Golden Flower Customer Reviews

june 2024: yep, still special. Really enjoying as afternoon pick me up

agree that this reminded me of certain green teas, the 'toasty straw' thing that I like... and that the floral scent was like jasmine but different/lighter. Not sure I would have picked up on honeysuckle had I not read reviews. Steeped it 3 min because I got distracted, still mild and delicious. a little sweetener brings out the flavor I think but you don't need it. I actually think there isn't much flavor at all but it's very pleasant. A nice post-yoga cup of tea.

Was hoping for more robust and lasting flavor out of this tea than it yielded in the end. I will be sticking to the Fujian Orchid for such matters in the future

Very nice tea. I can usually steep this lovely oolong 3 times. I love this complex floral and warmth of this oolong. I order regularly.

Enjoyed this one a few days ago. It allows the delicious flavor of oolong to take center stage, with a lovely golden color and appealing aroma. I add a touch of sugar to all of my teas, and this is no different. Truly a keeper, and I'll be ordering a larger size next time.

Golden Flower isn’t a bad tea but for me it’s not enough to buy it again

Delicious floral notes on this one! I had not really read any of the description and only purchased a sample of it because of the name. I would order a larger bag when I run out.

Love this stuff. It's not too green, a little floral, a tiny bit dry. Feels like the last flowers of summer in a cup of a tea.

Beautiful, smooth oolong for day-to-day drinking. I bought this on sample to try initially, and promptly decided to have it on hand as my regular oolong blend. Less bitter notes than some of the others that I've tried, and has a wonderful floral undercurrent that honors its name.

Floral and slightly sweet aroma and taste. Good for multiple steepings. I really like this tea, and recommend it.

This tea lives up to the discrption. I like oolong teas. The savory not sweet taste of this one is welll rounded. I put a bit of raw honey in just because im a big fan of honey and it pairs well. I just recently stepped up my tea game. Out of the 6 samples I started with this was the first one I finsihed and Its on my reorder list. I don't do 5 starts lightly, maybe after I have tried more to compare it to I will give it a 5 because I DO LIKE this one.

I love this oolong. Very gentle and tasty. A good introduction to Oolongs for someone used to green teas, in my opinion.

Good nut like tones and very smooth. Excellent late morning beverage.

It’s fantastic! Easily one of my new top three. It’s almost sweet and reminds me of some green teas.

I really like the taste of this, its light but holds its own against whatever else you may add. It's very gentle, and doesnt make you feel jittery.

Great taste. Highly recommend. Pleasant fragrance.

Phenomenal oolong tea. This being said, steep for longer than given on the packaging. I found that it improved the cup, by strengthening the great flavors. Adjust your brewing temp slightly to balance out the bit of bitterness you may get from an extended steep.

Sweet, melon, low astringency, great price. Definitely worth the look, especially if you're new to oolongs

Let me get this out of the way - I cannot taste things like a normal person so I will refrain from describring tastes however, this is good tea...
As someone that frequented Teavana years ago I loved the monkey picked oolong. When searching for this, Golden Flower popped up so I researched both the tea and the company. Bought some and enjoyed, as usual. Now my directions LOL:
I have an old Teavana steeping mug - similar to the ones sold here (actually the same thing.) I use a clear kettle and a clock.
Bring the water ( which has been sitting for over 2 hours) just where you see small bubbles forming at the bottom and starting to rise. Remove from heat. Don't ask but somewhere close to about 170° ~ 190°
Pour into cup with a heaping table spoon of tea - steep 3 minutes.
Enjoy :-P
Why do I add a heaping tablespoon you ask? I get about five cups from this.
After steeping, I put the steeping cup in the fridge. 5 mornings of enjoyment.
I do not add anything but my lips to the cup and slirping noises... Hey I'm not a complete adult
Thank You Adagio!

Most people I know dislike the floral taste but this tea has just the right amount of floral. It taste great

I quite enjoyed this tea! It has a very mild, enjoyable flavor. It tastes of green tea with floral hints and just a little bit of astringency. I highly recommend it!

I ordered this on its own after trying it in the oolong sampler and adore its presence in my rotation ...smooth, light, aromatic. A great tea for when I'm ready to level down from the caffeine in my early morning black tea.

Good hot tea that really warms you up on a cold day.

very smooth green oolong with strong floral notes and natural sweetness. like a great oolong should, it holds up to multiple steepings, and it's, well, great

This tea is a sensuous burst of flavor. Rich, kind of woodsy; I highly recommend. Perfect hot drink on a cold day kind of tea.

Really lovely. It has a nice smooth flavor with a bit of sweetness. Great afternoon mellow flavored tea.

The Golden Flower oolong really produces a delightful cuppa. Complex finish, a little on the sweet side, but not overly so, and not much astringency. I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out as well as trying the other highly rated oolong teas Adagio and their Masters site sell.

Its a great tea, and the first oolong I ever tried.
Aside from being great by itself, it was wonderful in bubble tea!

My favorite oolong. Very nice flavor with a bit of pepper for your daily activities.

A truly wonderful oolong on the green side. Strong floral notes, a hint of mineral, very smooth. Holds up to two brews. After a small sample of this, I bought some more.

It was a decent tea. I could drink it again. Not every day 😊

This is a nice smooth oolong tea that can be steeped multiple times. There is no bitterness and no need for a sweetener.

I prefer more oxidized oolongs and this one is too grassy for me. Green tea drinkers will probably love this one.

This tea seams to lean more on the green side with its slight vegetal tones but also has a light, floral taste that is smooth with its own distinctive taste. I was glad that I was able to try this one.

I didn't know what to expect with this tea, as I had a sample from a while ago put away, and it came with my communitea, so trying it was a strange experience. Oolong teas are some of my absolute favorite types of teas. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved oolong...but even though this is an oolong tea, it doesn't have the classic oolong taste to me. It was very floral and different. The experience of it though isn't marred by that, I just can't say that I see it as an oolong, even if it is an oolong. It's a great tea though, and honestly I wish I had a lot more of it. It's very floral and light, an easy tea to drink without sugar or honey or anything really, which is saying something coming from me, because I love to do 2 teaspoons of sugar in each mug of tea I have. Even cold, this is a delicious tea.

This is a great tea. I enjoyed it. I brewed it hot at the recommended temperature and time and let it cool.

A warm and floral oolong. Picked up on some of the creaminess, but I don't like floral flavors. I even tried a second seep. Not for me.

Adagio has so many lovely oolongs to enjoy. This one is a light, faintly mineral tea with a hint of floral as well.

I'm definitely an oolong novice, but I enjoyed this one. The flavor was understated, but in the best way. Delightful over ice.
