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.

Reviews

★★★★☆

A really different oolong. It is a good evening drinker.

4 min steep · 195°F

★★★★☆

One of my favorite darjeelings. Very mild and great!

★★★★☆

My first oolong, definitely a great tea, just not my cup of tea. The intricacies of the tea listed by the product info and some reviews are lost to me as they are very faint to me. Good for several steeps as well.

★★★★★

I really enjoy this tea. I brew a pot when I want to treat myself. I'm not sure if it is a proper way but I like it with milk and sugar.

★★★★☆

A good darjeeling tea. A little stronger than I was expecting.

★★★★☆

Good but not great. The leaves aren't the best quality in my opinion. Wish the tea didn't get powdery.

★★★★★

Given that it was an oolong I treated it like a Chinese/Taiwan Oolong and gaiwan brewed it. Contains the familiar grape and dried fruit floral notes that one would expect to find in a first flush Darjeeling black tea of quality. While I really enjoy it, it has gotten me thinking about how much different brewing a Darjeeling black tea in a gaiwan would be from what I am brewing now from the many observations of others about first flush Darjeeling black teas being a more oolong like black tea. Regardless it stands out as a nice tea that is a very enjoyable change from what I normally drink although I highly doubt it will become a staple tea for me

★★★★★

I think I can sum this up by saying 'Delicious'. Hope you all agree.

★★★★☆

This tea is seriously tasty. It tastes almost like an earthy black tea, but definitely still maintains the metallic-y flavor that I love so much in oolong. I'd definitely recommend it to someone who likes black teas from this region and is new to oolong.

★★★★☆

This isn't a bad tea, but I find it tastes alot like a black and not so much like an oolong.

★★★★☆

i randomly bought darjeeling at a famers market a few years ago and it was one of the best things i've ever tasted. since then i have been trying to find a darjeeling as good as that batch. this tea is about 70% of the way there.

★★★★☆

good darjeeling for the price, nothing else to say

★★★☆☆

Not very good, especially for the price. No matter how long I steeped, it always gave me a bitter aftertaste. Won't buy this one again.

★★★★★

This tea can withstand several infusions, so it's very handy for those on a budget. The taste is a bit earthy, very mild, and sweet. It makes for a smooth drink, and it utterly quenches my thirst

★★★★★

This one of my favorite teas I've tried so far. I love the smooth flavor and how it wakes me right up.

★★★☆☆

This tea is rather nondescript, with a flavor much weaker than I was hoping for. I'll finish what I have, but I won't purchase this again.

★★★★★

One of my favorites. The flavor is well balanced. Not cheap, but you can infuse multiple cups with the same batch. Don't over steep though and make sure your water is the right temp.

3 min steep · 185°F

★★★☆☆

This tea was just okay for me. It's quite a bit boring as another reviewer mentioned.

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Loved the smell when I opened the bag! It is a very mild black tea, good for the afternoon but not fit for the morning.

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

Enjoyable, if not a bit boring. And it loses whatever charm it has as it cools.

★★★★★

A fine oolong tea, I highly recommend the second and third infusions.

4 min steep · 210°F

★★★☆☆

Tastes more like darjeeling than oolong. An 'ok' flavor: a little flat and a slight bitter aftertaste. Overall, it is a decent cup but but will not be my first choice in the mornings.

3 min steep · 205°F

★★★☆☆

This is just a good oolong. It's really not at all special. I'm generally looking for exceptional teas when I shop online at fancy tea stores. While this is a good example of an oolong tea, it's not special enough to bother ordering online. Unless you live in a small town there are probably better oolongs at your local shops.

★★★★☆

Not as delicate as the puttabong summer #2 but a worthy cup. Nice amber color. A hint of bitterness that, to me makes it a better morning tea. Go with the puttabong first, butt don't miss this one.

★★★★☆

Very pleasant tea. Lovely scent, both dry and steeped.

★★★★★

Drinks more like a lighter black tea than some other oolongs, but it is quite pleasant. I prefer greener oolongs, but this hits the spot when I'm looking for something a little bolder

★★★★★

This beautiful floral tea is a delight to the senses! The smell upon openin the package is amazing. The leaves before stwwping and in full bloom are gorgeous. The amber color is inviting, especially when I immerse my nose in that amazing floral, as well as distinctly Darjeeling, taste. This has instantly become my favorite tea! I bought a sample on the recommendations here. I will now proceed to buy a large quantity of the stuff!

★★★★★

A very nice tea with sweet fruity flavors. One of my favorite oolongs. Love it hot or cold.

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

I liked this tea. Very floral flavor to me. I think I'd really like this as ice tea.

★★★★★

This is my new favorite oolong, and trust me I drink a lot of different oolongs. The flavor is incredibly smooth but strong and present in a cup either by itself or blended. And I've brewed it up to three times and had the flavor stay strong.

★★★★☆

Yes, another wonderful Darjeeling blend with Oolong. I enjoyed it just a bit ago, and not too bad. I'm more attuned with the Puttabong Summer, but this is a good filler tea.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

First oolong I've ever tried and it was really good. Nice meeting point between black tea and lighter teas with that darjeeling flavor in there.

4 min steep · 225°F

★★★★★

My favorite way to drink this tea is slowly and mindfully. Great flavor.

★★★★★

This and Bai Hao are my two favorite Oolongs by far. this tea has a definite grapeish flavor to it, but it is pleasant. A cup with a lot of depth to it.

4 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

this is the best oolong Ive ever had. Im a black tea lover and find most others weak so this was a wonderful surprise

★★★★★

Yum! Yum! I must say...your teas are the very best for the very best prices. This one is a keeper.

★★★★★

My second journey down oolong path and the strength of this flavor is out standing. Just make sure you steep it for around three minted to avoid bitterness.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

Very good tea

7 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

A fragrant and tasty Darjeeling that goes wonderfully with savory foods.

★★★★☆

Just got this tea in. Not as good as the Black Dragon Pearls, but a nice black tea. Good for at least 2 infusions.

3 min steep · 212°F

★★★★★

Very pleasant, smooth oolongs are not my favorite usually but this one now is~! Yum!

★★★★☆

A nice tea, but nothing too special about it. We finished the sample and enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't go out of our way to buy it again.

★★★★☆

There should be a 'very good' rating in between good and great. I would rate this as 'very good'

★★★★☆

I have always found Darjeeling to be a bit too floral for my liking, however this oolong is good.Sweet, very floral not overpowering and not bitter one bit. Brews to a dark amber

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

Excellent flavour with musty finish. While I wasn't sure I liked it while drinking, the aftertaste made me a fan.

5 min steep · 212°F

★★★★☆

My favorite teas are black teas from China. However, this is a good introduction to a Darjeeling.

★★★★★

The flavor of this tea reminds me of bagged tea you can buy at the store only ooooh darjeeling doesn't have any bitter pungent taste. It has a mellow, smooth flavor. I was able to enjoy five 12oz. cups of tea out of just two heaping teaspoons. Fantastic value and exceptional flavor. I'll buy this flavor in a larger quantity next time.

★★★★★

mellow but somehow very present. doesn't scream for attention but it stands stoically letting its inner strength speak for itself. lightly flowery, a nice accent without being overpowering.

★★★☆☆

Not a big fan of this one. Its a ok tea. Maybe I will blend it with something else.

★★★★☆

I enjoy the light body and floral notes of this tea. It is best brewed very quickly the first couple of times
