The Tao of Tea, Black Dragon Oolong Tea, Loose Leaf, 3.5 Ounce Tin

Delicious , dark oolong tea. Great taste and aroma

These tea leaves aren't chopped up bits of dust and stems like a Lipton tea bag, these are whole leaves curled and rolled. That alone speaks to the quality. When steeping it's best to not contain in a tea ball or other common infusion devices, but instead let free floating to fully unravel as it steeps and then strain off. These leaves benefit from the gongfu tea tradition with multiple short steeps of only 30 seconds and tossing the first steep as a rinse rather than drinking it (as is the custom in the gongfu tea tradition). Each successive steep being different in flavor from the last. The tin is excellent storage to maintain freshness and the first rounds of steeping have a great dark red color.

But this tea is fantastic! My new favorite. Perfect for morning or afternoon. A sophisticated flavor profile that’s great brewed western style or Gongfu style. Follow the instructions and you’ll get maximum enjoyment!

It's decent oolong for the price. The leaves are not whole, just loose bits with stems. The aroma is normal oolong. The flavor is mild and I was able to get three 12oz infusions out of 1 1/2 teaspoons. Compared to restaurant oolong, its not as flavorful because restaurants use dark oolong (which is heavily oxidated /baked/roasted, longer). Overall, I would buy again.

Nice, natural tea taste.

This tea has a nice flavor & texture; black & clumpy.

This not taste like a true oolong tea. I agree with other reviews stating it has a coffee flavor to it. It definitely does, I think it's because it was so dark roasted.Pictures are of the leaves before steeping, after one wash, and two steeps. So if you expect beautiful tea leaves to unfurl it's not going to happen with this tea.Also highly recommend a wash! You can see how dusty it is in the container. ✌️💕

Would buy again
