Oolong Tea Collective | Loose Leaf Oolong Tea | 100% Natural Taiwan Farm Direct (Jade Oolong, 16 Ounce (Pack of 1))

I can drink this in any occasions; morning to work with little extra wake up call but does not have to deal with the bad smell from coffee, lunch time with the tea could clear up the oily food or something to warm up the stomach from cold salad, and afternoon with biscuits on weekends to enrich the flavors of the salmon with bagel, or even a slice of sandwich. I really enjoy having a sip of tea in any moments of my life. High quality with strong oolong tea flavor. This tea certainly exceeded my high expectations! Great value purchase and I will definitely purchase again when I finished them.

8oz Jade Oolong I am very picky about my oolong tea, and I have to say, this is some VERY GOOD QUALITY tea! I am so sick of all the fake and bitter oolong tea in the market, so I really can't believe I am able to find freshly harvested Taiwanese oolong tea without having to travel all the way to Taiwan. Trust me, you'll be amazed by the quality of this whole leaf tea!! The tea flavorful and has a remarkable long-lasting floral aroma. You will definitely love it!!

Very good taste and smell, the package looks like not original from Taiwanise tea factory

Organic is good and so is the price but I could not make this tea strong enough. More tea leaves, more time did not produce what I was looking for. All I got was more tannins, never enough flavor.

Jade Oolong: Slightly sweet and a touch dry(astringent) in taste that isn't bitter. The tea leaves opened into a healthy set in the pot, no odd scents or flavors. At its core, you get a nice clean taste of maybe others call it Grassy, but its much smoother and tempered here that I can't help but think green leaf. Its not strong or harsh unlike some green teas, and its melded with the sweet hint of honeysuckle and nectar. Its clean and crisp to the point I can't help but think it would be a travesty to add anything to this tea, hot or cold, as it would destroy the profile. As someone who grew up on sweet iced tea, I can't help but prefer a pitcher of Jade Oolong cold and unsweetened to hit the spot during the summer heat. I'll still drink my southern sweet tea ... but oddly only because I already finished my pitcher of this. Four Seasons Oolong: While I can taste the slight sweetness and a hint of green leaf on the palate when I look for it, this Oolong tastes more along the lines of coffee for those wondering what to expect. The toasted taste strengthens the astringency (dry flavor) to a notably lasting taste/feeling. I wouldn't mind adding a bit of cream or milk to this tea, though adding sugar/honey still doesn't sit right for this tea as the underlying sweetness is still there and not bitter. Compared to a cup of coffee? Its around a medium to medium-dark roast, lacking acidity, and notably astringent with an undertone/aftertaste of sweetness instead of slightly bitter to bitter taste of dark roast coffee. In the end? Jade Oolong is my preferred choice, but not for meals or snacks. Its crisp and clean taste would be lost if consumed along other food. Four Seasons on the other hand tend to be an alternative to my morning coffee on some days, or consumed alongside snacks or meals. That toasted and astringent flavor easily cleanses something like a scone from the palate for the next bite.

I have previously purchased this and other products from this seller and I was happy with my orders. However, this time the tea that I got was definitely not harvested in 2022. From my experience I would say this was harvested around 2020. When I first open the bag and try to smell the tea I could barely smell anything. I found that very odd and try to shake the bag a bit so I can get more smell out of it. This time I was able to smell something that smelled like 2+ year old loose tea that I forgot that I had. Then I looked in the bag and about 70-80% of the oolong rolled leaves looked black and this should of been a light roast. I have purchased this exact product from this seller before and none of the leaves were close to this color. At this point I realized that this is most likely is a scam and I got a tea that was probably 2+ years old. At this point I was not sure if this tea is drinkable. After making the cup the color was much darker than it should be and it had very little smell. The tea leaves in the infuser looked a bit slimy and I have only seen that in extremely old tea that I forgot that I had. I try to take a small sip and realized that this tea is none drinkable. I am going to see if amazon is going to give me a refund. I am definitely not buying from this seller ever again.

I drink this tea over 3 years. I have to say this is the best tea for a reasonable price I can afford. :) Don't get me wrong. I am not poor. I just like this tea very much. Over several years, the quality is very stable. Very good tea. I also never have problem to sleep even drink the tea in late night.

First of all the service at The Oolong Collective is fantastic. At this point I have had 3 of their teas. All have been Absolutely EXCELLENT! This particular tea is exceptional if you are a fan of roasted sweet honey nectar tastes. You will LOVE this tea. I keep it at work and home. You can get 6to 8 steeps with ease and still have fantastic taste. If you havent tried the Jade and Four Seasons oolongs. They are excellent as well. And Amy is the greatest to deal with. A pure pleasure to do business with !
