My wife likes the tea, but I spent extra for express shipping, and it wasn't even shipped for a couple days after the order was put in, nullifying the point of the extra $20 for quick shipping.
One of my grandsons favorites! I find this tea to be a very tasty treat as well!
I like this tea. It is earthy, smooth, and slightly sweet. It has a hay like aroma that isnt entirely unpleasant but is quite strong.
Classic, medium Oolong taste. Have drank and reordered several times when not wanting to deal with a loose leaf
Now this is an Oolong! Yum! I found that for me, 3 bags per 20 oz of tea brewed for a few minutes was the perfect strength. This tea is a traditional oolong with a smoky, earthy, ever-so-slightly fruity or floral goodness. My new favorite Oolong.
HAVE ENJOYED A HALF DOZEN CUPS OF THIS TEA. IT IS GOOD AND EASY TO MAKE
Dragon oolong is one of my favorites; it's certainly good with Chinese leftovers, also pairs well with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and stands alone as a refreshing drink, both hot and iced, when you want to relax. I don't consider my stash complete without it.
I did not expect this to have such a rich and complex flavor. I won't be trading my morning black tea for it, but it is a wonderful tea to have in the afternoon or evening.
I've been a huge fan of green tea, but thought I'd try an oolong tea. I tried the Dragon Oolong tea & fell in love. I finished the tin quickly & ordered a bulk bag. Dragon Oolong is mild, but very flavorful. It feels like it has a touch more caffeine than the green tea, but not enough to make my heart race. Perfect!
This is a fairly new tea in my tea collection -- the second time I've ordered it -- and I love the faintly wood taste it leaves in my mouth, a nice change from my usual fruity black teas.
Very smooth, great hot or iced
Very nice. I much prefer the Wuyi and Ti Kuan, but this is quite good. Very earthy and floral in a good way. Wish it were 50 bags
I bought this tea a couple weeks ago knowing it would be a superior product. The Black Oolong is very good. Benefits gut health too.
My first oolong tea and I enjoyed it tremendously
The tea is delicious and comforting. Love it!
I really love this tea. It has a bold flavor but it's not overpowering. I steep for 3 minutes.
I buy this for my son. His preferred tea is oolong, and the Dragon Oolong is his favorite.
I bought a tin of this a few weeks ago and already had to come back to buy the bulk option because it's that good. I have been enjoying mine with a small splash of milk, but it certainly doesn't *need* milk. I love how smooth it is with just a hint of smokiness. This has definitely become my go-to afternoon cup of tea.
I had purchased this tea at Barnes & Noble's. I thought it was a limited time offer. I was thrillled to find refillls on the ROT site. This tea has a fullness of flavor that I greatly enjoy.
I just love this tea
Best tea for relaxation!
I love oolong tea and Republic of Tea’s Dragon Oolong has a bold oolong flavor that is a perfect everyday tea. I take it to work and make a pit of tea that I have to defend to gte death from coworkers.
I tried so many green teas and this is perfection. It has this perfect delicate taste, so well balanced. I wish they sold this loose. I tried another brand of exact same tea from the same province but came back to this one. Nothing else compares
New experience for me……I am satisfied with everything about the tea…. I mean EVERYTHING
Mild tasting and yet not as pungent as some of my black teas.
This is a classic Black Dragon worthy of steeping multiple times. It has a nuanced bitterness, bearing a woodsy and nutty aftertaste, which can come on too strong if brewed out all at once. A single teabag is worth 2-3 cups of water; or even more if you prefer a delicate flavor, as the complex aroma becomes easier to detect when the tea is made weaker. At a lower strength, the immediate bitterness disappears, and the aftertaste becomes grassy and sweet.
This is one of my favorite Republic of Tea's tea! I like being able to get the refill size and it is easy and quick to fill my original container.
Really like this oolong tea! I read that oolong tea helps with weight loss and I've dropped a couple of pounds since I started drinking it a few weeks ago. The taste is smoother compared to grocery store oolong and tastes of a higher quality.
