Wuyi Oolong Full-Leaf

The Cup of Poetry - This hand-picked tea is prized for its large silver-tipped leaves and pure peach flavor. Highly aromatic, completely lacking in astringency, this oolong has the flowery upper register of a top-grade Darjeeling, but with a rounder, deeper, fuller cup. Its flavor has been compared to chestnut, honey and peaches. This tea makes a delightful cup.

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...

5 Stars	Pretty good Oolong	January 17, 2013
Lindsey J. Houston, TX	This is a good, well-rounded Oolong. It does not taste like peaches or honey. I'm not sure where they got that. If it tasted like any of the descriptions, I would say it would be chestnut. Mostly it tastes like any other oolong. Nothing to write home about. It's a good tea and I would buy it again. Has a decent second steeping using half the water used for the first steeping.

5 Stars	Outstanding Oolong	December 17, 2012
joel Toronto, ON	If you like or love Oolong, you will love this one. It's so smooth, almost sweet. When I've finished my cup, I'm still wanting for more. No sweet flavors, just pure Oolong at its finest. Yum.

5 Stars	This tea is excellent	December 11, 2012
Eddie Cincinnati, OH	A co-worker of mine from China would bring in Oolong tea. It was excellent and I've been looking for something like it ever since, but have always been disappointed. Not anymore. This tea is excellent. I was not disappointed. Actually, I was delighted.

	good but not the best	November 23, 2012
leah nyc, NY	a good tea but i don't think it's the best. it's very robust so a little goes a long way. other than that, i don't there is anything particularly special about this tea.

5 Stars	Delicate floral & smooth balance	August 03, 2012
Becky Mobile, AL	This was a wonderful choice. I was able to re-brew my leaves 5 times. The flavor was well balanced, and there was no acidic after flavor. I loved the subtle floral hint.
