Small-batch techniques create a standout oolong tea. Grown high in the Nantou mountains of Taiwan, this world-renowned oolong tea is hand-plucked from the first new growth in early spring. It takes a full 24 hours to produce a 2 lb bag of tea, as each bud and leaf is carefully oxidized, rolled and fired in small batches. Sweet floral with notes of magnolia flower and a cream finish.
Not a completely bad tea but definitely not one of my favorite teas. Something about the taste just does not remind me of other oolongs. The flavors from other oolong teas that I like are not found in this tea. This tea leaves an almost dry taste in my mouth.
I was sure I’d reviewed this before but it’s not showing up if I did. I’ve only gotten probably two good cups out of my large quantity of this that I started with. This particular cup was not a good one but a better overall representation of this tea. It’s vegetal and not in a good way. It also is somewhat metallic tasting and tastes a bit like mud. The more pleasant cup I’ve had of this had some lovely creamed corn notes and greens.
Flavors: Corn Husk, Metallic, Mud, Vegetables
Sounds like you’re forcing your way through the bag :/
Oof. Sounds bad. We have a Tung Ting from Tin Roof Teas that we love, mainly with breakfast. It may be sourced from Teageschwendner.
It was a gift from a family member but I’m definitely trying to finish it off. It’s mostly stems compared to leaves and I wonder if that’s part of the issue. Red Blossom has a lovely Tung Ting Tea from what I recall.
Sad to hear – I find that once teas taste metallic, that’s kind of the end of their life. I really dislike that flavour. Tung ting should be so creamy and delicious (in my recollection)!
A delicious and smooth oolong tea with a mildly sweet body and a slightly salty top note. I find when brewed stronger, the finish takes on a bit of a creamy feeling. I find the vegetal notes much milder and smoother than many green oolongs I’ve tried, and the brew is not overly astringent.
Flavors: Cream, Salt, Sweet, Vegetal
i normally love oolong tea, but this one I did not particularly enjoy.
It tasted extremely vegetal, like the way the water in a can of creamed corn smells.
I also made some iced, and it moderately tasted better iced in my opinion, it made the tea taste more fresh and green and less like corn water.
Flavors: Corn Husk, Cream, Mud, Vegetables
I’ve noticed that when the leaves unfurl, there are long stalks attached to them. I don’t know if this makes a difference in the quality or taste. Anyway, I give up. That’s $20 wasted.
Flavors: Bitter