Oolong is my absolute favorite tea.
This is a really nice, mild and sweet oolong. It reminds me of the tea we used to get at a local Chinese restaurant. I just ordered a bulk bag, since I've gone through it so quickly
This is my first try of a Dragon Oolong. It's very earthy, but less so than Matcha. It's mild, and I feel like it needs a kick in the pants for flavor. It's good for a very mellow cup
This Oolong tea tastes amazing! I love it! Buy it, you won't be disappointed!
Great Oolong!! Reminds me of my favorite Chinese restaurant's tea. Happy to have found this one!
Great taste. But like others have said, could definitely stand to be stronger. I had to leave the bag in for a full 5 before I could even taste it. Should add more leaves or don't cut them so finely, the bags are already thin enough.
Dragon Oolong is my favorite tea. It is smooth but flavorful. With some liquid creamer you have a decadent cup that gives you a nice boost for the day. I keep the container and fill with the refill bag.
This tea is so good! I love the nutty flavors with a splash of milk. I've already went through 2 cans of it and just bought my 3rd
I steep this at 195F for 4 minutes, which makes a delightfully light flavored Oolong tea. I've only had this hot but could see this good iced as well. The nose is stronger than the flavor but all told, a delicious cup
I bought this for the design on the tin to celebrate Chinese New Year and my kids’ love of dragons but was happy that the flavor of the tea was great too. Will likely buy every January
In the long-ago past, I had purchased a black dragon tea that I really liked from another brand, but then could no longer find it, so when I saw this tea advertised by Republic of Tea, I was really interested to try it. While I think it is somewhat different than the other tea (which I may be mis-remembering at this point as a stronger tea), I like the taste of this one and like that oolong has a bit more caffeine than white and green teas, while still less than black tea. It's nice to have this mid-point option. I plan to keep this product as a regular in my tea cabinet.
I thought this tea was delicious. And I added a splash of milk and it made it extra tasty!
For the longest time, I have been trying different oolong teas to satisfy my craving for RoT's Double Milk Oolong, which was sadly discontinued, only to be disappointed with every cup. Now, while the Dragon Oolong is not the same, it satisfies my craving in a different way by adding a distinct smokiness, like a dragon's breath, to the tea's aroma. Paired with milk, it is almost like a lightly roasted Double Milk Oolong. I enjoy drinking this tea throughout the day, often substituting it for my normal cup of coffee. I've found it surprisingly balancing, as I sleep very well on the days I drink this tea.
I don't normally drink Oolong teas but I would get this again.
Mom had to have this ! She loves it and says it is good for her health and makes her feel better. I guess I better go borrow some so I could try it Lol .
This is a robust tea that has a great, refreshing taste!
I am sampling different brands of oolong tea. I find republic tea to be having very little flavor. It lacks substance, bland. I have had other types of republic tea and found the quality to be excellent, but the oolong does not make that grade.
Maybe I just like oolong tea and I never knew it. This one doesn't even require sweetening, although it is also really good with some sugar.
R of T's Dragon Oolong is a smooth, subtle sipper with a sweetly aromatic quality that surpasses most others of its variety in terms of fresh flavor and a fine finish. Decidedly full-bodied as oolongs go, yet not too heavy on caffeine or aftertaste, it is a deeply delicious brew that's perfect for any time of the day or night, and is always an elegant option whether served hot or nicely iced. Given that 2024 is the "Year of the Dragon," this delightfully delicate tea is especially apropos for toasting to one's good fortune and prosperity.
Dragon Oolong has become a staple and is a smooth and balance black tea. It is tea at it's finest.
This tea has a fuller flavor then most Oolong teas. I drink with a splash of milk and still has a full flavor. Would recommend for a change if you are a black tea drinker.
