This tea was nothing short of wonderful. The taste was an interesting mix of both oolong and Darjeeling. It was earthy and sweet with fruity notes of apricot along with a subtle muscat taste that I would expect from a typical Darjeeling. The leaves were also a lot of fun to play with after steeping.

Really enjoying this tea and will buy it again and again. With a toasty, mellow flavor, it's one of the few I've tried that I enjoy as much without milk and sugar, as with.
★★★★☆
I'm new to darjeeling but this feels like a good start! A very fresh, mild, but flavorful tea. Fruity but not in a terribly sweet way.
★★★★★
Tis is a good morning tea for a wake me up, but it doesn't wire me up. This is becoming one I reach for frequently. With just a few drops of liquid stevia extract its a perfect blend.

This is a delicate black tea with delightful flavor. It's a nice contrast to bolder tea like Earl Grey.
★★★★★
Loved it from the first moment I tried it. You won't be disappointed.
★★★★★
Fantastic tea. Great price for an Oolong, and the flavor can't be beat. On a whim I tried it iced and was seriously impressed. If there is only one tea I can take with me it's this one. One of the few teas I can drink all day long, everyday.

The taste of this tea is really good. The smell when you open it up is just amazing.
★★★★☆
I'm not sure what I was expecting from this tea, but I suspect I'll grow to love it in future brews. It's very interesting, and smells amazing. I recommend sampling it first.

A smoother version of yunnan, still a little earthy in taste. Will try steeping a little less next time with a little less tea. The directions on the package said 2 tsp./cup.

In a word, fantastic. Floral and perfumy but not overpowering. One of the few teas I like without sweetener as well as with.

A great staple oolong (and the name is even a pun, how delightful is that!). Absolutely perfect when I want a tea to perk me up (but not leave me too wired)
★★★★★
I don't have much experience with this type of tea, and wasn't sure what I was getting into - I just saw that it had great ratings. Well, I'm glad I bought a sample bag and tried it out. It's amazing, with a robust and flavorful aroma and taste.
★★★★★
I am in love with this tea! It's perfect for re-steeping and even better mixed with an herbal. Will be buying more.

Nothing special about this in my opinion. One of two oolongs I've tried, but I definitely prefer the jade variety. Still a nice, drinkable tea.

An amazing oolong tea with a velvety and full-bodied flavor. I enjoy this more than most black teas. I usually don't like cold oolong but I tried this one cold (after having it hot) just for the hell of it and it was simply sublime. So rich. So smooth. So bold.
★★★★★
This has become my favorite tea. I have many teas to choose from and I reach for this one a lot! It's taste, the smell, everything about this tea is YUM.
★★★★★
I loved this one! I admit I don't usually attempt multiple infusions as I alternate coffee and tea and don't want wet tea leaves sitting around getting funky, I tried with this one and am convinced!
★★★★★
Simple and delicious. I can see this becoming a regular.
★★★★★
This is wonderful. Absolutely delicious and lightly sweet.
★★★★★
What a wonderful tea to wake up to in the morning. Loving it!
★★★★☆
A very nice breakfast tea! It has a nice, pleasant flavor and isn't bitter at all.
★★★★★
What a great tea! A really nice and full flavor, easily one of my favorite teas.
★★★★★
A pretty simple oolong, with a cute name and not quite as strong as ones I've had in the past, which were nearly like dark black teas.
★★★★★
I was really skeptical about this tea, I'm not quite sure why but it is WONDERFUL. Full bodied and smooth and simply delicious! I will definitely repurchase!
★★★★★
Love this. Has a nice toasty/nutty flavor for me.
★★★★☆
I was afraid this would be too light in flavor. It's light, but in a good way. I am a fan of strong black teas, so this is a bit of a departure. Maybe a teaspoon and a half of sugar is enough to flavor the tea and highlight the Muscat tones.

This is a good morning tea for me. Just subtle floral flavors with a hint of fruit.
★★★★☆
This is the first darjeeling I've ever tried, and it's not my favorite tea but I do enjoy it occasionally. The best part is when I'm in the mood for this tea I can make several cups just from one teaspoon.
★★★★★
The oolong is what got me started with them! A great tea that I would definitely recommend.
★★★★★
I used this as a base to make Thai Iced Tea and it worked wonderfully!
★★★★★
I absolutely love Darjeelings, but I'd never tried an oolong before this. I have to say, I am a fan, but I didn't even get to drink much of it because my boyfriend used the majority of my sample! I know what to get him for his birthday now...

this is the first darjeeling tea i've ever tried and i really like it! it took me a minute to get used to the flavor, but once i got over it being different from what i'm used to, i loved it. it's great for multiple infusions, too!
★★★★★
I originally bought this as a gift for a friend (here's hoping she doesn't see this before I give it to her!). She said it was her favorite tea, so it must be pretty delicious!
[Edit] I have since tried it myself... and I am completely in love! It's one of my favorite teas as well!
★★★★★
Very pleasant cup of tea. The first loose leaf oolong I have ever tried, and I was very impressed. I was able to get 3 infusions out of 1.3g of this tea, the third cup was a little weaker/flatter but the first two were great! Would definitely purchase again!
Update: Tried again and this time used 2 grams and steeped for 3 minutes, flavor is very nice, I think ideally for a 6oz cup of this tea one would need to use between 2.4g and 3.0g to get a full bodied flavor. Interesting fruity-floral flavor! Still the only loose-leaf oolong I have tried but I'm definitely interested in trying more!

My absolute favorite tea. It's just the perfect blend of flavors. Lovely and dark.

Very good, love that I can get a number of steeps from it.

I'm not a tea master by any definition of the word, but I have tried other oolong teas before. I much prefer this one, not very strong tasting but with each sip I can distinguish new flavors, and it even lasts for multiple re-steepings. I will likely order again!

Great for several infusions. 2nd and 3rd infusions seem to have a more mellow, enjoyable taste than the first.
★★★★★
This is a very sophisticated, subtly sweet tea. I can see why they refer to darjeeling as 'the champaign of teas' as this really has a sparkling personality.

One of my preferred Adagio Oolong varieties at the present time. It possesses the fruitiness of a Darjeeling and nuttiness of an Oolong. I also combined it in a 2:1 ratio with some of the Adagio Dewy Cherry herbal blend and found the combination of flavors pleasing.
★★★★☆
Very light and soothing, good for a nightly tea. You have to be a fan of green teas or oolong in order to favor this one. But it still caught the eye of some of my friends who tried it for the first time.
★★★★★
Smooooooth tea with layers of flavor. Makes an excellent cup to drink during the night.
★★★★★
. A clean taste and not bitter. One of my faNice earthy taste without being too grassy or bark-likevorites

Not very familiar with teas but I did like the roasted flavor this one had. Steeped 3 times and by third cup, the flavor was just right for me.

This is such a great tea! It was a very nice tea for someone who hasn't had oolong tea before, I'll definitely order this again.
★★★★☆
Great iced tea! I prefer Oolong #8, but this is a nice alternative.
★★★★★
I really enjoyed this oolong. I just got a sampler but will be getting more later.
★★★★☆
Not the most amazing Darjeeling I've ever had but a very good tea all the same!

This tea was OK but I found it a little too bland for my taste. I liked it better once I added peppermint to it.
