One of my favorites! The flavor is great and it is very smooth. 2nd brew is just as great.
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.

One of my favorites! The flavor is great and it is very smooth. 2nd brew is just as great.
This is a very smooth, green oolong. It's a little too grassy for my taste. Does hold up to multiple steepings fairly well.
Not the best oolong I've had, however it may be that I'm not a huge fan of 'grassy' teas. It wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea I guess.
As a greener oolong, the mild oxidation served to bring out a very pleasant floral note, similar to orchid. I found the cup to be very refreshing, and the scent itself reminds me of wild honeysuckle from the creek behind my house. The tea also has stood up well to several resteepings, with the floral notes growing gently with each subsequent infusion. Under sunlight, the tea has the glimmer of rose gold, which is very attractive in a glass cup. The leaves unfurl nicely after the first infusion, and latter infusions continue to bring out a bit more character. A very smooth oolong that I'd recommend for afternoon drinking, it is almost the opposite of brisk.
Very good oolong. Definitely not your ordinary cup of tea. A great alternative when you're in the mood for something different.
This is a really pleasant oolong. It had faint floral scents and tastes to it. It's light, making it really easy to drink, yet it still has a complex taste.
This is my new favorite oolong. I love that it is green. Nice with lemon juice in it. I get 3 steeps or so per serving.
Normally I don't like vegetal teas, but I found this oolong to be fairly pleasant. The aroma is mostly vegetal but also somewhat floral, as is the flavor. A bit of sugar cuts the vegetalness somewhat. It's very smooth and completely without astringency. The leaves are marvelously big, and the second infusion is just as flavorful as the first, but it's vegetal enough that I don't care for it.
I served this to one of my friends and he was certain this was a flavored tea. It is so fruity and floral and fresh. On the second steeping it was much less fruity and more earthy. It has very low astringency.
Brews up to a lovely, pale, yellowish spring green. The leaves are very pretty as they unfurl.
There are some floral notes to the scent, but not so much the taste. The flavor is more bright and mineral and pleasantly grassy.
Delicious, reminds me of a jasmine tea. Excellent hot but actually prefer it iced.
I do love my oolongs, and the Jade Oolong is no exception. Try this, and you'll agree!
Very nice oolong tea. Slight sweet and grassy notes I found. Still have milk oolong as my favorite but out of all the oolong's I've tried so far (lots) this is a close second.
Simple delicious very subtle flowery aroma and fruity finish.
hold its flavor after a few steeping and like some of the best oolongs, it is open after the first infusion...
This is one of the best teas I've had. It's smooth and very drinkable. It's a little on the pricier side, but I think it's worth it.
beautiful floral flavor.. really smooth. my go to oolong!
This was delightful! I got to try my sample today and it was incredibly smooth and calming. I can't wait to try another pot of it.
I like this oolong a lot. It has complex, earthy flavors. The leaves expand to an impressive volume, and they can easily be steeped five or more times.
I wish it were more flavorful, but it's still one of my favorites.
This tea is SO good! It's instantly become one of my favorites. It has a smokey flavor with floral hints that make it delicious. As someone who's been feeling slightly underwhelmed by oolongs, this is a must have.
Can't wait to try this, hope it tastes as good as the reviews say.
This oolong has a grassy smell/taste to it, rather than the toasted notes I am used to. However, it does have the mineral notes that oolongs are so famous for, and I very much enjoy this tea.
Softly sweet and floral, but still earthy. Velvet mouth-feel. Scrumptious!
High quality doom tea. If you haven't experienced Jade, try this one. :3
This is a really nice oolong tea. Sometimes I find oolong a little plain, but the jade gives it a floral flavor and depth that makes for a delicious cup of tea.
A good worktime tea for me. It steeps well multiple times and it has enough caffeine for a bit of a pick me up.
