Li Shan Oolong Tea from Yezi Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Chiayi (County), Taiwan100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2014
The main floral aroma is honeysuckles, not so much the heady summery aroma of honeysuckles but the late spring early bloom where the flowers are just starting to open their petals. Hiding beneath the freshly blooming honeysuckles are notes of sweet honey and a touch of rose.
I was able to get four steeps using West...
Nonpareil Taiwan DaYuLing High Mountain Cha Wang Oolong Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taichung, Taiwan87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 8th, 2014
The aroma is spectacular. It is very rich, blending heady orchids and honeysuckle nectar with roasted chestnut and a hint of spinach. At the finish there is a slight sweet bread quality, specifically fresh yeasty bread drizzled with honey.
The Teavivre website recommends eight steeps for this tea, and I got eight st...
Tiger Monk - Roasted Oolong from Temple Road
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 27th, 2014
The aroma of the dried leaves is quite intense, blending notes of caramelized sugar and roasted nuts with lesser notes of raisins. The tightly rolled leaves have a finishing aroma of coal and fresh wood. I was pleasantly surprised at how sweet the aroma is, it blends really well with the smoky coal finish. Once steeped...

Organic High Mountain Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 18th, 2014
I thought this tea was amazing. It went further than any tea I've had before at 5 cups with the same leaves, with a similar strength. I honestly think I could have brewed more, but my meeting was finished and I had to dump the remainder. I could gush about the vegetal taste of this tea, it was all I could want and mo...

Dong Ding Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 7th, 2014
I especially enjoyed the roasty flavor of this tea. There definitely was a slight sweetness, which from my own preferences, I wasn't a huge fan of. I always find it impressive when I get a few cups of tea with similar strength off the same leaves, and this tea delivered. I've only had two oolongs from Eco-Cha so far...

(Shan Lin Xi) High Mountain Concubine Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 23rd, 2014
The aroma of the loose leaves is a mix of roasted nuts, honey, and sesame seeds. It reminds of sesame honey candy and is quite delicious smelling. Brewing the leaves brings out vegetal qualities and sharp notes of fruit and osmanthus flowers. The liquid without the leaves have a roasted nuts and lettuce aroma.
The ...

High Mountain Oolong Tea from Tea King of China (Starway)
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 19th, 2014
A smooth, but ultimately mediocre oolong. Very dark, not terribly bitter, but also very uninteresting. Most Chinese restaurants have tea with more of an interesting flavor and aroma.
Dry leaf has a mild, mellow aroma. Upon brewing, the roasted aroma comes out more.
The brewed cup has an oily film on top of it....
Tsui Yu Jade Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 12th, 2014
I thought this tea was fantastic. I loved the vegetable flavors and light floral tone. The only thing I didn't like was the mild sweetness, but that hardly changes how much I enjoyed it. I also loved that I was able to brew four cups out of out one sample packet, without the tea loosing any flavor!

