Delicious. Flavorful and fragrant, bright and floral, yet with a kind of dark richness... somehow it tastes like rain.
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.

I'm not a big fan of vegetable-tasting teas, and the first time I had this I didn't like it at all. A shorter steep time and slightly lower temperature made it a lot sweeter, balancing out the green tea flavor and keeping it from overheating and tasting like garbage. I ended up enjoying it a lot. It also meant it resteeped like crazy- 2tsp in a 6-7oz cup and I was drinking tea for about two and a half hours. I wasn't counting cups but it was probably approaching 15 or so.
I could have swear this tastes like it has jasmine in it. Not a fan of Jasmine and the description did not make it sound like it should have a jasmine smell/taste.
This is another one I got mainly for mom than me. She is always looking for new types of teas and green teas have been her favorite. I also tried it and it is a nice mellow tea for after a long day at work.
I felt the brewing instructions for this were off. Made with the given instructions the tea was way too strong and almost bitter. Brewed more gently- 1tsp for 8oz at 185 degrees for 3 min- it was better. But still didn't knock my socks off- I prefer the soft flowers of the pouchongs.
I was turned off by the smell but once I tasted it I realized it was fantastic. I have just started to grow a liking for oolong and so far this one is my favorite.
For those who just can't decide whether or not they want a green or an oolong, this tea is PERFECT.
This is a little heavy on the jade for my taste.
This oolong may have replaced jasmine green tea as my favorite. It has a light floral taste to it and is very smooth.
Just the name Jade prompted me to try this tea and I'm so happy that I did.
This is the first oolong I've ever tasted, and I may just be a convert now. The taste is mildly like green tea, but with the depth and undertones similar to pu erh. There's a mild floral quality reminiscent of jasmine or gardenia. Very delicious.
Simple jade oolong for every day use. I love this tea!
I haven't found an oolong I liked in a very long time, but this one is fantastic. I try to avoid adding anything to my tea, so it's nice having an oolong that doesn't need sugar.
I bought this in a sample size, but it's such a nice, refreshing green tea that I'll probably get the full size one too. Clean, crisp and delicious.
My sister really enjoyed this tea. She was curious of how it would taste but definitely liked it!
Overall it's very good, the only thing stopping it from being great is that it doesn't live up to the price.
Loved the subtle flavor. Reminded me of being in China
Sweet, almost grassy on the tongue. It's similar to a green tea, but has the fullness and body of an oolong.
Fresh green flavor, and the floral notes are soft and somehow plush at the same time. It's a light tea that manages to coat and fill your mouth while you drink it. There might be the barest, ghostly hint of citrus in it as well, like lemon shortbread.
Remember to do a 30 second flush or it'll taste like plastic. Floral, light but substantial. I steeped this 4 times before it got too watery for my taste. Drank it all day one day.
Nice favors. Very deep color. Be prepared as the leaves expand quite a bit. Will try a couple more brews of this tea at varying temps and times before passing final judgement.
While this oolong is a bit more green than how I typically think of oolongs, it has a great smooth flavor that I really enjoy. I think it's great alone but you could probably add some herbals to it for some variety if you crave variety :) I definitely recommend it but I'm not sure I'm going to be sharing this one... .D
This tea is great for any occasion. It has a great vegetal undertone with lots of interesting flavors that come out with each additional steep.p
I wasn't really expecting much when I ordered a sample, but WOW! You can really taste the quality!
Really nice. Very herbal at the start with a floral finish. Good on a second steep as well.
Definitely lighter than some I've had, but it's a solid oolong.
I think this is one of my favorite teas I've yet to come across. I don't know how to describe it other than it tasted very clear. it was also a little vegetal and rich, and I found myself enjoying it with dinner. I would recommend it to green tea lovers.
This tea was awesome! It was kind of floral and not at all bitter.
Typical oolong. Light and refreshing. Smells great. I like it.
I really liked this jade oolong, very easy, not too strong of an oolong, would be a good place for those new to oolong to start, IMHO.
First seeing the tightly rolled tea, I thought the recommended 2 heaping tsps was alot of tea but it's not. The fragrance reminds me of a green tea but the taste is nice and light and not was I expected from the scent of it. Out of those 2 tsps I got 5 cups of tea. I'll definitely by more of this!!
This is my current go to tea, I love the flavor and drink it throughout the day. Multiple steeps recommended.
One of the first instances in which I tried oolong and it was brilliant. A definite clean taste.
Oh, goodness. This tea. Subtle and soft, this oolong only gets better with multiple steeps. By far my favorite oolong tea, ever. Watching the leaves unfurl through the steeps is a singular delight.
I just started ordering on Adagio and decided to grab a bunch of different sample bags and I have to say, Jade Oolong has to be one of the best teas I've tasted in a long time.
Personally I dont enjoy this tea. It is a little bland and doesnt have any distinct features in taste that would make me want to repurchase it.
I am such a sucker for these green oolongs. This one is no exception. It's got a really nice sugary sweetness, even without sugar. It offers some pleasant floral notes as well. It smells amazing in the bag and in the cup.
Very nice flavor. I brewed this tea for the full five minutes, next time I might go a little longer as I prefer my tea strong.
Very floral and fresh tasting, no unlike a jasmine green tea.
a very refreshing and subtle oolong. not overpowering and a wonderful introduction to oolongs.
In my opinion this was kind of bland, but my fiance enjoyed it so I will most likely buy it again.
This tea is really mellow if you don't over-brew it and tastes very earthy.
Very nice good-quality oolong - great for eating with chinese takeout. I brewed it for about three minutes and it was a little weak for my taste, but I'm guessing it'll be perfect if steeped a bit longer.
My favorite of all the oolong teas, this tea is so rich in flavor, has a very nice hint of floral to it, and lingering smoky notes at the end, just amazing. I will be buying more.
Complex - floral - and with a fruity undertone. 2nd and 3rd seepings as good as the first. My only complaint is it went too fast.
I liked this alot, its slightly sweet and enjoyed it with a little bit of sugar
Very good, strong, earthy flavor. This is definitely a good oolong to have as a stand alone cup of tea.
A nice green oolong. Very smooth and not bitter. It's vegetal and slightly floral with a natural sweetness. One of the best oolongs I've tried.
Smells lovely. tastes bland. Like a ghost of a green oolong - wafts of jasmine-ish gardenia yet only a bit of vaguely vegetal and saltiness in the cup.
An exceedingly fine tea for an evening when your not going to bed early or late afternoon pick me up. Stands up well the sweets and probably work for tea time.
