One of the best oolongs that I have ever had. This stuff is great—floral, creamy, fruity.
I think I prefer it Western, but I haven’t made the time to do it much gong fu.
Rishi is a brand I don’t recall having, but glad I gave them a shot.Their packaging was beautiful. There’s a deal for something like 20% off for first time orders and free shipping on $49+ orders for anyone interested.
I’ll try to get my other reviews of their teas up soon too.
Flavors: Cream, Floral, Fruity

Rishi is hit or miss, but their hits are usually strong hits. Their regular Tie Guan Yin was one of the first that I really fell in love with…despite thinking it was too roasted after a while. Their greens really shine, their oolongs are solid to excellent, and their main stay blacks are usually on the bitter side like Assam and Ceylon, though they do have some hong cha. I’ve seen good reviews of their Four Seasons (affordable) and Lishan. I used to love the Coconut Pineapple Baozhong blend, but the recent reviews of that have not been favorible. Rishi is otherwise a company to look at via gifting, or selection of very specific rare products or mainstream teas at a specific price…even though their prices tend to be either high or low.