Phoenix Mountain Dancong from Octavia Tea
Style: Dancong Oolong – Region: Guangdong, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 6th, 2014
A dark, spicy, evolving dancong that resembled a black tea more than any other oolong I've tried. It would be top-notch, except that the flavor gave out after 2 steepings.
This is the second Dancong I've sampled from Octavia recently. I was curious if it would be similar to the first--but it's completely different...
Mountain Organic Indonesian Oolong from Tea at Sea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: West Java, Indonesia70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 3rd, 2014
The aroma is sweet, like honeyed bread and green beans. There is also a hint of orchid. Once steeped the sweetness and orchid become stronger while the vegetal tones are more of an undertone.
The taste is good, mixing honey and baking bread with a touch of orchid, as it cools it takes on a savory lettuce like tone....
Dong Ding Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 3rd, 2014
This tea just smells so freaking good. It is potent and tends to brew up strong, very roasty, so I recommend going easy on the leaf and/or the steeping time.
The cup is rich and dark cup, and the aroma is very complex, especially if sipping it gradually. Smells like roasted vegetables with a hint of the spent gunp...
Jin Xuan Milk Oolong from Octavia Tea
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Taiwan / Formosa77 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 27th, 2014
A relatively mild, easy-to-brew oolong with a milky fragrance and lemony tang.
I recently tried a Jin Xuan oolong from the company Eco-Cha, and comparing it with this one was like night and day, as much as you can get with a green oolong. While that one was buttery, this tea was milky.
The dry leaf is very tight...
Eight Immortals Dancong from Octavia Tea
Style: Dancong Oolong – Region: China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
An immensely complex tea that retains its nuances through many infusions. I love it!
The dry leaf doesn't quite betray the complexity...it has a mild aroma, slightly toasty but mostly hiding the explosion of fragrances that happens when steeping this tea in water.
Upon brewing, the aroma suggests apple, orange, ...
Tsui Yu Jade Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan97 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 22nd, 2014
I loved this tea...it is extremely green and light for an oolong, and has a distinctive "tropical greenhouse" aroma. A little picky about brewing, but worth it because the results were pretty astounding when I figured out how to brew it to my liking.
Intensely floral and vegetal, like the inside of a greenhouse fil...
(Shan Lin Xi) High Mountain Concubine Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 16th, 2014
A roasted tea with a mellow, warm, homey quality. I thought this an exceptional tea, definitely my favorite one sampled from Eco-Cha, but ranking among my favorite oolongs ever sampled.
The dry leaf smells of rich roast, with a background of honey-like qualities.
Upon brewing it becomes much more complex. Aroma...
Jin Xuan Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 14th, 2014
A buttery-smooth oolong that was pleasing, but I thought a bit boring. I'm not familiar with Jin Xuan (other than reading about it), so it may be that I'm just not a fan of this varietal.
Dry leaf is not very aromatic, but the brewed cup is more so.
Buttery and vegetably, with a smooth, silky texture. The aroma...
Organic High Mountain Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 9th, 2014
A rich and interesting oolong, different from anything I've tried before. Very pleasing.
Dry leaf is loosely packed, takes up a lot of space, and has a pleasant and multifaceted smell, floral but with a light roast.
The aroma on this is similar to a light-to-medium roast, but the flavor is surprisingly bold. Fl...
Tsui Yu Jade Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Nantou, Taiwan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 7th, 2014
The aroma is herbaceous and sweet with notes of yeasty undertones. It reminds me of baking bread with herbs. Once steeped the aroma becomes more vegetal with undertones of sage. The liquid is herbal and sweet with floral tones.
I was lucky to get multiple steepings, the first one tasting vegetal and sweet. The seco...
Shan Lin Xi High Mountain Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: High Mountain Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan87 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 3rd, 2014
I loved this one, and it seems to grow on me each time I drink it. It is rich and bold any way I make it.
The leaf has a rich, warming aroma, not very roasted but more homey.
I love the way this tea tastes when brewed in a mug. It's very rich and actually quite bitter. There's a hint of cinnamon in the aroma, ...
Jin Xuan Oolong Tea from Eco-Cha
Style: Milky Oolong – Region: Nantou, Taiwan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 31st, 2013
The aroma is heady and sweet with strong notes of orchid that fade into vegetal. Brewed the aroma of the leaves are still very sweet and floral with an underlying woody note.
The first steep is mild and sweet with subtle tastes. The second steep is much more intense with notes of vegetal and a sweet aftertaste. The...

This tea has a lovely aroma blending floral and vegetal with an underlying sweetness. The brewed tea has a mild, sweet, and floral aroma.
I was able to get several steeps out of this tea and they were all very enjoyable. Smooth mouthfeel, sweet and floral taste with end notes of fruit, and ending the final steep on...
WuYi Mtn. Oolong Tea (Wuyi Oolong) from Foojoy
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China57 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2013
Brewed from a paper teabag stored for some time in the cupboard at my parents' house. It was surprisingly fresh and aromatic. Smells nice, but the flavor was more bitter than I like.
The tea bag contains fairly large, broken pieces of leaf, larger than in most tea bags, but smaller than in most high-end pyramid sa...
Hand Picked Autumn Tieguanyin from Verdant Tea
Style: Tie Guan Yin – Region: Anxi, Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 17th, 2013
The aroma mixes honey, orchids, lilacs, nuttiness, and freshly mown hay. The brewed leaves have the aroma of fresh vegetation and heady flowers with a slight note of chestnut.
The taste is mild and gentle, it tastes like a cup of warm honey suckle nectar with an aftertaste of chestnuts.
The second steep is simil...
Organic Oolong Tea from Ten Ren Tea
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 16th, 2013
I'm reviewing this tea from memory; it has since been discontinued, but I drank it regularly for some time, back before I had created RateTea, so I have a good sense of it.
Of all the teas I've sampled (from Ten Ren or any other company) it seemed most similar to Ten Ren's Ti Kuan Yin in tea bags--although it was no...
