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.

I like it. Distinct Darjeeling flavor with a lighter body. I followed the recommended brewing instructions and it came out a bit bitter with brisk tannins. I can’t tell whether I’ve burnt the tea or it’s supposed to be this way (will play around with my recipe). This makes a very unique cup of tea.
This was a communiTEA pick. It's a very nice darjeeling that I may have to buy more of to enjoy.
Delicious afternoon black tea. Good with a shortbread cookie.
I love oolong, and this Darjeeling definitely benefits from being given the oolong treatment.
This was my first Darjeeling, and it lived up to its reputation. It's a very good tea, even through multiple infusions.
I may have steeped it a little longer than I should have. It was a little bitter, but it had a good aftertaste. Also, I preferred the flavor after it had cooled for a while.
Solid Oolong tea. I was able to steep the leaves twice. The third time the brew tasted pretty weak. This isn't up among my top Oolong teas due to the astringent aftertaste. That being said, I wouldn't say no to a cup.
Great flavor! I originally tried this in the communiTEA and loved it!
Sometimes straight oolong teas are too strong for me but this one was nice. It has a less heavy mouth feel than other black teas (kind of like a green tea) so I didn't have it with milk or sugar. I'm glad to have gotten this as the last day of April's CommuniTEA. What a great month of tea!
This surprised me. It tastes somewhere between a standard black and a standard oolong, with floral and fruity notes.
I enjoyed this tea, though not typical of most Darjeelings I've had. It's fruity, but not as grape. And definitely a smoky quality.
A delicious tea. A lot fruitier - and smoother - than most other oolongs I have tasted. I was surprised by the steeping instructions. Oolong typically requires a lower temperature and a shorter steeping time, but as other reviewers have noted this is a very forgiving tea. I brewed mine like a black tea (5 mins @ 212) and I think it turned out perfect.
I was very surprised with this tea. I did not think I was going to like it-lol. I generally enjoy blended teas but this one had a lot of layers of flavor.
It’s fine. I probably would not have bought this if I wasn’t trying it with CommuniTEA, and I probably won’t ever buy it again, it was ok- but nothing special or exciting.
This is a delightful little tea. It has that natural metallic taste that most oolong teas have. It has very little astringency. The smell is very reminiscent of black tea. I don’t get a fruit or flora essence out of this tea. Overall delightful and very nice.
A strong brew worthy of Darjeeling and unusual but welcome in an oolong. Add some sweet and it’s the perfect drink for all afternoon.
Oolong teas are typically a miss for me, but this one was pretty good. It was a little closer to a black tea in flavor and had a very smooth flavor. It definitely needed to be sweetened, though, and I used sugar but honey would probably mix with the earthy tones better.
I have never tried oolong tea before I was on the fence about trying it but I absolutely love this tea it was a very pleasant surprise I will be buying some for sure
Very pleasant black tea. Delicious with a spoon of honey!
I think i steeped it a little too long. It has a light fruitiness to it, but it was slightly bitter. The cookbook I have in my tea photo, ' A Literary Tea Party', features custom tea blends you can order from Adagio's. All you have to do is go to Alison's blog wonderlandrecipes.com to order. My favorite is Abbot's Chocolate Hazelnut Tea, but they are all delicious.
This tea is incredible! So far, I’ve been discouraged with what I’ve received in my communiTEA sample, but this tea is making me consider buying a subscription.
Lovely and perfect. A really good oolong. It nice and balanced and just great.
I think this might have been my first time trying Darjeeling. For some reason I always associated this with being a very strong tea and strayed away from it. This was not strong at all and was very pleasant. I enjoyed it! I will now be much more apt to try Darjeeling blends.
Good tea. I liked it. I will try it again. good
Maybe I brewed it wrong but this tea isn’t as complex as other oolongs that I’ve had. It is a good, mellow tea so I might be biased because I like mine strong and black.
A GREAT Darjeeling. Darjeeling's are my favorite teas and this one is no exception. When I first tasted this tea, I was actually a bit underwhelmed and disappointed. As I have kept after it, each sessions has improved my opinion of this tea.
GREAT!
A tasty oolong - I didn't quite taste all the unique flavors in there and would have maybe liked a little more fruitiness. However, if you're looking for a good, solid tea with not too many extra frills, then this is it.
I love Darjeeling tea and this is a good one! I wish it was less expensive, but I will probably order again.
I love a cup of oolong tea and this ooooh darjeeling is a pleasant time out. The tea to me is earthy but sweet. I steep a long time, keeping the temp hot enough to drink to get the most flavor and goodness. I will purchase again.
Loved this tea. Have switched to Jade oolong but plan on adding this tea back into my rotation soon. I use oolong as an allergy med (works for me!) and so I drink it every single day . This is a good one.
Purchased as a gift for a friend. She loves the spicy tones!
I love Oolong tea and this one doesn t disappoint.
Very nice musky flavor. If you like Darjeeling, this is definitely a good one. Don’t need a lot of leaves to brew a cup, do lasts for a long time. I rebrew it as well, still has good flavor.
This is the classic tea I expect from a good Chinese restaurant. It has an earthy nuttiness that pairs with just about anything. Excellent.
might just be my new favorite tea - it was full of flavor and very, very smooth - no sweeteners or added flavors needed which is always a plus for me.
Perfect morning wake-up tea, and the absolute PERFECT iced tea.
This fragrant tea is now my favorite oolong. It is full of flavor and so decadent.
Slightly spicy, floral-fruit scent to dry leaves. This is a fragrant tea! To me it is the most redolent of the Darjeelings Tastes of honey, citrus blossom and apple-grape with a dry finish. VERY nice!
This is a lovely oolong tea; I really liked the subtle fruit flavors and thought it was smooth and very easy to drink
Glad I read prior reviews on this tea and took a chance. It is a delightful tea. For me, it is a perfect light afternoon cuppa!!
This is a pleasant darjeeling. I believe my local tea shop has a more flavorful darjeeling, but this one works in a pinch. Subtle flavoring, but enjoyable.
Bright, slightly astringent Darjeeling oolong tea. 2.5 min brew time
Subtle yet distinctive is perhaps the best description of Ooooh Darjeeling. It has wonderful, light floral flavors that don't overwhelm. It brews to a medium amber and makes a very smooth cup. I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars only because I prefer a stronger cup. If your preference is a lighter brew, you will definitely enjoy this tea.
I actually like this more than I thought I would. Minerally and clean.
This tea didn't do much for me. It was fine, but not memorable or worth buying again.
This tea is very smooth and makes a refreshing cold tea.
Enjoying this as my morning cup of tea. Very smooth taste.
It is good but we found that we don't like the darker Oolong Tea. Very good if you do though!
My favorite of the Darjeelings. Very clean and makes a lovely iced tea or hot tea. Smells wonderful!
One of my very favorite teas. I enjoy it in the morning before breakfast or in the afternoon with a few cookies.