This one had a more delicate flavor than I was expecting and so I brewed it a tiny bit longer than the recommended time. Maybe a minute or so more. It does have an amazing flavor though and I do plan to get this one again. :)
This oolong is fantastic! I've already finished my sample and will be ordering more very soon!
somewhat subtle jade flavor, but the rich oolong taste is breathtaking.
I'm giving this another shot. Perhaps I did burn it last time or I simply used too much product. This time around it doesn't taste so burnt and is a bit smoother. I made sure to use a cooler water and let the water sit for a moment before mixing the leaves in. I hope to try other Oolongs soon to compare.
The first few cups tasted like soap to me, but I tried steeping it at a lower temp (17 ish) and it tastes better. I love that you can re-steep this tea over and over and over again. I brewed at least 4-5 cups and stopped just because I wanted to try something else!
This is a really pleasant, mild oolong. It leans slightly more towards green tea than I was expecting, but certainly not in a bad way.
I'm giving this tea four stars. Not five stars because it's a little bit bland, but not three because I love how many times you can steep it before the leaves are completely unfurled. If you like green tea, you'll most likely enjoy this one, but if you like your tea a little stronger I'd purchase something else. One more thing: I enjoy this tea a lot more when it's cold.
Wow! My new favorite tea! This tea combines all of my favorite tastes from white tea and green tea, and almost seems to bring in a little black flavor too. I usually like Silver needle white tea, White Monkey green tea and Christmas or Earl grey black tea, and somehow this tea seems to bring all of these together for me. Amazing!
One of my favorite ooloongs. I brew this daily in my Harbin teapot gongfu style. I can easily get 7-8 steepings out of it. Very floral and naturally sweet.
Really loved this. Great flavor and color. Will be ordering in the future.
I don't think I'm a fan of jade... but very high quality tea!
I'm a fan of the 'greener' oolongs, so in that respect this was good, but this one was a bit too floral for me... It smells nice, almost reminded me of perfume! Gardenias maybe? But I don't think it will be an every day tea for me. It's something that I really have to be in the mood for. :/ Still tastes OK though--just not one of my favorites.
This tea is fantastic. I was caught off guard by the slightly floral aroma that I somehow failed to notice upon opening, but it was a pleasant surprise. It's a refreshing tea that's reminiscent to a green tea, but perhaps a little sweeter.
I loved this oolong. The flavor is very subtle and gentle, with a wonderful aftertaste that is very light. The leaves were also very pretty when they opened up in the water. A new favorite!
Love this taste. Favorite green Oolong in terms of rich flavor. Wasn't as watery as other teas I tried. Nice deep flavor. But also lacked a thick cream texture I wish it had, so I mix it with Ali Shan for that.
It had a very kind of foresty taste to me, not my favorite but very good.
first attempt at an oolong. It was like a really strong green tea. good though.
From the description, I thought I would love this. And it's ok but a lot more 'green' tasting than I was expecting. The surprise came when I let it get too cool and threw in a couple of ice cubes - this makes fantastic, crisp iced tea!
This has quickly become my favorite oolong. It's a nice, lighter option and just tastes fantastic.
This is a wonderfully complex oolong tea, it has a flavor mostly floral, with just a hint of vegetal notes. It is a tiny bit bitter, but I feel that with the addition of sugar crystals and by altering how I brew it, I will get past this minor flaw in an otherwise fantastic tea. Crisp, tight mouthfeel.
Edit: I got more accustomed to the idiosyncrasies of this tea after the first few cups, so I felt the need to bump it up a star.
Not one of my favorite oolongs - it's got that earthy/planty taste which doesn't do much for me.
A really nice, smooth, floral oolong. Absolutely fantastic. My favorite oolong and one of my top teas.
Awesome! I loved this oolong. It held the strength of an oolong tea with the finish of green tea. It is my go to tea when I am in serious self debate on what I should drink.
This is my least favorite of the Oolongs offered by Adagio. Way too mild. Not much flavor here.
