84 Tasting Notes

Taiwan Sweet Summer Oolong from Life In Teacup

I quite liked this offering. It was sweet, but complex. For the price it’s an incredible bargain. – Brad – Sarah didn’t like.

Taiwan Da Yu Ling High Mountain Oolong from Life In Teacup
97

This is an excellent tea. Not at all vegetal, but not dark or toasty either. Pretty much exactly what I like in an oolong. – brad.

Formosa Oolong #8 from Adagio Teas

Too roasted for my tastes. There’s really nothing about it I like.

Green Snail Spring from Gong Fu Tea Shop

We both liked this one, though it was fairly plain. Will probably buy some.

This is an extremely flavorful oolong. It has strong notes of clove and cinnamon. It’s the perfect tea for a fall day.

This is better than the regular pi lo chun from adagio, but still terrible.
