This is a bit softer than I expected. Holds up very well to multiple infusions.
Legendary and beloved oolong tea from Fujian, China. Warm, soft and soothingly mineral in texture. Notes of toasted walnut and tender collard greens. Intriguing lingering floral aroma, lightly orchid, and gentle astringency. A meditative cup.

This has a very soft flavor and feel - a flowery flavor sort of layered over the oolong taste, and very rich. Very soothing!
Almost as good as the kind I import from China. Like REALLY close. Slightly more floral aftertaste, so many might like it even better.
This is another always wonderful tea. I use the recommended amount of 1 heaping tsp. per cup or a little less, and steep for 2 minutes at 195F. Re-steep once for 3 minutes or so at the same temperature
This tea is really famous in China, and I definitely see why! It is absolutely delicious. It smells really yummy - light and grassy, but not too light (which is awesome because I'm not a huge fan of light teas). It's very warm and soothing, makes me feel really good inside. Toasty, slightly sweet, very floral...this is an amazingly satisfying cup of tea. Smooth and perfectly balanced, and still very flavorful even after several steeps. Plus, the leaves are beautiful unfurling in the water. I think this will become one of my new favorites.
Loved this! Great stuff. Getting more soon for the summer.
I love this tea. It has body. the flavor is excellent.
This is my very favorite tea for quiet afternoons of reading and cat-petting. A friend gave it to me years ago as a present and I've been ordering it regularly ever since.
I'm currently 'stuck' on oolong tea. The goddess has been my all time favorite, but this one may be my next favorite :-)
A great oolong tea! Perfect for any time of the day. Not to strong nor to weak. A great balance. A tea that I will buy again and again.
I was surprised how much I loved the subtle flavors of this sophisticated green tea. A touch of honey rounded out the taste. Hot or cold, this tea is delicious. Try this one with sushi.
Tasted great on first brewing, and was robust enough that I could cold brew the leaves for iced tea for the next day.
This green tea will not disappoint. It is strong, and nicely coffinated.
It is lovely full body tea with an unique and satisfying taste that is making you to get another cup. I recommend for a tea gourmet parties and for an every tea loving person.
Drink anytime. Calm feel, delightful smooth flowery taste.
This is a very green oolong tea. Very light and slightly vegetal.
lovely light oolong. notes of collard greens but mellow and pleasant. a nice change of pace from your daily black or red tea. very soothing with delicate flavors
I love the taste of this tea. It draws you in with the smell and the taste matches.
Delicious smooth and buttery taste. Not too vegetal or grassy. Very enjoyable. Reminds me of a Pouchong in some ways.
Thick, milky texture with hints of jasmine. A little too floral for me, but a decent cup of tea.
In comparison to Tevana your teas were both weak, and required longer steeping time.
Still loving this tea and it seems to get better every time I steep the leaves (especially if I add just a few extra leaves)! I ordered more(as im drinking at least one cup every day). Hopefully, it comes before I run out:)!

Ti kuan you give me hope. Hope for a better tomorrow. Hope for a more muscular physique.
I use this for hot tea in my cast iron tea pot. Its a classic tea.
I picked this up as a sample and will definitely buy a larger bag. I, a terrible steeper, haven't been able to mess this one up. This is one of the lightest, smoothest teas I've ever had, and the mineral taste is very calming.
Great bold green tea. Have to steep tea 2-3 times removing leaf each time. The taste will become bolder.
This is my favorite tea. I can't get enough of it! I call it meditation in a cup.
It has equally good quality compared to those I bring from China.
I enjoyed this tea but I was expecting something more. Overall it was good but its not a favorite.
I LOVE Oolong teas and this is now one of my favorites. I'm so glad my friend gifted me a sample to try.
Not my cup of tea, pun aside. I guess it's ok if you like this sort of thing
Great tea. Has a great taste and is very smooth going down. A favorite in my book
a bit of a seaweed taste, but adequate. Not bad. Not sure if would go again
This is one of my favorite oolongs so I had to try Adagio's version. I love it, as expected. The quality is very good and I got about 4 steeps from it. I have been able to buy it cheaper elsewhere so I don't know if I will re-order from here or not.
Smooth and very satisfying. In the top 10 of my tea list.
I love this tea so very much. It's smooth and gentle to the system.
Astringent - Strong, Bitter and Flat. On the finish, it left me with very dry mouth.
I prefer this one with honey. It's a great alternative to the Teavana 'Monkey Tea'!
Hmmm, this tea is OK, but I prefer it blended with other flavors. Not sure what I was expecting, but the flavor seemed too confused.
Meh, there are others that I like much better. There isn't anything 'special' about it, although it does have a nice smooth taste
Most favorite unflavored oolong ever! Very deep, rich and earthy. Perfect for an after dinner tea.
Good tea, a bit stronger than most of my greens but a nice nutty flavor
I am hooked on this tea and will be ordering it regularly. It's flavor is subtle and its aroma is wonderful.
Smooth and taste great... It smells best among others. However, it costs much more. I will buy the cheapest wulong for everyday drink.
I was devastated when huang jin bolero was discontinued--and still am, mind you. When I wrote to Adagio asking if they had a similar tea, this was recommended to me. I was not disappointed. Ti kuan yin has the full body and mineral sweetness bolero did. Definitely a favorite--and highly recommended if you, like I do, miss this tea.
I cannot express how much I love this tea. It's perfect. Wonderful floral notes compliment the complex flavors of this oolong. I can steep over and over again all day! Be sure to do a one minute rinse before use and discard the resulting water.
This right here is what Oolong should be. In my first order, this ended up being the favorite of them all. Was very glad that the person I spoke to from Adagio recommended it. Was exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended!
Good taste. I have shared it with friends too. They love it.
Wanted to try this one because it's got such a great reputation, but given the quality of some of the other excellent oolongs on here...this will just be a rare accent flavor in our tea repertoire
Dry leaf with relatively uniform shape and range of green shades. The wet leaf has notes of honeysuckle and green vegetables along with a seaweed-green color. The liquor brews to a dark yellow and provides a gentle cup with honeysuckle and green leafy veg. A good oolong cup.
Really great oolong,simple and classic oolong taste
