“This was a very strong floral tea. I was worred this tea might be too fruity tasting for me, but did not find this to be the case. This is one of my new favorites.” Read full tasting note
“Not bad. I don’t think I like oolong too much in general because of the floral taste. This one is not too strong though, so it’s alright. Nice, mellow, warm… but not something I would need more of.” Read full tasting note

Rare Orchid Oolong from Tea Source
Fujian, China
Made from the little known Qi Lan Cultivar, this rare, regional oolong from Wuyi mountain is grown at over 1000 meters. You’ll have many opportunities to savor this unroasted Wuyi tea as the large twisted leaves hold up to many resteeps.

Second tea out of Steepster Select box this month. I have been drinking more oolongs lately, so I am feeling a little more educated in giving a review on one. This one was on the fruity side. It had depth to it, not sure if I tasted honey, but it was very good. I resteeped this twice, the third one was too weak for me, but the first and second were great. I don’t resteep much, once at the most usually, just preference I think. I like the full flavor and feel deprived a little when it is not as intense on the later steepings. Nice oolong, would definitely recommend.
Dry leaves smell like vanilla and cocoa but the tea steeping smells like vanilla flowers.
The flavor has a lot of dark chocolate notes with the floral being in the scent and not the flavor which is awesome.
This tea tastes like vanilla and 100% unsweetened bittersweet chocolate and smells like flowers. Very neat tea!!!!!!!!
From the Steepster Select box, March 2014
Second Steeping brings out a little more floral but still very dark chocolate flavors with vanilla.
Flavors: Cocoa, Flowers, Vanilla
Oh wow. I mean…WOW.
This is the first tea I tried from the March Steepster Select shipment and I’m blown away. During the first steeping, the large whole leaves unfurled beautifully and danced in my mug.
The flavor is of a very high quality mountain oolong tea, with notes of vanilla, honey, and flower blossoms.
As promised, I was able to get 4 flavorful steepings out of just one little packet.
I’ll be ordering more of this tea for sure.
Flavors: Flowers, Honey, Vanilla
I’m with you on the re-steeping of teas, usually I go for 1 bold steep, or 3min, with a 5min resteep. Unless I’m doing a gongfu session, but that’s another story altogether.
Me three ;-)
I like my teas on the BOLD side
