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.

★★★★☆

Smooth and flavorful. A wonderful addition to my ever growing tea collection. Thanks Adagio!

★★★☆☆

Definitely did not brew this tea correctly, as I was unable to taste any of the flavors said to be in the tea. The smell is wonderful, though. Hopefully a better brew next time will make me love this tea as much as many of the other reviewers.

★★★★★

My first oolong, and what an excellent one! It has a very nice, mild flavor, with a bit of a natural sweetness to it. It has a bit of a green tea naturalness to it at the end...it's hard to explain, but it's lovely. Was great plain when hot, and then when I accidentally let it go cold, it was still pretty tasty!

This is just ok. Tastes like the typical darjeeling with a green taste of Oolong.

This tastes like a very traditional tea and is quite refreshing.

I am very fond of this tea, which was mild and fruity. It had a complex mixture of flavors which kept me guessing while I drank it.

★★★★☆

I like the fruity and sweet flavor of this tea.It's aroma is really good. It is good having it hot or cold. I will definitely buy this tea again. I would drink it whenever I want something different from a black or green tea.

My favorite of the oolongs, well priced for what you are getting, this is my go to morning tea

I haven't found an oolong I didn't like and this one was fabulous! Very full bodied and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

★★★★★

I usually drink tea with milk and honey, but I omitted the milk this time as I can't think of an oolong in milk being appealing to me.

This though was wonderful with just honey added. Very much enjoyed it.

★★★☆☆

Can't say I'm a fan of oolong after tasting this tea. Of course that's probably just my taste buds, but I think I'll stick with the black and green teas from now on.

★★☆☆☆

I just may not be a darjeeling person but I found this to be very bitter and the sweetening it didn't seem to help

★★★★★

The flavor is so subtle and smoothe. I like this tea any time of day and enjoy it iced as much as I do hot!

★★★★★

This is super tasty! I am new to the unflavored teas, and this one so far stands out to me. Nutty, a tad spicy, and a bit fruity. I prefer it warm.

★★☆☆☆

A very mediocre tea. Doesn't really fulfill the 'oolong style' claim and just feels like a lightly oxidized medium-grade Darjeeling.

This is a great tea! It is smooth, slightly dry, and very good on its own.

This is my favorite of the oolong teas I've tried on this site. I got the sampler first and then ordered the bigger size of this one. It's just a great oolong tea, with a mix of subtle woodsy flavors that I really enjoy. It's a plainer tea, but still has complex flavors.

Good oolong tea. Pretty smooth flavor and pleasant with out adding anything. Looked kinda like twigs tho haha.

★★★★★

This is some of the best tea I have ever tasted. The smell is reminiscent of dried fruit and cardamon. This is truly a tea from India, and if you want to experience the taste of India, look no further.

Delicious!! The apricot flavor really comes through and there is a definite mouthfeel compared to other more common teas. Order again and again!!

★★★★☆

At this time, it was a bit weak. I also put in slightly less than one tsp. When I brew this again, I'm going to put in more of the leaves. Despite its weakness, it has a good taste to it.

Pleasantly surprised. I love this tea. I am new to loose leaf tea drinking and the whole process can be a little overwhelming. Like picking the right wine to match your meal! Well, everyone rest assured - this ooooh darjeeling is AMAZING! Smooth, flavorul, not too strong, bitter or astringent. I usually add sugar to the oolong tea at my favorite chinese food restaurant - not needed with this tea. The flavor is delicious. LOVE THIS TEA.

★★★☆☆

I haven't developed a taste for darjeeling yet. Not going to reorder.

★★★★★

This tea is very rich in flavor, even when left steeping for too long it seems to have a more rich and full taste, definitely not as bitter as other Darjeeling.

One of the best teas I've had so far! Great flavor.

★★★★☆

A very nice tasting tea with hints both savory and sweet. I'm not very familiar with oolong teas, but this is a good one.

I am a fan. I've never been a huge fan of darjeeling, but this one seemed really balanced to me.

One of my favorites. You don't need to add anything to this tea. It has such a great flavor.

★★★★★

this is a very tasty tea and is not as bitter as the black tea. I plan to make it iced during the summer.

★★★★☆

I am just branching out into oolongs after having all sorts of over-steeped, restaurant teas when I was younger. This is both flavorful and delicate, and it lacked any of the tannin aftertaste and astringency that scares me off of oolongs and greens. I think I'm just getting better at following brew directions.

A very nice oolong, complex taste that's easy to pull apart and recognize. Will be ordering this again.

Mmmmmm. I LOVE a good darjeeling and this is AWESOME! Not overpowering but a good crisp and dry flavor.No sweetner needed. Amazing hot. Good iced but I prefer boiling hot. Brew 10 minutes at 212 for a second steep. Will order again!

★★★★☆

This is a very flavorfull tea. It isn't astringent and it has a lot of pleasing floral notes. My only caveat is that it doesn't really taste like an Oolong to me. It's almost in its own category.

★★★★★

my absolute favorite black tea well worth the extra price

★★★☆☆

As far as Oolongs from darjeeling are concerned, this one stands right in the middle. I usually expect that sweet, dry Darjeeling floral note to follow an earthier oolong, and it just wasn't here.

★★★★★

My favourite oolong by far, and one of my favourite all around teas. Rich flavour, smooth finish. Watch the time, though, as it gets bitter if steeped too long, though it's lovely steeped a second time.

★★★★★

Lovely darjeeling tea, there is no bitterness as soome darjeelings tend to because it is an oolong.

★★★★★

I have only tried oolong tea one other time in my life and it gave me the wrong perspective of the tea. This on the other hand is amazing, not bitter,subtle, yet not watered down. I have yet to try a darjeeling tea but I may just stick with this blend for some time.

★★★★☆

A very nice, even flavored darjeeling. I usually drink it without anything and just enjoy the flavor.

★★★★★

This was a great blend, I really enjoyed both the aroma and the taste. Great Job!

★★★★★

A nice smooth tea. The tea is a beautiful mix of colors.

★★★★☆

They should call this lots o twigs tea. Leaves are fine, dry and skinny, almost twig like. There is quite a bit of actual twigs as-well. Great soft fruity smell, with a very faint floral taste. Makes for a good soft cup of Oooohlong. Probably one of the better oolongs I have had from Adagio.

★★★★☆

A very good tea, the bouquet is floral and the flavor delightful and warming

★★★★★

My first darjeeling and I love it. Nice smell, honey with bit of flowers and oolong after taste.

★★★★★

Big surprise - I'm now a big fan. The unique flavor of an oolong with Indian terroir.

★★★★★

Just opening the bag of this outstanding tea is an experience. The aroma is wonderful. The brew is crystal clear, and classic darjeeling. The only downside is that it's expensive, and you need a lot of it (2 tsps. per cup) to brew a decent strength cup.

★★★★★

Have you considered creating a Darjeeling Sampler? Fans will love it!

This tea is unbelievably good!!
I was delightfully suprised by the natural sweetness, smooth, perfect.

I love Oolongs and I love Darjeeling, but somehow this tea hasn't quite blown me away. I am not sure why. I've made it twice now and both times it was fine, but not anything that really impressed me.
