jade oolong

type: oolong

origin: taiwan

caffeine: medium

Jade Oolong tea from the Tung Ting mountain in Nantou county, Taiwan. A highly prized tea, Jade Oolongs are a beautiful deep green in appearance, with large, tightly rolled leaves. Once infused, these lightly oxidized leaves gradually unfurl to release their essential oils. Jade Oolongs are known for their fresh green-floral aroma, sweet flavor and clean, delicate mouthfeel. Steep at 180°F for 3-5 minutes

      Very good. Love the subtle flavors. It is good both hot and cold. I feel it would be wonderful gongfu brewed.

      Extremely good quality, neutral-tasting oolong. To little "oomph" for me to entirely endorse it. Good for when you want something that's not overwhelming.

      I adore and love this delicious green oolong. This is one of my very favorites for the afternoon. I use BEES adagio honey that, POPS' with clean, green outstanding flavor.

      This jade oolong is one very special and probably one of my very favorite oolongs. I love the very clean, delicate and the very delicious green oolongs.

      I didn't pick up on any floral notes. It was much too grassy and early for me. I was expecting something more floral and sweet from an oolong. It reminded me of a green tea.

    • 

      Pretty good - a little too light for my personal preference, but smooth, brothy with a slight spinach flavor. A bit of a mineral aftertaste.

    • 

      This is a delightful tea. Smooth and clean, not strongly flavored. I was able to resteeps three times. The first steep for three minutes was the lightest. Each following steep for longer had more color and flavor. No grassiness or astringency, just mellow. The leaves expand tenfold so you need a large space for them. I used a bowl.

      I like the smooth light taste of this oolong. Slightly sweet with just a bit of mineral nuance. Nice smooth cup of tea. I really enjoy this one when I want to relax.

      perfect morning tea. so refreshing. This tea can also be enjoyed after a full meal. love it love it

      This is a smooth and full bodied oolong with no bitterness or grassiness. I can get three steeps. Yum!

      A delicious floral green oolong, delicious both hot or over ice. It does not require sweetening, but is delicious with or without it.

      Light green tea, mildly vegetal and slightly brothy.

      This seemed like a pretty good, standard light oolong. I tend to prefer darker ones, but it's good for what it is

      Had this through the adagio CommuniTEA and absolutely loved it.

      This tea js a fairly standard lightly oxidized oolong. It tastes fresh on the palate with a strong vegetal overtone that takes up the most space in the flavor profile.

    • 

      This oolong has a nice flavor, but I didn't think there was enough to differentiate it from other similar oolongs.

      Very nice, smooth oolong. Has nice floral aroma and light green tea taste.

      Sweetly floral oolong. Very light in color. Temp brew makes all the difference.

      Pretty good overall. A bit on the sweeter side, but good flavor + smooth taste was satisfying enough

      I thought this tea had a decent floral taste. Was good with a little sweetener.

      This is a good quality oolong, not too earthy like some oolongs are!

      Strong and grassy with a jasmine note to it. Better than ali shan!

      velvety,smooth and mellow. clean and crisp flavors for an oolong.

      Really light colored liquor, lightly floral, smooth flavor. I really love this Oolong.

    • 

      This is a sweet, light tea that gives me major green tea vibes. It definitely takes well to multiple steepings.

    • 

      An amazing tea, my absolute favorite oolong. The flavor is fairly light like you'd expect with a low oxidized oolong but it's perfect. A sweetness and a floral hint. Is also great iced.

    • 

      Sweet and smokey with lingering flavor. Seriously good stuff, and possibly addictive.

      Great green oolong. Steep at 195 degrees for 3 minutes.

    • 

      Really straightfoward, fresh oolong. Not as earthy as I like, its closer to a traditional green tea

    • 

      Great oolong that's easy to drink. If you're new to oolongs, I like this one as a starter. Good for Western brewing (follow the directions), but great when brewed Gongfu-style (higher leaf to water ratio in a gaiwan or clay pot). The flavors really come out with more leaf, and it's easy to get multiple good steeps this way.

      This tea is great! I was able to reuse the leaves four times and there was great flavor in each cup!! Definitely one of my favs!