I use Oolong Tea for my diet I'm on called Trim Healthy Mama. I make a special drink that requires Oolong Tea and this is the best tasting of the different ones I've tried.
While I enjoy this tea it would be soooooo very much better in a loose leaf version. One really can taste the bags.
This tea is so phenomenally delicious. Thank you, Republic of Tea. The Oolong of the Tease...
I love the dragon oolong tea! It tastes absolutely delicious
I love this tea! Would love to see more Oolong at Republic of Tea.
I like the fact that the caffeine level is in the mid-range so that as the day goes by, I can reduce the amount I am having. The flavor of the tea is unique; I like the lightness of it.
I have purchased several flavors of tea from The Republic of Tea. I made my first purchase during the holidays during Christmas. I have been blown away by how good the tea is. every flavor that I've tried has been delightful. So much so that I bought a can of tea for my daughter because she liked mine so much.
I've been looking for an oolong tea to replace my beloved Milk Oolong which was discontinued. This was not it. Smells like smoke, taste like dirt. The search continues…
Aside from teas I may have been served in Chinese restaurants, I wasn't really familiar with Oolong Tea. But I tried this one and immediately fell in love. So smooth and lovely…so satisfying. In this Year of the Dragon, it was my good fortune to find it.
This has absolutely no unpleasant aspects. Smooth, good tea taste, comfortable. A very pleasant tea.
The tea, the company is wonderful. I can't think of any reason to buy from someone else.
So smooth and flavorful. I can see why it was on back order and drink it hot with creamer. Top favorite tea.
I've been enjoying this tea for years. It has great flavor compared with other brands I've tried when traveling.
Very refreshing tea with a nice robust nutty taste. I am pleasantly surprised how much I like this and love that RoP has so many options to explore.
My daughter, who loves dragons, has decided that this is the best tea. And it is also one of my favorite teas. It's nice to share a liking for the same thing.
This tea is balanced nicely with a pleasant oolong flavor. It has almost a sweet background to it. I rated it a 4 because it would do well with a stronger flavor, but as it is, this tea works well hot, over ice, or chilled.
I'm so glad Republic of tea offers their tea in tins or by the bag. My husband enjoys this Dragon Oolong tea and it's so convenient to purchase a bag then fill the tin we have. Republic of Tea has great tea, at great prices, and thinks about the environment. Thank you, Republic for Tea!!
It's good as expected but I thought it could be a little stronger. I always like Oolong in the morning and love that it tastes in betwen green and black tea. I love it with milk and honey but it's also very good on it's own. I'm going to try the loose leaf oolong next.
I love this tea and find myself reaching for it often. I typically drink jasmine green tea but the jasmine in white tea is so nice. It's lighter and more refreshing than the green. It goes well with honey or plain. I rated the last white tea I tried as 4 stars because I didn't love it yet. I do now and the jasmine really adds to the flavor. It's just a great morning tea for me.
We drink this tea hot, but I do not doubt it would be just as great iced!
we really enjoy this tea; we keep the tin and buy the refill packs; the shipping is excellent
I'm admittedly not a tea connoisseur, but I really enjoyed this tea and it's become one of my favorites. It has an earthy flavor with a subtle sweet floral after taste.
This is the best tea I have had, period. It is a true balance of a Green and Black Tea. It is smooth, but with plenty of flavor.
Dragon Oolong is a perfect black tea. I have tried several and this is my favorite - never a bitter drop!
Drink daily. Sometimes I combine with robious vanilla. Great hot or cold. One of my 2 go to teas.
I really liked this tea. It has a really soft flavor and it brews wonderfully. I think it has a very calming feeling to it, a nice scent and a pleasant color. I think the flavor is there and it reminds me of a cool fall evening. It has subtle flavors that really make the tea complect but not harsh or abrasive. I think this is the perfect office tea, it stands up to the "stress" and allows the drinker a bit of "peace." You know if teas were magical like that (wink, wink).
If you are looking for good Chinese tea this is it.
