This is amazing! I'm not sure I would have tried it on my own, but a friend highly recommended it. Lovely smooth flavor and smell.

This is a light oolong, with mild floral notes. Nothing overpowering, but it was a nice tea. I recommend a large infuser or strainer, as these leaves can expand a lot.

Light and flowery. The tea was a beautiful pale gold. A nice experience for eyes and tongue. A lovely change of pace from the fuller bodied black teas I usually enjoy. (For temperature, I didn't measure; just brought water to a boil, removed from heat, let the bubbles die down, and poured to brew.

I don't think I would get this again it's not bad just not for me. It's very light and taste kind of like Jasmine which I don't like. I put flavored honey in it and it took on that flavor.

★★★★☆

This is the first oolong tea that I have ever tried so I have nothing to compare it to but I did enjoy it. Very rich flavor!

★★★★★

Almost certainly my new daily cuppa.
Dry leaves are heavily floral and bright. Osmanthus is definitely an accurate description of the scent.
Liquor is a beautiful yellow and its scent mellows out to a grassy kind of sweet.
Tastes mild, again quite sweet and surprisingly smooth on the tongue.

This tea has a very pleasant sweet and flowery taste. The flowery taste is not to strong or overpowering as in some bad jasmine teas I've had. It's definitely on the lighter side of the spectrum as far as Oolong teas go. You can easily steep this 2-3 times.

Lovely color and delicate aromas. A lingering and poetically floral taste. I bought this instead of the more expensive Ti Kuan Yin and am pleased with its comparability.

I'm not generally a fan of very floral teas, and this has quite a smell to it, but once brewed it's surprisingly delightful! Not overpowering at all!

This will always be one of my favorite oolong teas. For some reason (to me) it tastes like seaweed? But it's delicious.

Amazing tea, it's plain but tastes amazing, and it's pretty cheap as well!

This is a very good oolong, a nice floral aroma and a lingering taste. Not quite as good on the second infusion of 3.5 minutes but still a very nice tea that I look forward to drinking in the afternoons.

I can't get enough of jade/green oolongs and the price point on this tea is astounding for an everyday version.

I really liked this tea! The texture wasn’t what I expected- it felt much thicker than other teas I have tried. Definitely not unpleasant, though. Opening the package had such a pretty scent, like grass and green apple. The flavor of the tea reminded me a bit of artichoke. I did multiple infusions- the third cup was even better than the first and second. I will definitely be reordering!

A nice mellow tea with a little green taste to it, followed by a little sweetness and very light floral. I made it in my VelociTEA Maker and it's fantastic. 2 thumbs up from me.

May be my new favorite oolong since milk oolong is so expensive. Smells just like honeysuckle.

Reminds me of a rock oolong. Quite green, odd nail polish smell in the bag, but mostly gone after brewing.

I am trying this first as gongfu style, with quick steeps. I’m on my 3rd steep now and wow, this is very good for the money! It’s sweet, but with a light vegetal flavor. The vegetal isn’t bad though, more like stewed asparagus, with butter. It does have that buttery feel, but just so much sweeter than I was expecting. Nicely sweet though. I’ll have to update when I taste this more European style brewing. See how it holds up to the 3 minute steep

Excellent for the price. Holds up surprisingly well in a gaiwan over several steepings. I did short steeps with boiling water. Just vegetal enough without being bitter, just floral enough without tasting like perfume, with nice butter/cream undertones.

What a lovely tea. Tastes very floral and round with a hint of vegetal--the osmanthus and honeysuckle tasting note is right on. Super mild astringency. The leaves come tightly curled and unfurl to beautiful large leaves. A great tea.

Inexpensive, but impressive! Has a mild flower smell and taste, but still retains that classic 'tea' taste, too.

I could just smell this all day. It has a wonderful light slightly floral aroma when brewed and it is a very smooth and calming cup of tea. I wish I had a candle of this. Anyway, this is definitely a new fav!!!
