One of our favorite oolongs, this spectacular tea is lightly oxidized but still hefty on floral complexity with little to no astringency.

We love its complicated combination of roasted stone fruit, unsweetened coconut, and firewood, with a deliciously rich and buttery, creamy aftertaste.

It also withstands multiple infusions.

On the light end

Certainly not bad, but I found the taste didn't match the description of the tea. It is a light oolong without any astringency as described -- but it lacked the complexity and coconut/stonefruit/firewood. I do think it had a somewhat buttery/creamy aftertaste. Stood up to 4 infusions (but I use a slightly higher amount of water than true gong fu brewing).

Would purchase again -- good for "light" oolong to compare against a darker one for those developing their palate.

Really delicious!

I tried this oolong for the first time today and was shocked at how complex the flavor is! It’s delightfully earthly and subtly floral with sweet notes and a great aftertaste that builds as you drink it. I rebrewed the leaves several hours later and it was still pretty good- obviously not as much so as the first brew, but still enjoyable. This instantly became a favorite for both my husband and me.

Good, a little funkier than the oolongs from the previous box.

Like an herbal broth

This tea has a savory quality that almost reminds me of a buttery mushroom broth, followed by a dancing of flowers across the tongue. It tastes like an herbal broth with a flower aftertaste. This is the first oolong tea I've ever tried, and I just ordered my second 3 ounce bag!

It’s okay, but much lighter to other oolongs.

Good Oolong

This is a very decent oolong tea, although I did not note any coconut or stonefruit as described on the package.
