This tea has a lovely golden liquor, however, the flavor falls a little flat. I was careful about brewing time and temperature, but it was still kind of bitter when it was hot. After it cooled down a few degrees, it did get better. Still not my favorite oolong, but it s a good option for when I don t want to buy a really expensive one.
Great introduction to Oolong tea. The second and third steep have more flavor than the first so be sure to steep more than once before judging the taste for yourself.
tastes like Chinese restaurant tea. simple but really good
This tea is fantastic - a delicate oolong tea with a pale amber color and a fragrance that is really pleasing.
A very mature floral taste. Somewhat buttery and a fair bit sweet as an oolong, and reminiscent of some green teas. Very good for an occasional dabble. Not exactly for everyday use, but delicious nonetheless.
A wonderful tea that everyone can enjoy! And cheap too!
Every tea I've tried from Adagio always has me saying 'Wow this is my new favorite tea!' and I'm right, they're all my favorites but Golden Flower stands out to me the most. It smells amazing and it's (in my opinion) the best tea for occasional drinkers.
Buttery and flowery with honeysuckle, and a sweet taste. Great tea for multiple infusions gong fu style
Wonderful green oolong with a delicult and delicious taste.
Very good oolong tea! Nice light flavor and the leaves can be brewed more than once.
good stuff - pretty good value for the money and would purchase again
I'm currently sipping a cup of Golden Flower and struggling to describe it. I love how the leaves slowly unfurled; looking at my tea strainer now I can easily brew another cup or two before the leaves are fully open, which is nice compared to my other oolongs that aren't rolled like this is. The flavor is different from other general oolongs I've had over the years (perhaps smoother, a bit more 'green' maybe?), yet at the same time it tastes uncannily like the memory of the first oolong I ever had a decade ago at a small restaurant in Mitsuwa. I'll definitely be reordering this when my sample runs out, or picking it up at one of the Chicago stores if it's in stock.
Gave this one as a Christmas gift, the recipient already plans to order more.
Favorite oolong to date. Bought it because it was cheap but if I didn t know I would have thought it was more expensive
This is a nice, light oolong, with a delicate sort of floral honey taste. There s nothing particularly startling or complex about it. It has a pleasant aroma, and a good flavor (albeit a tad unenthusiastic for lack of a better term), but I prefer the more vibrant ti kuan yin over this one.
difficult to hit the sweet spot for steeping. but if you hit the sweet spot, it s great.
A little flowery, but not overpoweringly so. Nice for a change of pace from my usual teas.
Great tea - floral & delicate with strong jasmine notes. Needed a slightly longer steep (probably 4 minutes)
Delicious light, honey floral taste. A great oolong for beginners and seasoned drinkers alike. In my top 3 oolong teas.
So different form any oolong I ve tasted. The flavor is light, delicate, and floral.
I don't even know where to start...This tea is incredible, it is most likely the best tea I have ever drank in my entire life, if you like oolong's on the lighter side than this is going to be a real treat. Careful not to brew to hot and I steep a little longer than recommended. This leaf will yield a very floral smooth almost sweet flavor, its excellent for anytime of the day and I highly recommend this to anyone, whether your a seasoned oolong veteran or are saying 'what's an oolong' as your reading this.
This is one of my favorite oolong teas. I can get a hint of honey right near the end. I'll defiantly be reordering this tea!
The description had me at osmanthus and Fujian region, I love this sweet and gentle oolong. It is mild but a wonderful daily tea and can be infused at least 3 times. Excellent tea for such a low price.
Has an almost jasmine smell to it. Not all that complex of a flavor, but it does what it does well and it is amazing for the price
Our new favorite! Smooth and floral similar to jasmine. Will be buying again!
I love the light and cheery flavor. The jasmine undertones are delicate but distinct..
Aptly named- this is very floral smelling and tasting. It's mild and floral and smooth tasting. The smell is floral- and though I sensed a bit of astringency in the scent of the tea- there is none when drinking. It's pleasant and smooth, and I got 2 good steeps out of it. I would've preferred a bit more sweetness to blend with the floral taste- instead of just straight flowers- which is why I gave this a 4 instead of a 5. I would purchase this again.
Wonderful oolong. Slight grassy smell upon opening (which I love) and a very mild taste. Slightly earthy, slightly floral, and incredibly beautiful.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but every time I brew it , it's week and kinda mild?
Very floral and sweet, almost as though it were scented with jasmine or osmanthus. For a light oolong the 'green' aspect is very subtle, which in my opinion improves the overall flavor, and it has a fuller body than other teas of this type.
smooth and light, crisp, green, beautiful honey flavor with floral notes. firs time ive bought a tea i intended to steep for multiple infusions. was not disappointed
Light, honey and floral flavors. Very crisp and green- a good intro Oolong. Good for multiple infusions.
This is a really nice light oolong tea, it tastes a bit like honey and is very smooth.
oolong lovers unite ! this is so delicate and floral love it !
Smooth and light oolong - especially for the price! Good for 3-4 steeps (I do 185, 185, 195, 200). Delicious, slightly more on the vegetal side than I was expecting, but certainly not grassy.
