Formosa Oolong Tea from Health & Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 17th, 2015
A versatile tea, rich but mellow, that I can see enjoying in any weather.
The dry leaf has unusually big rolled leaves that look more loosely-rolled than most ooloongs, and has a pleasant nutty aroma with vegetal and floral notes.
Upon brewing, produces a delightful, full-bodied cup with a rich nutty aroma. Ther...

Iron Buddha from Simply Good Tea
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 8th, 2015
Great oolong! Subtle all around; light floral tones, light color, and light vegetable flavor all make for a pleasing drink. Tea left a buttery soft texture on my lips. Simply Good Teas lives up to their name; nothing overly fancy, but very good!

Wen Shan Pouchong from Yezi Tea
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taipei County, Taiwan87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 7th, 2015
The aroma of the curly green leaves is like a spring themed explosion in my nose, there are intense notes of orchid, honeysuckle and lilac accompanied by fresh vegetation, mown hay, and a hint of sweet chestnut at the finish. It is powerful and heady, like being in a humid conservatory where everything is floral and i...

Bio Pao Chung Pouchong from Teehaus Bachfischer
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5

Yummy! Brews up very pale yellow with an aroma of vegetables and/or nuts, maybe most like butternut squash. Tastes like squash too, a little. Very rich and full - unexpectedly delicious.

Misty Rock from Simply Good Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 5th, 2015
A classic Wuyi oolong of high quality, with whole, intact leaves and a complex aroma. The dry leaf has a pleasant roasty smell, with a honey-like floral note. I find the dry leaf very pleasing to smell.
Brews up a rather clear and light cup with a light flavor. The aroma is both roasty and floral with nutty notes...

Milk Jin Xuan Taiwanese Oolong from TeaLyra (TeaLux)
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 20th, 2014
Oh, yum. So first of all, the scent of the dry tea is ridiculously sweet and creamy. It smells like some sort of candy, and makes me seriously question the notion that there are no flavourings involved in this tea. The leaves are very tightly rolled little balls. I used a generous teaspoon for 8oz of water, and tha...

Brandy Oolong from Octavia Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Fujian, China97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 19th, 2014
Wow. This tea is pretty exceptional...buttery smooth, but incredibly rich. The dominant notes are of dried fruit, like fig, date, or raisin. It does have a brandy-like quality. It lives up to the claim of "tremendously complex flavors" although I think it's the aroma that is most complex.
Flavor is bold, slightl...

Superfine Taiwan Ali Shan Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 14th, 2014
The aroma of this tea is really quite sweet, like sesame candies with honey (ever had those things, they are delicious!) along with a touch of honeysuckle nectar and sweet cream, the cream notes border on buttery. Ok, so this just might be a Southern thing, but it reminds me a little of that super creamy honey butter f...

Taiwan Monkey Picked (Ma Liu Mie) Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Taiwan / Formosa90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 8th, 2014
The aroma of the dry and very green leaves is one of those 'just right' combination of notes, it is floral but not too heady, has notes of fresh vegetation without smelling too green, and notes of chestnut without being too nutty. The Goldilocks of smells. It reminds me of morning dew on an orchid, along with the summe...

Fujian Wuyi Big Red Robe 'Da Hong Pao' Oolong Tea from What-Cha
Style: Da Hong Pao – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 3rd, 2014
First off I can say that the dry leaves have a very rich aroma, a blend of char and sweet fruit, it reminds me of peaches and plums cooked over a grill and allowed to get that really yummy char and caramelized sugar aroma. There is also a distant aroma of orchids and a touch of tobacco, the finish has a slightly yeast...

Nonpareil Taiwan Li Shan Oolong Tea from TeaVivre

Nov. 29th, 2014
The aroma, well, often I find myself going ga-ga over the roasted oolongs, but wow, when I have a dance with a Gao Shan I wonder, why did I ever get seduced by roasted tea? It is so sweet and so very floral, like a bouquet of honeysuckles, hyacinth, orchids, and lilies, it is intensely floral and at the same time very ...

Oolong Formosa from Sahpat Teas
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 26th, 2014
This tea was really good, reminiscent of tea served at my favorite Chinese restaurant growing up.
Full yet mild flavor, with both steepings being rich. The leaf could have yielded more cups if had the time. The dried leaves smell like raisins!

