Tea Review: Mark T. Wendell Imperial Gold Oolong
July 28th, 2010 By: JillianI have to say that I feel a little spoiled with the size of the samples Mike’s been giving me, there’s a good 30-40g of tea in this pouch, for instance! Dry it has a sweet, vegetal scent, and the leaves are rolled like most green oolongs – although fairly loosely in this case – and the leaves look to be a bit paler than what I normally see. The steeped tea reveals…

July 5th, 2010 By: Spencer EWhen I opened the package on this tea, I noticed that the smell was wonderful. It was light and sweet in harmony with a flowery oolong smell…
Tea Review: Canton Tea Mi Lan Dan Cong – Phoenix Honey Orchid
May 15th, 2010 By: Spencer EFirst impressions of this tea upon opening the package: It smells old, and it smells like lemon. Not a bad old, but just…aged. There was also a bit of honey in the smell. When I poured the water over the leaves, there was a really strong smell of flowers, but not an overwhelming smell…
Tea Review: Canton Tea Co Ali Shan Oolong Tea
May 14th, 2010 By: GretchenMy husband accused me of huffing this tea. I don’t know I’d go that far, but oh my goodness, the olfactory treat when I opened the package! This tea smells amazing. Hints of apricots smothered in cream in a sea of oolong-y goodness. I couldn’t wait to get it steeping…
Tea Review: Canton Tea Co Yu Lan Dan Cong
May 14th, 2010 By: Mike DoroshThis oolong from Canton Tea, hailing from the Wu Dong Mountain, Chao Zhou / Guan Dong, China. Yu Lan is associated with magnolias, and Dan Cong indicates a tea picked from a single bush. (There is some controversy in the Tea world about “single bush” vs another interpretation of the word as ‘single trunk’, a sub varietal in which tea trees uncommonly…
Tea Review: Canton Tea Co Big Red Robe Oolong Tea
May 10th, 2010 By: Spencer ETo brew this tea, I used about a tablespoon of leaves and four cups of boiling water. Steeped in a glass teapot, it was easy to see the leaves as they released a burnt orange liquor. Upon initially steeping this tea, the first thing I noticed was the incredibly light mouthfeel…
Tea Review: Imperial Tea Garden – Orange Blossom Oolong Tea
April 27th, 2010 By: JenniferBRecently I was introduced to Imperial Tea Garden Teas. I LOVE trying teas from companies I have never tried from before. One of the teas I tried this week was their Orange Blossom Oolong..
Tea Review: The Simple Leaf Honeybee Oolong
March 26th, 2010 By: MikeI love this tea. Enough said? Not even close. Honeybee Oolong from The Simple Leaf is, simply put, affordable heaven in a cup! Harvested in the mountains of Nepal, this traditionally made Oolong tea is produced only in tiny quantities, according to the Simple Leaf website…
Tea Review: TeaFrog Formosa Oolong Finest
March 16th, 2010 By: Mike DoroshOolongs come from primarily 3 regions Fujian & Guandong provinces PRC, and Tiawan. The mainland oolongs tend to have a savoriness to them – some describe this as a buttery feel. The Taiwan produced Oolongs, tend to be more delicate, and have a sweetness to them…
Tea Review: Tea Forte Silk Oolong
December 29th, 2009 By: MikeI love Tea Forte. Every single tea that I have tried to date has been flavourful, without being overwhelming. I also quite enjoy Oolong Tea. To date, I have mostly focused on the darker, more oxidized Formosa Oolongs, and enjoy the robust flavours that they produce. With that in mind, I reached for the Tea Forte Silk Oolong this morning to give it a try…
Tea Review: Rishi Tea Citron Oolong
October 22nd, 2009 By: LesleyI love the look of this tea with it’s definite bits of floral, lilac and orange peel. The pale greens and yellows accented by hints of mauve and black. This is a tea I consider a standard in my tea cupboard and one I reach for often when a standard black just isn’t what I am looking for. Steeped for 3 minutes at 180, this has a mild, subtle fragrance, with definite citrus tone, orange and lemons…
