Very Disappointing: almost no flavor!
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

This is the only Republic of Tea product that has ever truly disappointed me. This tea has almost no flavor, but is quite expensive (I do have a subtle palate). Not worth the money.

Wuyi Oolong Loose Leaf
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Have finished my first tin and am purchasing the refill already. This loose leaf tea is absolutely delicious if you like oolong. It's a deeper, yet light & rich taste, a bit earthier peachpit flavor than the Dragon Oolong which is also delicious in the tea bag. Loose leaf Wuyi was reused at least one more time at full flavor, then composted

Delicious tea flavor
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been reading about the healthy benefits of oolong teas and this Wuyi Oolong Full Leaf sounded like something I'd like to try. It's light but full of straight on tea flavor. Really enjoy several cups in the morning. I enjoy it unsweetened (isn't bitter) or sometimes with a bit of honey.

I recently had oolong tea at a local Dim Sum restaurant. It was so good. smooth with no astringency. I wanted to have some at home so I ordered Wuyi Oolong from Republic of Tea. . I am not disappointed. This tea is very delicious. Smooth and no astringency--just like at the restaurant. It's worth every penny!

My favorite cup of tea....
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love the soft, gentle, non-astringent taste of this Wuyi Oolong. I find it absolutely delightful. Such a smooth light taste. In the afternoon, I brew a small pot (I prefer to not bring the water to a boil. Just under, at about 195°F) and savor one or two cups in fine bone China. It lifts my spirits.

Wuyi Oolong for Oooo so Long Life!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I got this tea purely for it's medicinal qualities and was SO happy when I found it has a delicious taste too! It's rich in antioxidants and polyphenols... all of which can help improve one's cardiovascular health AND reduce inflammation throughout the body (a biggie for me as I'm an active but older person). It can help boost cognitive function and memory recall (another biggie for me as I age). It's also great for teeth (I always slosh it around in my mouth for a bit), bones and apparently makes a good hair rinse as well which I have not as yet tried, but plan to. Japanese people believe it slows the aging process because of it's many health benefits and thus helps longevity... well all one has to do is look at their lifespans to know there's probably some merit in that belief. So with every sip I take of this tea, I toast a healthy longevity!!!

I wish to have the bad review of Wuji Oolong tea removed.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I replaced my "tea maker", which is actually a coffee brewer, and the flavor of my tea was back to normal. The poor flavor of the tea was my fault, not the tea! I am sorry I wrote a bad review. Wuji Oolong has been my favorite tea for at least 5 years. It is the only thing I ask my adult children to get for me for Christmas.

The champagne of oolong teas
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This wuyi is probably the best oolong I have ever had! The milk oolong is a solid, competent product, but this variety borders on unbelievable: smooth as with all real oolongs, delicious aftertaste, suitable for double infusion (the second one is even better...). I would recommend this variety to any tea drinker who appreciates smoothness and flavor.

Wuyi
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Wuyi Oolong is my go-to tea. I began drinking it because of its health benefits, 16 years ago, but honestly, I keep drinking it for the pure enjoyment. I order loose leaf tea, and usually brew one cup in the morning. As i enjoy that cup, I steep the tea leaves so that I can enjoy cup #2. I drink mine with sweetener and a splash of milk. The tea leaves are steeped 2 more times, the 3rd time longer and the last time I just walk away and leave it steeping. Later, when I am ready for a glass of delicious iced tea, it is waiting for me. I buy the loose tea in bulk and refill my tin. Other teas have their allure, but once I run out of Wuyi, I really miss it! I have not found another tea that enjoy as much as Wuyi Oolong!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Wuyi Oolong is one of the most expensive teas - or do you might think. I enjoy one teaspoon per cup in the morning, brewed three times! It is amazing how much tea come from just that one teaspoon! I started drinking Wuyi Oolong for its health benefits. It quickly changed to choosing it just for its flavor. My morning is just not complete without my Wuyi Oolong!

Best Tea for Making Kombucha
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I make small batches of fermented tea called Kombucha. If you don't know what this is, you can Google it and find a lot of information. If you buy Kombucha at Fresh Market or Whole Foods, it can become an expensive habit. Luckily, Kombucha is easy to make at home. I've experimented with different teas, and I like the Wuyi Oolong Full-Leaf tea from Republic of Tea the best for my brewing. The tea leaves are of the highest quality, very fresh, and are huge after steeping. The brewed tea is clear and has a beautiful color. I haven't made a cup of Wuyi Oolong just to drink since I don't drink a lot of hot tea. But I'm in love with fermented tea and these leaves are the best for home brewing.

Pretty good Oolong
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

I Found it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Many years ago I drank a tea in a Chinese restaurant that I liked extremely well. Though it wasn't sold in any of the major food stores, the restaurant owner gave me the name of store in the Chinese district where I could buy it. Whenever I ran out of the tea, I would go downtown to the Chinese district, and buy it by the bulk. Back then, tea was not very expensive, and I would buy enough to last at least 6 mos. It was an Oolong, but had a certain flavor to it that other Oolong's did not have. Later, the store where I bought it was no longer in business, and over the years, I tried various Oolongs, but none tasted like the tea I loved. When I ordered your Yu-Wi Oolong, I didn't really expect it to taste like the one I used to buy, but was surprised that it has the same flavor as the original Oolong I so enjoyed. I am glad to have found it again, though it's far more expensive than it was back in the day.

a little different Oolong
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is a bit on the pricy side, but it's worth it as it is a very nice Oolong. The aroma is very nice; it's almost sweet. It also has a "young" or a "tender" taste as compared to other Oolongs, just as the description says, no astringency. I am not sure if it is a pick that is younger than other leaves, but it does taste like that is the case. If you like Oolongs, you should get the taster tin and decide if this is the one for you.
