LWXLJMJZC-(50Cups) Natural Fujian Jade Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea Loose Leaf - Tie Kuan Yin Te100g/3.5oz

Sure this is the real deal. Smells milky and tastes milky. Would defo time buy again!

It's very important to not use too much tea, or leave it to steep for too long - if you do then it tastes like a seaweed broth.Even with that taste I could still see why millions of people might like it as it's so smooth.After I brewed the first lot and found that the dehydrated leaves were attempting to escape the filter due to them having increased in volume so much, much more than any other tea I have previously made, it was obvious I had messed something up, so I decided it probably wasn't fair to review based on that experience.So I drank that pot, and made another 2 pots from the same leaves (so 6 cups in total) and it 'improved' - still not to my taste, but I could see why other people might like it.Today I made another batch.I measured the tea, rather than just using the one and a half heaped teaspoons that I use for all other teas in that pot. 3g per 200ml of water so for a 500ml pot I used 7g. I also closely timed it's first steep, about 1 minute and 15 seconds.I used water that had been left for a couple of minutes after the kettle boiled, no idea what temperature that is but it's got to be a few degrees short of boiling.The result is an almost imperceptible colouring to the waterWhen brewed correctly it's nice, it still has the smoothness of the first batch, it's almost totally clear of any sediment, and it has a very subtle taste, probably of Oolong tea (I've never had it before so I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like, other than that it probably shouldn't taste of boiled seaweed lol)Very early days, like most teas it's, at least for me, an acquired taste, but I don't actively dislike it.Possibly I may buy more, I've still got a lot of it to get through before that decision needs to be made.

I love herbal tea and have a whole collection. I have had Oolong tea before but this Taiwan Alishan Jin Xuan Oolong tea is something else. The flavour is like no Oolong tea I had ever tasted before.The pack is vacuum sealed and contains 150g loose leaves. I brew about 1 teaspoon of leaves in hot water for a few minutes. The leaves tend to expand. The tea is a light yellow colour. I reuse the leaves during the day to brew another cup or two.I love the flavour. So much nicer than the usual tea bags I normally have. Recommended.

This product was sent to me to review, as part of Amazon Vine. Below is my own real-world experience of using it.I was particularly drawn to it, as I have never previously tried Oolong tea before, and was interested in the health benefits it may offer. For that reason, my review will be from a very novice perspective.To make it, I placed a teaspoon full into my small sieve, and let it brew in a cup full of hot (not boiling) water for a few minutes. During the process, I noticed how much the tea expanded - care should be taken not too accidentally use too much, based on that.Once prepared, there was an earthy/herby aroma to the drink, which wasn’t overly strong. I would say that the flavour was very similar, yet smooth. I didn’t like it on its own, but found it to be much more to my taste once I had added some sweetener. Obviously, taste is subjective, so mileage may vary.Overall, a good value item.

I'm a big tea drinker but I've never tried Oolong tea before. Apparently it lies somewhere between green tea and English breakfast tea. So it can be quite light in colour (nearer to green tea) or a bit darker and closer to breakfast tea. This version is fairly light in colour.It took me 3 attempts to successfully make a cup of this. I used a steel ball tea infuser. The type with the spring loaded jaws for an individual cup. The first time I fully loaded the tea infuser but the tea leaves expanded so much that they pushed the jaws open filling the cup with pieces of leaves. The second time I half filled it and had the same problem. The tea leaves expand a crazy amount. You only really need a very small amount of leaves and the third time it worked a charm.I usually like floral light teas but I'm not sure about this one. It could be I'm still making it a bit strong (I usually like strong tea). A bit more experimentation, and research, is needed I think.Overall it's a good product. It arrived nicely packed and the leaves are very fresh. If you like Oolong tea I'm sure you'll be happy with this one. For me I need a bit more time with it to find the perfect amount and brewing time.

Just under a level teaspoon of leaves is sufficient for a fairly strong mug of tea. I sense quite a caffeine kick. The flavour is robust and well-balanced with the aromatic and fragrant notes that I like in more expensive teas.

I was interested to try this tea after reading other reviews but I can honestly say I don't get the 'creamy taste' comments and didn't find that to be the case for me. I enjoy herbal teas but this one just didn't grab me. I found the taste very bland although not unpleasant at all.I made the tea as stated and even tried it a second and third time after reading the reviews and adjusting it but when all was said and done I personally didn't find it flavoursome and particularly as its quite an expensive tea.I can see others love it but its just not for me.
