Ti Kuan Yin Customer Reviews

Very nice everyday afternoon tea. Good flavor. Better than most 'iron goddess' varieties I have tried in the past.

Very good tea, has a very mellow but distinct flavor.

I found this to be a mild tea with a good balance of flavor and aroma.

Sweet floral aroma. Golden green liquor. Very mild astringency with a siolid 'green' afternote. Currently my favorite and I would most definitely buy again.

I have tried a lot of TKY and I still come back to this one. Very tightly rolled leaves that unfurl completely. Full bodied, nicely balanced, just a delicious brew. Good price, this is my highest Adagio recommend. The best of oolongs!

This is an outstanding Oolong, and easily one of my new favorites. I will always have some of this on hand.

my favorite oolong. a greeen oolong that tastes completely different than any other. highly recomended.

I enjoy green oolongs with complex flavors, but I expected this one to be better, for the price. I wouldn't order it again.

Ti kuan yin reminds me of summer with its mild clover scent and taste.

Nice tea and an even better story to go along with it. While steeping this tea make sure to take the time and read up on it's history.

While not the best ti kuan yin I've ever tried, it definitely holds its own. Takes longer than usual to brew, but the flavor is prominent and smoky. It tastes a bit darker than other ti kuan yins I've had--a bit more toward black tea than I expected--but it's not at all unpleasant.

Not the best ti kuan yin I've ever had, but it's definitely a quality tea for the price.

My favorite oolong! Pricey but ordering more. I get sad when my cup is empty.

This tea is aromatic and tastes great. I love it.

A complex and flavorful tea. The high quality is apparent witht he first cup, somehow a hint of sweetness can be detected without the addition of sugar or honey.

I bought this tea as a gift for my sister, but I enjoy it as well. It's a good oolong tea.

Very good tea. Great tasting and good for multiple steeps. A bit pricey but worth it.

Bold flavor. Reminds me of a strong green tea. Watching the leaves expand is a nice bonus experience.

This the same tea they call Black Dragon in China. A friend of mine brought some of this back when he was last there and they both taste the same. Very nice.

A very descent oolong towards the green side of things - clean, planty tastes in a good way. Pretty straightforward and forgiving in terms of steeping time.

I really tried this one over and over again. It's just not to my taste. I've really decided that any oolong tea is just not my thing.

This is lightly sweet on its own, but is definitely greener than I generally like in an oolong.

Not unlike oolong #18, a prototypical oolong. A nice woody drink, not too oxidized, great leaves.

One of my favorites. It is not quit a good as other ti kuan yins that I have had, but the price makes it accessible as a daill drinker.

Without a doubt, one of the best oolong teas here. It has a medium body with pleasant nutty and earthy tones. Don't worry about the price; this Ti Kuan Yin is well worth it.

I enjoyed this tea very much. I served it to my friends while we had a nice relaxing day watching movies. They both liked it a lot.

My favourite oolong tea. Everyone is guaranteed to love this one!

oolong is a special flavor, so it's probably smart to start with a sample. I really like this one with food, but on its own it's just a bit too much for me

This stuff kicks ass and its one of the nice oolongs of the kind i have tried

This is my new favorite tea. This version is slightly fresher tasting than others I have tried. It has notes of copper and orchids.

This is a tea that comes in many different grades. This version was not as good as the 'supreme iron goddess' I get from the Chinese tea shop down the street, though the price is lower. I like some of the other oolongs from Adagio better.

This is my absolute favorite tea. It's got a mellow, almost breadlike flavor that is fairly sweet but not too much so. Very well worth the high price. Re-steeps very well. A+

This is my favorite tea from Adagio. It is lightly floral in taste, and I love the yellow color.

Not the best Ti kuan yin I have had, but still very good. For real ti kuan yin afficianados, I'd suggest leaving this one and seeking one from the Fuijan province.

I'm no expert on teas, and certainly not oolongs, but in my book this tea is wonderful. I'm ordering more.

LOVE THIS TEA! Have to be very careful with the timing though. I will reorder more as soon as it is available again.

This tea is simply delightful! The aroma and taste are both unusual and wonderful. It is currently my favorite tea.

This is a good daily drinking tea, neither too strong nor too light. In short: Good stuff!

I really like the complexity of this tea. It is my standard tea at work.

I never thought I enjoyed oolong teas until a friend gave me a very high quality one she had brought back from China. Since then, I have tried to find similar oolongs without much success. This is the only oolong I've found in the states that is worthwhile. It has a slight sweetness to it - and a richness without being bitter. So good that it makes me reconsider oolongs.

If I had to define the word 'green' as a flavor, this tea would be it. Spinach, grass, asparagus... yuck!

this tea tastes very... green. like green leaves from a tree. i was expecting a rich roasted nutty flavor (like the other oolongs), and this was too fresh for me.

this is a totally radical oolong with a psychedelic name man. again, i like oolong tea allot. this one is very characteristic of the class and a good one at that.

Wow- what a complex and flavorful tea! Love it! Has hints of a fruit flavor.

being a fan of adagio's quality in other teas, i was excited to try this, one of my favorite oolongs. i enjoyed the sample, and would certainly not hesitate to recommend it, but i have to say i have had better ti kuan yins. this is still a great tea.

If your looking at tring an oolong this is a great one to try frist.

This Oolong has a good taste to it. I'd like a little more punch to it though. Let's say it's more subtle in taste, not over powering at all.

This is a delicious, light bodied, weedy TKY. The flavor of this particular tea stays with the leaves after several steepings. This has become one of my favorite TKY teas.

A good, reliable representative of one of my favorites of the oolong teas.

Not my favorite oolong, but a good oolong, slightly more toward the black tea side.
