This is my new favorite oolong. It is buttery and vegetal, an everyday treat.
Lightly oxidized oolong from Nantou county, Taiwan. Similar in style to Tung Ting, its tightly rolled leaves slowly unfurl through several steepings. Jade oolong is loved for its fresh green-floral aroma, sweet flavor, and delicate texture.

This is my new favorite oolong. It is buttery and vegetal, an everyday treat.
It looks like Ti kuan yin, but smell and taste not as good.
It worth the price and fresh.
taste very close to tie guan yin. only a little weak.
I use this tea in a blend for my home made kombocha. It turns out wonderful!
Great taste and feel. Very smooth and not to bitter
Pretty light and I did not enjoy it as much as others. I like a stronger tea and guess I need to stick with those.
This was my first oolong (to my recollection), and the flavor is sensational. Definitely develops over extra steepings. If you throw these leaves out after one use, you are wasting this delicious tea and your money.
A very interesting oolong with a flowery aroma and sweet taste. (
I got this as a sample. Great taste. Would buy again.
Found this sweeter than I would have expected but still a delicious oolong. Give it a little extra steep!
I love that this tea is so good, no need for sugar, yet it's not sweet like pouch one. Lifts my afternoon without calories.
Love this. This is the best oolong on adagio by far. The other oolong tastes too earthy to me. This tastes very similar to the Formosa pouchong and has a similar veggie- floral smell.
This was the first oolong I thought that Oolong is good to drink tastewise, as well. Has some grassy taste but that's the way I like it.
This has been my daily drinking tea for several months. It has a very nice aroma in the cannister and in the cup. It's nothing amazing, but for the price it's a very dependable cup of oolong. It has a nice hint of honey sweetness, more in the aroma than the mouth. I tend to give it a little extra time to develop some astringency, but that might be a bit over-steeped for other's preferences. It is a bit sensitive on steeping temps and timing, but not so much that you can easily ruin the cup. With usually 5 or 6 full steepings, one pot will last all morning or afternoon.
Fantastic tea! I'm currently using this tea in brewing kombucha, but I love it just by itself. Even if brewed too long it still has great flavor.
My wife loved this but I am not as much of a fan of green teas. It did have a very good smell, almost perfume like.
Wasn't expecting to like this but due to a restriction on caffeine, I decided to give it a try. I honestly love the smooth flavor and will be ordering it from now on.
Love this as an alternate to Ti Kuan Yin. I drink both of these on a routine basis. I prefer to steep a bit longer (5 minutes) to make a stronger and bolder flavor. Not as good on second infusion.
I'm not very well versed in tea yet but I loved this oolong.
This is the first oolong tea I have tried, but it was really nice, very similar to higher grade teas like Formosa, but at a better price point.
very strong acidic taste but absolutely works for speeding up metabolism and cleaning out your system!!! Lost 7 pounds in 9 days
I am totally hooked on Oolong and this one is very good.
My husbands favorite so much so we bought a one pound bag! Slightly sweet and mellow when brewed at 165 f. Refreshing for any time of the day.
Very bold, unique flavor to this oolong. Slight seaweed flavor as others mention. however I enjoy the flavor and drink it on a daily basis.
Delightfully palatable. Smoothly refreshing , try it! You will love it.
The Jade Oolong was good, and it was not overly strong. While it was an enjoyable tea, there are others I would recommend, such as the Formosa Oolong.
Pretty good tea. I am not crazy about the flavor, but none the less, it is good.
A little too seaweedy for me - not a big fan of oolong, and this one isn't bad, but there's an aftertaste I can't get past. Don't pass it up based on what I think - others love it - and maybe as a blend it would be nice.
This is a very good oolong. Don't overbrew though, as it easily gets too strong to really continually enjoy. A great every day cup.
Had forgotten this tea and included it in variety-gift I got for my daughter. She is cutting back on caffeine for breast feeding and really enjoys this fragrant, light, re-steep able option. It is one I'll reorder
I love oolong tea and this was just fantastic! The flavor was delicious, I would definitely get it again.
I'm updating this review cause I actually think this might be my very favorite tea. I recently re-experienced this tea when I made a cup on a sleepy crazy dragging day at work and something about the clean, green, but bold earthy flavor of this tea brought me to a very good place where I felt very grounded but super powerful! That sounds nuts but I'm really crazy about this tea
This tea is pretty fresh and earthy tasting. I just started exploring more oolongs, and like what I have had so far.
I mix this with a little Irish breakfast leaves, add a little honey, and it is wonderful.
My husband doesn't generally drink tea, but he does like oolong when he's sick. I ordered this in order to try out a different flavor of oolong. I found it to be decent, but my husband didn't like it as much as he likes 'standard' oolong flavors.
Just one of those good basic teas that I like to have in my cabinet when I'm tired of flavors. Also tastes great with a few chrysanthemum flowers thrown in if I decide I want a little floral with my vegetal.
good solo or blended with others my girlfriend doesn't like it straight with or w/o sugar/ cream or milk etc
Tasty green oolong, especially for price. When steeped gong fu style, it gives about 3 to 4 cups for 2 teaspoons, with the second and third to most memorable due to the aroma and floral taste.
I really like oolong tea and this one is really good.
My favorite green tea from adagio.com. Highly recommend!
The jade oolong made a very light cup and tasted quite green-- I prefer a darker oolong, but this was a nice green tea.
I think the description doesn't quite do this tea justice. It's really more so a green tea than an oolong. It had a very interesting flavor though. Not quite as shallow as some greens can be, but not quite as black-tea-tasting as some oolongs can be.
Very floral scent! It fills my office with the smell of sweet Jade flowers and it's absolutely amazing! It's a nice pick-me-up in the afternoons. A light green tea, it's still vegetal but less so than the others.
Is a great tasting green oolong to be just what I was hoping for
It is much greener than any other oolong that I tried, one of my favorites
Reminds me of the Chinese oolong tea my mom used to brew for me when I was a kid. Wakes you right up and cleanses the soul.
I love oolong tea, but I kind of thought that I wouldn't like this one because of the jade part. But then, everyone was raving about it, so I figured I would try the sample. Except that, I really didn't like this at all. It has that 'green' vegetal taste, like a green tea, did not work for me.
As others before me have stated, this is a solid good tea, but the fact that it is so good at such an affordable cost thanks to Adagio, it definitely warrants a great ranking.
sort of strong, its nice but you have to be in the mood for a 'big' tea.
Full bodied, nicely balanced, just a delicious brew. Good price, this is my highest Adagio recommend.
