Formosa Bai Hao (Oolong #40)

Tasty middle of the road Oolong. It’s good to prep the leaves and open them up by pouring some hot water and discarding before steeping.

Really enjoyed this tea. It has become my special friends tea when my tea liking friends come over.

This is the first oolong I fell in love with. I have then discovered that I prefer roasted oolongs. I haven’t found this anywhere else but in Adagio.

I steeped this tea 2-3 times and was pretty dissappointed at first. It was incredibly bland and dull. However, the fourth steep I just went all in and steeped two teaspoons at 205 for around 5 minutes. When I smelled the liquor I had to do a double take! It smelled like someone has poured peach juice in my cup. Let it go long like everyone suggests! This can be a great tea!

Deliciously smooth, yet complex oolong

This one is pretty good tea, but you have to be careful to use enough leaves. The leaves are very lightweight, so I recommend using more than a teaspoon per cup. I have used too few leaves before, and the result is a sort of woody taste. This tea is pretty good for everyday use, but it doesn’t have the delicious complexity of the best Taiwanese oolongs.

First time having a cup of #40. New to Oolong so I thought i would buy this one. Used the default from Adagio. 2 tps, First cup 15sec. The sweetness already coming through wow.

Very good, dark Oolong. Picked up the sampler tin out of the cupboard not knowing much about it until I started to drink it and noted how nice and complex it is. Weak Oolongs really irk me, so this one wasn’t a problem. I would say one of the better dark Oolongs I have had in awhile. It is worth the extra cost. Try sampler first and I don’t think you will be disappointed. Definitely can handle multiple steeps.

A special tea for a special time. My all time favorite tea. Ever. Period!

Scent of honey but great taste of Oolang. A good one from Adagio :)
