★★★☆☆

Turns out I am just not a fan of green tea. No matter how much I try and like them, they just are not for me. I will pass this on to a family member who enjoys them more than myself. I just cant get past the vegetal taste.

★★★★★

I absolutely adore this tea! Such a light, delicate flavor that is very reminiscent of honeysuckle. Paired with a floral honey (like Adagio's honey for green tea), it is absolute perfection!

A very delicious tea. I love it as a daily diver. I has the distinct oolong mineral flavor, but feels very balanced and delicate.

There really is not much to say about this tea other than the fact it is very delicate and light, with a nice gentle earthy flavor. It really does give off a honeysuckle essence. It is also a good baseline for other teas as well. Very tasty and affordable.

Golden flower is a great light oolong that mixes well and leaves a pleasant lingering aftertaste. ?it also has a fresh looking color that makes it appetizing before you even take a sip! Thanks adagio!

Low oxidized, very golden in flavor and aroma. Notes of honeysuckle and osmanthus are prevalent. At 180-ish degrees F, it tastes like a bright June meadow. Becomes woodsier but more astringent at higher temperatures.

First time user of this tea. It has been a good consistent oolong, but nothing that really said “wow” this is really good. I like to have a bit more grassyness and nutting notes.

I haven't tried too many Oolong teas, but this one is quite delicious. Its delicate, flowery taste is quite nice, yet robust enough for my palate. I would definitely buy this one again!

This tea is delicious! It has a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a delicately floral taste that's not subtle but not overpowering, either. The colour of it is really alluring also, it fills the cup with a beautiful amber hue. I'm glad I ordered more than just a sample size of this, I could drink it every day!

This tea is a lovely, light tea, perfect for sipping during a leisurely breakfast. It's got a light floral scent and taste, with a hint of sweetness at the end, and stands up well to multiple steepings (even if you've forgotten you have teabags to re-steep and leave them on the counter for a few days!)

I've also found that it's pretty forgiving to accidentally oversteeping which I am prone to do.

Light & Floral- this tea is on par with Ti Kuan Yin without the Ti Kuan Yin prices. To say I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this tea is is an understatement. I have to say the only bad thing about this tea is that I didn't order enough of it. Floral, but not sweet. Light and refreshing.

I like my teas slightly on the darker side, so I let it steep longer than what is recommended. My kettle has Oolong at 190 instead of 195 as well, so it steeped a little bit cooler too.

A very delicious oolong tea that's not as oxidized as other oolong teas. Blooms beautifully when brewed, and tastes close to green tea. Very easy to down many cups of this tea!

Nice clean flavor. Best on the first steeping, need to add fresh leaves for subsequent steeps.

There are delicate and sweet floral notes from this tea. The brewed liquor is a light golden color, and has a subtle finish. I can see why honeysuckle was chosen to describe the taste since it is both floral and sweet without having some of the juicy notes or strong floral tones like a jasmine tea. The tea leaves expand in the typical oolong fashion, and I can get 3 quality steeps out of one serving of leaves, with the final and third steep at 4-5 minutes.

Oolongs are consistently my favorite to sip on while working and this tea is not an exception. It has a bit of natural sweetness to it and the floral is just about right.

I love this tea! Hot or iced, it's a winner. Lovely fragrance and taste of honeysuckle. Doesn't need sweetening, but a little is a very nice compliment.

I'd never really had Oolong tea before trying this, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. The smell was a bit weird to me but once it cooled enough for me to try it, I fell in love! It's got an almost herbal, flowery flavor, and it's soft on the mouth & stomach without being astringent. I used sugar in mine but it's pretty naturally sweet, so even if you usually add sugar you don't need much. Definitely a new favorite.

I don't enjoy this as much as the Jade Oolong, but overall I'm glad I branched out and tried new things.

First time I tried one of Adagio's teas. This was... beyond expectations. A pale gold liquor seeped from the leaves in my mug, and beautiful delicate floral flavours that lingered on the back of the palate. You want to give this as much space as you can to brew to treat yourself to the sight of the whole leaves unfurling in your mug. Tastes as if it should cost much more. Brews easily twice at time and temperature well and can justify a third if you double the time and up the temp a bit. Will definitely order more.

I like it a lot. Mellow floral tasty and smooth. It's good for two steeps, but if you really wanted you might be able to get three.

A traditional Oolong, full of flavor and bold. Flavors of honey and cream with a long lasting flavor profile. Definitely recommend.

Just received this oolong today and glad I purchased it. When first smelling this tea the floral scent is present but not over powering. A smooth but strong finish. It was very nice after an evening walk.

Start here if you are new to oolong! This makes an excellent cup with many steeps from the same initial scoop! Probably my favorite pure oolong.

This is one of my favorite teas from adagio. It has a light taste and is a wonderful pick-me-up in the afternoons. The aroma is very nice and floral. It has a very slight sweetness that remains for multiple infusions!