Orchid Bao Zhong Oolong Tea from Octavia Tea
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 22nd, 2014
Sampled in Velvet Sky in Jenkintown. Bao Zhong, or Pouchong, has been one of my favorite types of tea since I tried it, but I'm occasionally disappointed by it, and this is the fourth-worst example of it that I've tried. That may sound specific, it wasn't all that bad, but it was not close to my favorite example of t...

Fujian Qi Lan Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea from What-Cha
Style: Qi Lan Oolong – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 19th, 2014
the aroma of the dried leaves is certainly a Yancha, I notice the tobacco and char notes that are so familiar, but they are much milder and joined by dried cherry and flowers, specifically hyacinths. Many rock oolongs are sweet, this one takes it too a whole new level, much like combining a Dan Cong and a Yancha for ul...

Nonpareil Anxi Yun Xiang TieGuanYin Oolong Tea from TeaVivre

Nov. 18th, 2014
The aroma is richly roasted, as expected, with notes of char, roasted chestnuts, walnuts, pecans...this is a nutty tea! Finish that off with a distant orchid aroma and you have a very intense aroma, I do suggest sitting down if sniffing this tea.
That is a smooth start, smooth and rich, it begins with chestnuts and ...

Dong Ding Oolong traditional medium roast from Life in Teacup
Style: Jade Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 16th, 2014
Well perhaps on the website this may be considered a mid-grade tea, but I was really impressed by it. I now know what a quality oolong is supposed to taste and smell like. It's rich both in aroma and flavor, and lasts very well through multiple infusions. Infact, I experimented on the third and fourth infusions: It was...

Dong Ding Oolong traditional greener style from Life in Teacup
Style: Jade Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Nov. 14th, 2014
Mmm, very tasty. This tea beats other oolongs I've had that were three times the price. It's naturally really sweet, with a mellow nutty undertone. Creamy mouth-feel. The aroma is beautiful, thick and sweet. I could drink this tea all day.
Brewed a large teaspoon in 8oz water at 200F for 3 min.
Da Hong Pao Manually Processed Medium Roast from Life in Teacup

Nov. 13th, 2014
Well this is my first ever Da Hong Pao, and I'm really excited to review it (but not as much as I was to taste it)!
I brewed about 1.5 spoons (because the leaves are long) in about 9 oz of water at 200 F for 4 min.
The color of the tea is beautiful reddish amber (Alex, I think a good feature would be uploading pi...

Bao Zhong from The Persimmon Tree
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 10th, 2014
The aroma is gently floral, like you expect from a 'greener' oolong, but much more delicate. There are notes of lily, lilac, and honeysuckle, it reminds me of spring rather than a heady orchid filled conservatory.
Ah, ok, that tea is exactly what I needed! It is light and sweet with a very clean floral quality, it t...

Four Seasons Oolong Tea from Health & Tea
Style: Four Seasons Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 9th, 2014
I wrote this review last year, and somehow forgot to post it!
I tried this tea at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival, and enjoyed it. I also took a sample, which I've since brewed a number of times.
Dry leaf smells a lot like a lightly-roasted traditional oolong, smelling pretty woody. Upon brewing, has a...

Bio Pao Chung Pouchong from Teehaus Bachfischer
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Oct. 28th, 2014
This tea was amazing! I loved how vegetable-y it smelled and tasted, and how velvety it was going down. Mmmm. This has to be one of the best oolongs I've had in a while. It was a little sweet, but not overwhelming so. I'm very impressed!

Himalayan Shilla, Jun Chiyabari (Organic) Summer 2014 from Happy Earth Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nepal97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 25th, 2014
Muscatel and plum scent, and the plum comes out with absolute loveliness in the liquor—sweet, and just slightly astringent. Additional sips bring out a blossoming plum and grape richness, that quickly gives way to a cooling tart astringency. Every sip is filled with juicy-ripe fruit. A beautiful tea, and easily an eq...

Oct. 25th, 2014
It should be noted right off the bat that I am not a connoisseur of oolong. I enjoy it, but there's not a lot of sophistication in my tea-drinking; I don't know a lot about different regional varieties, different methods of preparation, and so on.
Which perhaps makes this variety somewhat fitting for me. I bought it...

Bio Pao Chung Pouchong from Teehaus Bachfischer

Oct. 21st, 2014
I loved this tea, and it was also very reasonable in price.
Dry leaf has an incredibly pleasant nutty and toasty aroma, much more toasty than any other pouchong or bao zhong tea. There's also a hint of honey and flowers.
The brewed cup has a beautiful balance of floral and nutty, toasty tones. There's a mild, h...
