just sit there in the cup
A good, well rounded oolong for sure. Has a creamy texture to it which I enjoyed and don't get with the green teas I mostly drink. The result after steeping one teaspoon wasvery light gold, and was worried it wouldn't be strong enough (I prefer my teas stronger), but the result was absolutely perfect.
Very poor and bitter taste in a very short time. The overall taste isn't very good either.
