Tealyra - Tie Guan Yin - Oolong Loose Leaf Tea - Iron Goddess of Mercy - Healing Properties - Best Chinese Oolong - 110g (4-ounce)

Wonderful tea

You cannot just give stars. You must write. I'm busy, and stars should be enough. So here's what the stars say, in writing: Great flavor preserved in wonderful, well-designed packaging with amazingly good graphic design, clean and contemporary. It smells wonderfully of tea, once the package is opened. Before that, it smells of the packaging the tea package came in. Since this is a review of the tea, ignore all that last bit. Enjoy!

Because Tealyra marketed an absolutely excellent "superfine Jasmine dragon pearls green tea", delicious and smooth and fragrant, I expected its oolong to be similar in quality. It may be due to previous experience with other oolongs, even in Oakland Chinatown's better tea shops, but this brew was tepid in flavor and body. I suppose doubling the amount per cup and brewing longer did shift it a bit stronger, but it is still the greenest oolong I ever had. You may like such a different style, but I will not purchase again.

Very nice all the Tealyra teas are worth trying!

A bit powerful, and definitely a taste that not every tea lover will find to their liking, but we definitely like this tea and will be getting more! A deep, slightly fungal funk with a crisp green flavor. Brews quickly at 190F and stands up to multiple steeps well!

good green tea with reasonable price, not the best though.

Absolutely love everything about this tea.

It smells like green tea and tastes like Lipton green tea cheap, tarte, not much flavor. From my research it was supposed to have a flowery note, but it doesn't. Also, to brew a cup it takes a table spoon of leafs, which is a lot for that price. Very disappointing. It was my first time trying oolong but very disappointed. It came in a plastic bag that after opening it 3 times it started to break at the zip lock. Also, on the bag was a coupon code expiring in December 2019. That makes me question how fresh it is. Save your money and get the tea from somewhere else. I am sorry this review is so negative, however, I really wanted to like it and was excited for it, especially after all the positive reviews.
