I loved the dong ding oolong and bi Luo chun green tea the most! Really high quality stuff!
Of course all the other teas are great as well. The travel tea caddy was also very useful if you are travelling! But yes, I do wish it is abit bigger so I could store more teas in it if I am travelling longer!
And as they have mentioned, this particular package is a really good deal! I highly recommend this because of the Dongding Oolong and the Bi Luo Chun green tea! Really superb stuff! Thank you seller! Your hard work together with the farmers are well appreciated by a lot of us ! I can’t wait to order more teas !
This is a great sample set ! I wished they had included their traditional dong ding oolong as I feel it is really their best tea, at least to me! But I got to try only 10 grams from another tea set.
All their teas are absolutely wonderful and of high quality! I can’t wait to finish this set and explore more! Thank you for your passion in tea, your art in this with all the farmers means a lot !
This is a very functional beautiful well thought travel tea set. It’s not too heavy and packs itself very well.
I also like that it is sleek and you can tell the quality of the ceramic is good. You can also see the colour of the tea when it is in the cups. Exactly as described in the description. Thank you. This was really money well spent !
this summer is very hot. Love it, 5g per liter, in the fridge all night long. very nice Ice-tea. At this price is a great deal. i can even brew it again during the day...half liter extra !
Tsui Yu was one of the first loose leaf teas my wife and I tried when I started diving into the world of tea earlier this year. It was also the first one I re-purchased in a large quantity due to, what I think, is it's incredible value. It has similar characteristics to the high mountain oolongs we find ourselves gravitating to, like the Li Shan, but a little more reserved. When brewed gong Fu I get subtle honeysuckle sweetness that migrates more towards warm earthen tones as the infusions progress in a really lovely way. I really think this particular tea shines cold brew though, the floral notes come out much brighter and the honey/malty sweetness plays really well with the cold liquid.
Overall, not the best oolong I've had, not even the best from eco-cha, but it very well may be the best value I've found for tea so far, and I plan to always keep it in stock!
Good Jin Xuan, with a characteristic taste. All for a friendly price
Very good LiShan, only just missing out on a 5 star rating. I know taste is personal, but this one had a slight hint of grass (which I prefer not to be there) and fruit/flower fragrance could be stronger.
“I really enjoyed this Ali Shan High Mountain Oolong. It has very fine, delicate floral notes that come through beautifully in each infusion. The tea has a smooth, almost silky texture and a clearly noticeable natural sweetness that lingers pleasantly on the palate. A wonderfully balanced and elegant oolong overall. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately ordered another 150g.
My friend brought me back some Bi Lou Chun from Taiwan back in 2000. Best I’ve ever had, since then I’ve been searching a chasing for a great bi luo chun, this is by far the best I’ve been able to source, its tiers above any Chinese version.
Highly recommend this tea!
A flavor adventure in four parts:
1. Mineral: clean, almost rocky, mountain-stream quality.
2. Warm roast: subtle toast, not smoke.
3. Honey: soft sweetness emerging in the finish.
4. Lingering aftertaste (hui gan 回甘) : that returning sweetness after you swallow.
Wow. Each steeping is better than the last. I adore this tea.
After being unimpressed with other Dong Dings I decided to try this. It’s amazing. Very smooth, enjoyable, and a deep honey-caramel flavor.
Ce thé fait partie de mon réveil le matin. L'odeur est délicieuse frais, aux notes d'épinard. Le goût est à la hauteur, végétal mais aussi biscuité. Je ne peux plus m'en passer
From start to finish this high mountain oolong tea was exceptional! The beauty of the tea itself, its flavours and aromas, and lingering sensations in my body will make this a staple in my tea cupboard! I highly recommend this tea.
So many oolong teas to try. All delicious. This was a real treat.
It's always a pleasure to return to this Dong Ding, I love the roasted aroma and it's consistently excellent and comforting. Highly recommended.
A tea with a wonderful combination of caramel, nutty and toasty in both its aroma and taste profiles. The tea is warming and the energizing quality builds up gradually through the sips. A good roasted tea, overall.
They look so beautiful on my tea shelf, very easy to grab and go, and they make a wonderful little gift.
The sampler has a decent variety of teas, which is great if you don't know what to order. I bought this sampler at the recommendation of a friend to try Dong Ding and Alishan oolong. I really enjoy several of the teas but gravitate more toward roasted Tsui Yu. I like the floral notes but prefer a deeper flavor. You'll find something you like in this sampler.
This is one of the best Tea I had so far, it's have a great and fresh floral taste.
I used to be a heavy coffee drinker, but now I'm more inclined to drinking this tea. I love the soft, herbal notes so much!
Love this bottle so much that I gave them to two friends and they love it too. A great travel accessory and a constant companion in my car. Currently enjoying it with gardenia oolong. Yum!
A really solid roasted oolong with a strong, but not unpleasant roast level. It may not be as complex as some of the higher priced roasted oolongs on this site, but for this price point, an excellent tea for people who want a roasted daily drinker.
A very nice sampler to get an overview - for a fair price imo. I actually bought this to taste some Oolongs but the Bi Luo Chun was a very positive surprise for me - almost reminded me a bit of artichoke in the first two brewings. And even though I typically prefer darker oolong with highe oxidation I was very happy with the more vegetal ones.
The only thing that seems a bit odd to me is the size of the caddy. It felt a bit cumbersome to open a bag, brew a cup of Oolong and then put the remaining ~14g in the caddy for 2-3 more sessions.. idk, I would prefer something larger so if I buy larger amounts (which I do plan on doing since they were delicious) I can store them well. I would also prefer a 2 lid system since the threaded parts seem to have some friction and probably loose their sealing mechanism over time. But the look of the caddy is very nice.
