Chinese Oolong

Hmmm I was kinda surprised to see this at work…so why not. Yeah it’s not bad. It exceeds what I expected. Reminds me of the oolong that Dynasty puts out. A decent dark oolong at a nice price. Can’t beat that in a pinch.

Bigelow has done a good job of capturing the sweet-n-toasted taste of a traditional oolong in a bag. Convenient for work or travel.

I really don’t know how I feel about this tea. It’s not bad, but it’s not good you know? I haven’t given up on it yet. I’m going to try a milder brew of it next time. I brewed it 2 bags in 2 cups of water the first time. What also perplexes me is that my local asian bistro serves oolong, and it comes out looking light green. This tea is a caramel color. So who is pulling the oolong switch? I really don’t know. Maybe it’s because this is “Chinese” oolong and the other is a Japanese oolong? I need to do more tea research and get back to you on this one. Suffice it to say I don’t think the taste is worth the price of the box.

I haven’t tried a lot of oolongs, and I think this is the first bagged oolong I’ve tasted. It’s good, not outstanding, but better than I expected from a bagged tea. Nice mellow flavour with a bit of a slightly smoky aftertaste. I have to say, I don’t find the smell of oolong tea very appealing, but that doesn’t really detract from my ability to enjoy the tea overall. I rarely ever drink tea with milk, but I’d like to try some in this in the future.

Wow I am really impressed at the quality. If I did not personally brew it from a teabag I would think somebody was puling my leg if they said that it was brewed from a teabag. The tea has a nice smooth dark roast oolong, if you enjoy dark roast TKY than you will like this tea, if nothing else as a nice travel tea when loose leaf tea is not an option.

Thoroughly enjoyable, albeit almost bland.

brews as dark as a black tea, has a hint of smoke and spiciness that gives it more depth than I"d expect from a bagged oolong and makes it linger on the tongue.

Ever since my first cup,Oolong has always been one of my favorites. Despite being my favorite,Oolong wasn’t so great for me at first;but that’s what made me curious to try and let it grow on me. With risk came rewards and it was a delight. It’s always good to have some Oolong in your cupboard and Bigelow makes a good blend.

Not my favourite Oolong brand, but it’s always fresh and has a buttery flavour which is appealing to me. The problem is that if you over-steep it, it tastes like a mouthful of dirty grass mingled with an odour of cat pee. A quick 2-minute splash and it’s ready to go!

This is actually one of my favorite oolongs — I like it even better than expensive organic offerings I’ve tried. It’s hard to describe what I look for in a good oolong flavor, but this one is just about right to me, I guess; it straddles the dividing line between grassy green and robust black very well.

Pretty nice oolong tea. Not much to say about it, I guess. I’ve had better, but I’ve definitely had worse. Maybe a tiny bit astringent for my taste – leaves my mouth dry after I’ve finished drinking it.