I'm so glad I tried this one. It light and has a nostalgic hot tea taste.
Oolong tea is one of my favorites. This Oolong is wonderful in the unbleached bag with no strings. I've always liked Oolong tea leaves, loose tea, but these bags protect this tea making it easier to be portable and easier to clean up as well.
Love this flavor. It has a nostalgia to it. Reminds me of home.
This reminds me of drinking oolong in Taiwan.
For an oolong it doesn't have as much flavor notes as I would hope. It tastes sort of plain. It's not a bad tea, it's just there are so many other oolongs available that are better. I don't plan on ordering this one again.
It's a good tea. I really love oolong. I like that the flavor is between black and green tea so when I'm undecided it's what I pick up. Unfortunately, it's much easier to find different varieties of black and green teas so I haven't had many types of Oolong. I liked this one but I didn't love it. To me, it has a smoky flavor as one reviewer expressed. They really liked that but I am not as big a fan. I am not an Oolong expert and that's why I am excited to try the other varieties RoT sells once back in stock to compare. Maybe I will change my mind but until then I will give it 4 stars. A good tea but not my favorite Oolong so far.
The taste takes me back to having dim sum at China Pearl in Boston's Chinatown, something I rarely do any more since I moved to the wilds of New Hampshire.
Satisfying
I have never had oolong tea before, and was not sure what to expect. This is a layered, smooth flavor. My tastebuds get mostly black tea flavor, with some green tea flavor, plus a little something else. The blended flavor is very nice.
Havent had a good oolong in a while. This is a nice classic rich oolong. Delicious. I love the quality of the tea from Republic of Tea
First time I've tried this oolong, will enjoy it over and over.
Mild and flavorful
Ordered it again, which is rare for me, since I usually like trying new teas. I like all of Republic of Tea's oolongs. This one is solid. A staple. Nothing fancy, just quality oolong. Good for when you want something basic, but not as basic as plain black tea. Plus I love the dragon artwork on the tin.
This is one of my favorites. The oolong flavor is richer and more delicate in the Dragon Oolong than in regular oolong and I go to this on a regular basis.
Delicious oolong, would definitely buy again.
I had not had oolong tea before but after trying it I love it. It is in my rotation for caffeine in the morning. I even got my coffee drinking husband to try it and he is now a fan!
I got 250 pack for a reason. Not the strongest flavor or aroma, but just well balanced. Great afternoon or morning tea if I don't want to immediately wake up. This is the tea which I get when I don't have a preference and want something good.
Love this tea, it's one of my go to favorites
This is my favorite tea! I would recommend it as the best oolong I have drank.
This Dragon Oolong tea has a unique, welcoming, and warming flavor. It must really be tasted with interest, because it has a subtle smokiness which is experienced differently by everyone and one size does not simply fit all. Sample this tea. It is a pleasure.
this oolong tea is great, it was packed well and shipped to us quickly
This was a gift for son... he was amazed at the flavor. He just recently tried oolong tea and this brand brought the most flavor, in his opinion. When we told him the pricing, I think I heard him pass out. We have told him for years that THE place to buy tea is Republic of Tea.
Sorry to say I can't say I loved this tea. The oolong tea flavor was missing for me. I'll go back to my old brand again.
Ok I am already a loyal citizen here but for some reason have never tried the Dragon Oolong tea thinking it wouldn't be "my cuppa tea" so to speak. I love what I call regular Oolong tea and figured this would be some exotic variation. I have tried many other Oolong teas over the years but took a chance on this one and it is the Oolong I have been longing for! I think the title Dragon scared me off! This is the REAL thing!
Beauteaful cuppa
I just love Oolong Tea! This one is good, sipping as I write.
Wonderful smooth flavor, and best way to purchase if you enjoy it as I do!
