China Fujian Oolong Tea

i served it over 663times when i worked for part time in resto. it was not a bestseller cause normally people are not familiar with tea oolong in paris, When it comes to its price vs quality, it’s great deal. it’s neither too strong or too mild, smells like wood but i can’t describe it with the words like fantastic or horrible, just like a dried wood.. i’ve only tried in straight way, without sugar or milk.

I discovered this at a Chinese mall and i was pretty excited to try this tea. Flavor wasn’t very exciting. It was just a generic roasted oolong. The flavors were a bit flat. Roasted coffee with a little bit of char and cigar. This is a nice tea to enjoy when i don’t want to drink my high end stuff.

Simple, unoffensive, oolong tea with roasted notes.

Kind of boring, honestly. But for that price, it is very cheap.

So, note to self: bring this tea to work and don’t forgot bringing a cup as well.

A bargain indeed. There are several variations around the same basis under the brand name Seadyke, held by the Taetea company. Each one has a different nulber. This one is AT206, I tried AT202 and AT304. They taste almost the same with very little differences. They are very decent roasted oolong for the price, and I appreciate them better than much more expensive teas that I had tasted. This one offers more roundness among the three receipes.The more of this tea you put in your little pot, the more fragrances you can get from it, so I recommand short sessions almost gongfucha style with large amounts 7 to 8 g at least for 100ml.

I grabbed this today, because 125g for less than $2 was worth taking a chance on, and I was kind of charmed and amused by the brand name.

This is okay. Nothing spectacular. It’s a pretty simple oolong without a lot of nuance. Roasty, woody, earthy notes that are a wee bit smoky on the finish, but that don’t really develop much. Still, perfectly drinkable and you can’t really beat that price.

The dry leaf is dark and crinkled. Not quite rolled into balls, but not really twisted either. Somewhere in between. It smells like the steeped cup tastes.

If you’re looking for a complex oolong this is not it. But for something simple to sip and not pay much attention to, you can’t really beat the value for your money.

Curious, I purchased this tea at a heath-food store: I read something, somewhere regarding the health benefits of Oolong tea—I have since forgotten what those benefits are. I’d also read something, somewhere, saying Oolong is the tea served at Chinese restaurants, so, I figured I’d try it. This is an earthy tea which will probably take me some getting used to.

I was really hoping this one would be good. I got this one and another one in a yellow box from the same brand while I was in Hong Kong. The leaves smell like raisins for some reason. When you steep it, it smells like wood. Or something. The taste is okay, but that smell is so overpowering that I just can’t drink it. My quest for good oolong continues…

earthy, delicate, rich, smooth.
I found this at a local Asian grocery store, and was surprised to find that it was a lovely loose leaf, and not nearly as expensive as most Oolongs.
