Excellent tea, very similar to the wuyi ensemble oolong. Tastes good with some honey.
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.

Not my favorite cup, but it is still enjoyable. I rather be drinking gunpowder or darjeeling teas. I am not excatly a green tea lover, that is.
I was in search of a really good tea--the kind I feel like I can drink pot after pot. This is it! Very smooth--a perfect balance between dark and green oolongs.
Solid version of this oolong, good substitute for morning coffee.
Very good oolong.Experiment with amount of tea and length of brew to get just the taste you want.
A unique and satisfying oolong. Mild but rich. A buttery finish.
Wonderful stuff, worthy of its boddhisattva name. The leaves can make several pots, and one after another all are nothing less than excellent in both flavor and aroma. My personal favorite oolong, one everyone should try. Great both hot and cold.
it is very light in flavor, this is my first oolong tea. i usually have green. this seems to have a better after taste and doesn't leave my throat dried out.
I love the aroma of this tea, its the best oolong i've found
This is an amazing oolong. Very light in taste, light yellow in color. This is my first oolong from adagio, but I can't wait to try some more.
Excellent grade, as good as any other supplier. This is the best oolong, earth and brandy mixed together.
Great tea! It tastes like it's free from any impurities.
Unusual. A bit little bit of sugar helps bring out the fullest taste. An intersting subtle flavor that sustains through a large mug-size serving. Received it as a sample, and am ordering a full tin.
A mellow, smokey flavor. A good alternative to morning coffee. Cam be steeped several times with great results.
Light and refreshing
I really enjoyed this one--Smells slightly floral and eaves a nice, sweet aftertaste.
Very nice tea!
This tea was great. It was not too strong,not too weak,just the way an oolong should be.It has a full flavor that doesnt overpower. I highly recommend it.
The Ti Kuan Yin has a smooth, vaguely floral quality that is very soothing. It's an instant favorite.
A very good oolong-like tea. I found this tea profits by being made stronger than I expected. Can steep a long time. It tastes the best if you manually remove the stems from the loose tea before brewing. Of course, I'd prefer to pay for a higher grade with fewer stems instead of trying to remove them myself, but the taste is there either way.
Can't decide quite yet. I have a feeling it may grow on me though.
This ti kuan yin did not surpirise me in any way. I found it to be a very steady tea. It is a very full-bodied dark oolong with a pleasant flavor. This tea is a great afternoon tea that should be shared with friends.
Great tea.. Very interesting with its multitude of tastes.. My favorite oolong
Aromatic, smooth & balanced. Nice tea for the moments when a "simple" vs "complex" or tea with very distinct character is desired. Made my personal must have on stock list.
very good
Nice; perhaps not quite the fully complex palate of Oolong Symphony #40.
WONDERFUL it was a truly great tea im very pleased
Very, very gentle tea! 1 slightly rounded tsp./cup seems about right. Not quite like the Taiwan Oolong teas. Possibly unique.
smooth. has a mellow taste that I found very restful.
All of the teas that I have bought from Adagio have been superb, but this one was, bar-none, the best. It was almost naturally sweet and had a muted floral quality to it that made it really sing. It was refined but still very accessible. There was no hint of bitterness in it, and no grassiness that makes green tea the wonderful thing that it is. I drank it at any time of the day and enjoyed it especially with chocolate.
Good tasting.
This was pretty good. It had an interesting taste that I rather enjoyed.
It is an excellent tea for the price. I use it especially if my stomach is upset and it calms it down. Beside the taste is very good.
excellent tea!!! beautiful taste and aroma.
nice "after-effect" [-tasting the tea at odd times the next day or the day after.]
I got a sample of the T Kwan Yin and really enjoyed
it. I plan to send a couple of CARE packages to fellow tea drinkers of my acquaintance and plan to include this in the selection.
Nice change of pace tea.
No wonder that this tea is " one of China's most sought-after teas". It is very good!