Any company can say "leading purveyor of premium teas." The Republic of Tea is one of the remaining companies that means this. Dragon Oolong is my favorite among their teas...it's bold, richly fermented, never tastes musty or just bland and "ordinary." At the same time, it is not overly dark or dry tasting. I was raised by a tea drinking grandmother who not only knew TEA but how to steep it and enjoy it....and wouldn't mince words if you served her bad tea or served it incorrectly. This was my favorite tea to give her at Christmas!
Full body. Always fresh. Love this tea.
Less caffeine but rich flavor. Perfect to unwind with.
I love this tea! It's relaxing and smokey flavors just pick me up in an early afternoon!
This tea is awesome. The mild taste and delicate aroma of the peach and apricot makes it one of the best teas I've tried.
I remember that we drank Oolong tea as a child. Sodas were not in our household. Natural juices yes. But for the most part we drank tea cold and hot. Love it.
I like oolong tea and have read many things about the multiple good effects they have. I've tried various versions of oolong teabags from Republic of Tea and am completely partial to their Dragon Oolong and Milk Oolong. They are both lightly flavored, especially the Milk Oolong, so I usually brew a cup with 1 bag of each of them. That gives me the perfect combo of the flavors and depth of the brew. Of these 2 teas, I also am on my original tins because I reorder refill teabags in the bulk format of 100 or 250 bags.
When I traveled to Taiwan and China we always had Oolong tea at meetings. This tea captures a very flavorful tea.
This is the best and perfect morning tea to "wake up" my body. Delicious flavor not too strong.
After I moved to North Carolina I have not been able to find this wonderful tea. After a month of not having any it occurred to me... Website! My order was delivered much quicker than I expected. As soon as it arrived I made a cup. I am so happy. This tea has so much flavor. I am sipping and smiling as I type this. Thank you!
After being a customer for a few years I ventured out of the norm and my comfort. I received a catalog containing a sample of the dragon oolong tea, instead of passing it to someone else, I brewed up a cup and fell in love. The taste of the tea is smooth and not bitter. It is also a great after dinner tea for me , it does not keep me awake late into the night. Also I have brewed and set aside and tried it chilled, so wonderful. I look forward to my catalogs for new taste samples.
I bought this tea because of the flavor which reminds me of picking Dandelions when I was younger. Another reason is it's diuretic properties which helps with weight loss.
I bought this product because I had not heard of it before. I love tea. By the cup is preferred, great flavor not too strong a very mellow blend. So aromatic, smooth sipping
I drink this cold; always cold. Excellent!
This is the best oolong tea I have ever had. It is strong enough for my taste while also being smooth. I recommend it and will continue to order it.
For the taste!!
I loved this tea; I have heard for many years that Oolong tea is one of the best and this one sure proves it! I drink this tea whenever I can and think anyone would enjoy it (without milk and without sugar).
Yeah, this is just an all-around good quality tea. The taste is better than expected. Definitely a keeper.
I really like this tea, it gas a great mellow taste, but does not taste to strongly of flowers. Will definitely purchase again.
I loved the dragon oolong!! I love many types of tea, but oolong is one of the top ones!! Plus the Republic of Tea is SO great to do business with!! Always top notch teas and great service!!
My husband is the real fan of oolong teas, and he was very happy with this blend. He says it's one of the better ones he's tried. I myself enjoy it a lot, too. It's a bit more lively -- I'm struggling to describe it accurately -- than many other oolongs I've tried. A touch milder, maybe a bit more flavorful, I guess you could call it. Good stuff.
Very smooth and flavorful
Really nice tea.
The Republic of Tea has the best tasting tea around. I have purchasing tea from TRT for years and never disappointed. Their cups and other accoutrements are excellent also. I received received the tea very timely. I do enjoy their tea. Teddy Williams Alaska
Very smooth Love it not strong
Thanks for sending me the Dragon Oolong - it was delicous, and I am sure I will be ordering more in the future. Very smooth!!
This tea is my "daily cup"! It goes with milk or with an orange slice depending on when I'm drinking it.
