This tea is awesome! I first got this with an Oolong sampler, and as I was opening them all like a kid on Christmas, I smelled this and said aloud "ooooh that's nice."
This is one that I really look forward to after a long day of work, the fragrance and slightly sweet flavor melt away stress from the day. Plus it gives that little extra kick to have a great night!

I love this tea! It has just the right hint of Darjeeling and the wonderful taste/aroma of Oolong tea.

I think ooooh darjeeling is ooooh kay. A decent cup of tea, yes, but I didn't find it to be extraordinary.
★★★★☆
a decent oolong, not as good as the flovors selection of oolong teas
★★★★☆
I had gotten this one for a friend and we had good time sharing it together, looking forward to trying more teas like it.
★★★★★
This is excellent. Darjeeling but in oolong form.

This is the only oolong that I like. I have tried the sampler and other oolongs, and this one was a winner for me.
★★★☆☆
The leaves were all different in color, from green to dark brown. I found that odd, they ended up turning an even brown after brewing. Smells a little spicy, but still a little flowery also. Tea came out a nice honey color. The taste was ok. A little earthy, but not very with some spice taste at the end. Smooth, yet kind of unimpressive IMO. I got two brews and gave up, I probably could have gotten more. I find other oolongs nicer.

A lighter darjeeling which I enjoyed, but I prefer a darker darjeeling (like #2).
★★★★★
I got this on a whim, and I definitely had to re-order! It has such a great flavor, floral while still being a little stronger than most greens and whites.
★★★★★
This one has become one of my favorites! It's exactly what I hoped that it would be. It tastes distinctly like a Darjeeling while still tasting like an Oolong. It's a really smooth tea, that is versatile and can even be re-steeped (it looses some flavor after the first time). A unique tea that's worth every penny!

This is a light, fragrant darjeeling. I found even the first infusion to be just perfect without milk or sweetener. This is quite possibly one of the smoothest teas I've had lately.
★★★★★
First Steeping showed a pale brass with a light cast of orange. It has a strong spicy aroma with subltle herbal notes. Taste was sweet-ish with hints of spice and in the background is the grassieness that one would expect from a traditional black darjeeling. The flavor only became more refined with additional steepings, the 4th being the best in my opinion. This tea was phenomenal and I will definately be reordering.

I love this tea! It's a bit pricey so I only treat myself to it once in a while.
★★★★★
Loved this tea. Earthy and flavorful. Great afternoon cuppa.
★★★★★
This tea impressed me more than I thought it would. The dark roasted taste is attractive, like I can taste the actual air, it's fresh and makes me feel alive. No drawbacks here. I'll probably order the bag next time instead of the sampler.
★★★★★
I really like this tea a lot. It tastes like a darjeeling, but more sweet, like honey has been added. I normally don't like that kind of flavor but here it was something I enjoyed a lot.
★★★★☆
Good nutty flavor coupled with a sweetness. Not my favorite oolong but definitely worth buying.
★★★★☆
A nice balance between the black and the green teas.
★★★★★
What can I say other than . . . this is a marvelous tea. I am particularly fond of oolongs and teas from the Darjeeling. Thus, I had very high expectations for this tea and they were met, perhaps even exceeded. The slightly smokey/woody aroma awards the drinker of this full-flavored but not overwhelmind oolong. The aftertaste is light and lovely again without overwhelming the tastebuds nor overstaying its welcome.

This is a great tea to sip and relax with. Great flavor!
★★☆☆☆
I know this seems to be popular , but i did not care for it. Seems weak in flavor to me no matter how much i use . This smell did not really appeal to me either
★★★★★
Oolong is one of my all-time favorites, and this didn't disappoint! If steeped too long, definitely gets too bitter.

A very aromatic oolong—I assume it's because this is also from Darjeeling. Smells a bit like cloves. Very smooth tea, like an oolong with a bit of spice to it. Anxious to see what happens when I resteep it.
★★★★★
Nice flavors w/ nice light sweetness. One of my current favorites w/ Ali Shan but both are a bit pricey. Really good 2nd and 3rd steeps too.
★★★★☆
Pretty good! First time I brewed it, I neither had enough tea nor brewed it for long enough. But the second time worked out very well!

Great tea, flavorful, a bit fruity. It's pretty light, I would say closer to green than to black tea. Given the steep price, this is a tea one can keep for special ocasions.
★★★★★
As an oolong from india, a rarity in itself, this tea is worth trying. The brew is similar in flavor to darjeeling#2

Very nice tea, sent this to a family member who really liked it!
★★★☆☆
This one just did not do it for me. The smell reminded me a little of the earl grey bravo. But this oolong tasted a lot more like a black tea than a oolong. I'm not a huge fan of black teas so it's probably more of a preference than of this being a bad tea. Bought a sample and probably won't be buying again.
★★☆☆☆
I forgot I hate this and ordered it a second time! OH NO WHY?!?!

I love this tea. It is very smooth. It gives you the best of both worlds--oolong and darjeeling.
★★★★★
Excellent tea. It does not taste as spicy as it smells, but it is still great.
★★★★★
Wonderful. Saved my day after far too much class, and will save yours too.
★★★★★
I love this, it tastes smooth and amazing, with a hint of natural sweet. The quality is obvious. This one is worth the money, it does not last long in my house!
★★★★★
LOOOOOOOVE this darjeeling tea, it just feels good to my soul from the first to last drink. The reddish brown hue of the brew is also pleasing.
★★★★★
A light flavor which sneaks up on you when you least expect it. In other words, a very refreshing tea.
★★★★☆
A nice flavor, goes great in the morning or early afternoon.
★★★★☆
Interesting and like most darjeelings it had a nice bite to it. nothing special though
★★★☆☆
had mixed feelings about this tea. It was bitter, but may have been overbrewed a little bit.
★★★☆☆
I was a bit diappointed with this one. It's rather bland: the lack of oxidation relative to its black cousins makes it flavorless.
★★★★☆
Pretty good.. Tends to get real bitter if you brew it for more than a few minutes.
★★★★☆
As an oolong meant to be enjoyed in multiple steeps, I wasn't overly impressed. I liked it much better when brewed as a black tea. The flavor was very similar to the Darjeeling #22, but a bit milder and less astringent.
★★★★☆
A bit sharp for my tastes, but generally good, and pairs well with food.
★★★★★
The name says it all SERIOUSLY! Such a cliche' I know but when I first smelled and sipped this darjeeling the first thing I said was OOOOOH!
★★★★★
I never cared for the acidic tannins in black teas, and green teas were just a little too mild for me, so this oolong was a great medium. Bold, but not overly so. Definitely a favorite.
★★★★★
Ooooh darjeeling is an incredible tasy tea with a oolong dargeeling flavor.

I thought this was a really good tea and do recommend it.
★★★★★
I hope they keep this one forever - It's by far my favorite - it's not too heavy, not too mild - try it and you will love it!
★★★★☆
An interesting cross between oolong and darjeelings.
