Ooooh Darjeeling Customer Reviews

Very rare oolong from Singbulli Estate, Darjeeling, India. Muscat grape and apricot pit aroma (also the mark of fine Darjeeling black teas). Dried fruit flavor, lingering floral notes. A lesson in 'terroir': the place where the tea is grown.

★★★★☆

This is a nice, smooth darjeeling. Not quite oolong-y enough for my tastes, nor is it darjeeling enough for my tastes. This would probably go well with honey or lemon.

★★★★★

This is a really great tea with lots of delicate flavors. The black tea is not as strong as anticipated with most black teas. Instead this tea allows the more subtle flavors and fragrances to delight the drinker. It tastes like the perfect blend of honeysuckle and melon in tea form.

★★★★★

Thoroughly enjoyed the taste in the first, second, and third cups. It has a very good level of flavor for one who enjoys bolder tastes. Definitely one I will keep in my short list of teas that I want to keep in stock.

This was my first oolong tea. It was very good. You can smell the fruity aroma as described. It has a good flavor to it. I did notice that it got bitter very quickly. I forgot I was steeping this tea and after just a few minutes over the recommended time, it went bitter.

★★★☆☆

This wasn't my favorite, but I'm glad I got a sample to try. The flavor was kind of flat, but I will play around with the amount of tea I use next time to see if I get better results.

★★★★★

Love the slightly floral flavor. Great afternoon or evening up of tea.

★★★★☆

a sweet and fragrant dark tea that's a great alternative to black tea

★★★★☆

Nice complex flavor, added sugar and milk for a treat!

★★★☆☆

Not my type of tea,has a little bitter aftertaste,I recommend to try sample first.

★★★★☆

Like this, tangy but with Floral notes. Would try again

★★★★★

Fantastic. One of my favourite teas. Perhaps not something for every day, but yummy.

★★★★☆

Nice deep flavor without bitterness for those who like stronger tasting teas.

★★★★☆

This isn't particularly strong but it has a wonderfully subtle taste.

★★★★★

Great oolong, similar to puttabong summer but much more oolongy. If you like darjeelings, you will like this.

★★★★★

a very smooth delicious flavor. my coworkers loved this one

★★★★★

This is one of the fruitier teas that I've come across that doesn't actually have any sort of flavor infusion. From an aroma standpoint it smells like a light melange of fruit that, once brewed, mellows into a lovely undertone to the traditional oolong flavor profile.

★★★★★

I thought I had found a good Darjeeling in Lipton Green Label. Once I tasted this, I realized that the Lipton Darjeeling was actually awful and dirty. This was an unexpected pleasant combination.

★★★★☆

Good tea, but not very memorable or a must order for me.

★★★☆☆

A good but largely unremarkable black tea. Not bad, but not nearly as memorable as many other teas offered by Adagio.

★★★★☆

This was a very interesting tea. I had a hard time imagining what darjeeling and oolong would taste like, but after the first sip, it made complete sense. I enjoyed this tea, but I think I prefer strictly oolong or darjeeling as opposed to them being mixed.

★★★★☆

I expected this tea to be much smoother than it is, but the taste is very nice.

★★★★☆

Definitely tasted the floral, almost honey-like notes. Didn't have any of that roasted or mineral flavors I'm accustomed to with oolongs. Had a tiny bit of astringency too, like the black teas do. It was enjoyable, but not a favorite.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

this is my fave, been drinking it for years and hope it will always be available.

★★★★★

Have tried several oolongs now with mixed results. This is my favorite so far. Love black tea so this is a nice mix with some very subtle flavors. I detect a hint of cinnamon, but otherwise most of the other flavors I'm still trying to parse out. Nice aftertaste as well. Holds up pretty well on 2nd steeping flavor wise.

★★★★★

This tea is great! Follow the directions and you will enjoy this tea. Worth the price. I drink this tea both hot and over ice.

★★★★☆

In the bag, I could smells a wine or grape like scent. It has an earthy taste, but is a bit different than other oolongs I have had. I can't put my finger on it, but it is a really lovely tea.

★★★★☆

Definitely fruity, a little woodsy. Not my taste, but nice quality.

★★★★☆

I found this tea bitter following the brewing instructions on the package. Brewing it for only 2-3 minutes at a lower temperature (190-195 degrees) allowed the floral and fruity notes to come through without being masked by bitterness.

★★★☆☆

Not quite like 'real' darjeeling but it is a nice tea with a subtle and unique flavor.

★★★★★

A simple delicious tea, good for any time of the day.

★★★★☆

Very enjoyable cup of tea. Smooth and mellow. Would recommend.

★★★★★

I really liked it. it had a very pure, clean taste and was very relaxing.

★★★★★

Darjeeling is becoming a regular flavor around this household. This is great stuff.

★★★★★

Easily my favorite from my first group of teas ordered from Adagio. Berry flavor and aroma, super fruity with light to medium body and no astringency. Will certainly order again, although my co-worker just ordered a batch and said it was not as full-flavored as mine. Must have gotten a good one!

★★★★★

Like a luscious white wine, I enjoyed every infusion like it was the first. Something a little different, one of my favorite Adagio oolong offerings.

★★★★★

LOVE this tea. It has great flavor, and is fruity but not bitter. One of my favorite black teas.

★★★★★

a very smooth oolong tea. I like the taste better than most other oolong teas.

★★☆☆☆

Very astringent. I was disappointed. The astringent mouth feel detracts from any other flavor sense I tried to get. More expensive, and may be unique as described, but not on my buy again list. I'll use it up by mixing small amounts with other teas.

★★★★☆

Nice flavor, not overwhelming. This would make a good everyday tea.

★★★★☆

a nice light darjeeling tea! very good for winter!

★★★★★

Love this! Even with re-steeping the sample was gone in one day :o Actually I might even like the second steep of this better than the first. Pricy for me, but will have to add to the rotation.

★★★★☆

A classically great 'afternoon-y' tea that pairs perfectly with the addition of sweetener and creamer, if said pairings are to your tea liking. There's just something about a darjeeling tea that *works,* tea-wise, something that's locked away in the memory of my first cup of traditional British high tea, or something about the cool, calming scent of the leaves, or something involved with how well this tea pairs with anything served beside it. Very nice.

Simply divine. A tea that I always want available to drink in the morning, afternoon or evening! I used 2.5 grams of tea to 6oz water.

4 min steep · 200°F

★★★★☆

maybe I should give this a 'great' rating, but I will say it is really good, and quite a surprise ... I was not expecting the pervading flavor of vanilla, so I wonder, were vanilla leaves mixed in? or is this just an effect created by oolong Darjeeling? Either way, quite nice. Different, too.

5 min steep · 205°F

★★★★★

Wonderful flavor - either alone or added to a flavored tea.

★★★★☆

Very nice oolong, very very yummy. I could drink this all day!

1 min steep · 212°F

★★★☆☆

Not a bad tea, but the earthiness was just not what I was looking for in an oolong or darjeeling.

★★★★★

I actually enjoyed this tea more than I thought I would. When you open the bag it is a somewhat strong earthy smell. I was not sure what to expect. When brewed, it was a pleasent soft, floral, slightly sweet flavor. A very nice tea!

★★★★★

Flavorful and nice, i like to make it strong and add some rock sugar.

★★★★★

This is an amazing oolong at a price that can't be beat