Love the Dragon oolong tea! Glad you can get refill bags so I can keep the tin.
Love this tea. You will definitely find this in our tea stash
love it
I bought this as a gift for my dad for Christmas. He said "It tastes just like the never-ending pot of tea you get in a Chinese restaurant." I have looked for years for a good tea like this one. I drink a small pot everyday after lunch. May have to put it on Auto-ship.
I have recently started drinking hot tea for the health benefits and to hopefully alleviate some issues. I have tried different ones but this one is AWESOME! It is very smooth and I can drink it without adding anything to it at all. It has amazing flavor and I love it.
Add about 5 jasmine pearls in your cup along with this tea and it's awesome! Love Oolong tea and this one is great!
I use my Double Infusion Iced Tea Pitcher to make my iced tea. I admit I haven't tried other oolongs for this purpose because I'm so happy with Dragon Oolong.
This is a truly wonderful tea. I have been trying to cut back on caffeine, and this is a truly painless wonderful tasting way to do it. I will be ordering the bulk again when it runs out. Thank you.
Dragon Oolong Tea is a delightfully fragrant tea. It is smooth and light. I like to serve it with a slice of fresh orange or fresh pineapple. Even my non tea or coffee drinking friends like this one! I buy this tea in bulk, because I just can't get enough of it!
Deep and lingering; does not need any sugar or milk or lemon. Always a favorite.
So far my favorite everyday oolong--tea bags are great for quickness--but I would like to try the other ROT loose leaf oolongs for variety
I'm not a tea expert; I just enjoy drinking it, and am slowly branching out. I've only tried a few other brands of Oolong, but the Dragon is the best I've tasted. It's never bitter - though I do sweeten, and with Splenda, god save the mark. I know; but I'm diabetic. It still holds up well. It's smooth, and has a wonderful aroma. Earthy, with undernotes of woodsy spices. I love it!
We have this tea with our dinner. It is lite and subtle in flavor. Makes a great dinner or after dinner tea.
I used to brew Oolong from loose tea for years when I lived someplace with a China town or Asian food store, but now I live here with neither it's great to get a nice Oolong from ROT. I've never had it as bag tea before, but I was truly pleased when that smoky Oolong flavor hit my taste buds once again. As bag tea it's a little lighter than loose, but it is not bitter either, which loose tea can be (even when not overbrewed). Really enjoyed! I'll try the loose also--I'm sure if the Dragon Oolong bag is so good, the loose will be also.
I found this to be a great Oolong tea. It's relatively strong in flavor for being from a teabag, though if you're a regular loose leaf tea drinking I can see how it could be perceived as a bit weaker. Overall, though, for a no-fuss, throwing-a-few-teabags-in-water-in-the-morning-at-work tea, this is a great Oolong for the job.
I've never taken well to flowery or fruity Oolong teas, and this lacks both of those traits. It is bold and strong; I use one bag for two cups of tea, each equally potent and tasty. It has a crisp taste that is as refreshing cold as it is hot. The best bagged Oolong that I've ever had and better than most that I've tried from Asian importers (and at a MUCH better price!).
This is a strong, robust oolong, and as someone who consistantly enjoys lighter whites and greens, this is as bold as I like my oolong to get. Very enjoyable, but I don't find myself drinking it much in the summer, and often add a bit of honey.
This tea is not as strong tasting as other oolongs, but it is delicious. The taste is woody and robust. I love this tea b/c it is not contaminated by fruity or flowery overtones as with so many other teas. This tea is very clean tasting and is an excellent companion to many dinner time foods. It is also an excellent post-meal tea.
always the skeptic on trying a new tea I really liked this one - smooth and tasty even when my cup got cold!
I think oolong tea is my favorite. I usually drink Ti Kuan Yin, so I tried Dragon Oolong and was disappointed at how weak the flavor was. Maybe because I prefer loose tea to teabags. I wonder how other oolong tea drinkers feel.
