After quickly rising the leaves and discarding this brew, I then make the first and subsequent infusions. i find the tea very smooth with mainly roasted notes and hints of sweetness, without any bitterness at all. DHPs are made from special tea leaves that are usually 80 percent oxidized. DHPs should be dark, brooding, smooth, and mysterious teas. For the price, I recommend this tea if you would like to be introduced to DHPs. I find this is a great tea to make iced and bring in a water bottle to the gym or drink when on the go. Oolong tea is renowned for weight-loss, so this is also a great work-out tea. Next time, I will probably splurge and purchase the higher grade DHP, since I liked my first introduction to this interesting tea.

similar to an xi tie guan yin, but with soft osmanthus fragrant

Excellent tea. I agree with others that the liquorice is a little strong.

Amber color with a little bit of bite.Still young should get better with age.Good for 2-3 infusion.

on the it looks better than in real life. well, very beautiful when brewed. comes with straws in the set.

Ive been drinking Oolong tea for about 6 months now and this is one of my favorites. I dont have a bunch of fancy words to describe the flavor of this tea but I will say its awesome and you will not be disappointed. I had a nice subtle honey flavor yet not too sweet. A nice vegetal taste and a beautiful golden yellowish color. The leaves had a nice dark shade of green and looked to be of very high quality. This was my first time ordering from ChineseTeaArt and I purchased this tea and the Jade oolong and these are now my two favorites. I tried ordering from other companies and trying a variety of oolongs, mostly taiwanese high mountain type oolongs. The teas I have ordered from ChineseTeaArt are the highest quality I have found yet, and no, I dont work here. I only bought 50 grams of this tea so I could try it out. I just put in an order for 200 more of each (and a pu-erh) so I dont run out before this batch does. (of both this and the Jade oolong)

It's O.K. for this tea, especially when have a long chat with friends.

Amazing aroma, but for me thats where the story ends. This is without doubt the most forgettable China black i have had in the last few years, its a shame because the smell promised so much. I love ChineseTeaArts keemun xian zhen and frankly i dont see the point in drinking this when i could be drinking that lol. I apologise to any fans this tea may have .

Very smooth flavour, with a hint of ripe peach blossoms. Many infusions are possible.

One of the best cups of tea I've enjoyed in a long long time! Too bad I'm developing a taste for one of the more expensive teas offered... Nevertheless, this tea was everything I imagined it would be when I first ordered it. I received the smallest amount I could buy, figuring to sample it a bit and move one; but within a couple of sips I was completely entranced by the experience! I will most definitely purchase much more of this one. It has an entirely civilized effect on the palate and leaves a clean and refreshing aftertaste. If I were endeavoring to introduce someone to the new experience of exotic Chinese teas, this would be probably rank as my first choice; it is sufficiently different from your basic Chinese restaurant experience to demonstrate why someone would pay more for an ounce of tea than for a complete dinner for two PLUS tea at most eateries. Almost anyone would get (ie., taste) the point. (I steeped a small amount in a glass French press and made about a cup using hot but not boiling water.)

This is my favourite tea and I always look forward to having it. Make sure that you close your eyes and forget all thoughts before you breathe in the unique fruity sweet aroma, which is instantly relaxing. The taste is rich and fruity with a sweet aftertaste, that lingers for a long time, even after many infusions. Personally I drink this tea while I am studying in order to stay calm and because it is uplifting. Very special.

Extremely light and delicate green tea, with a lovely smooth, sweet, and subtle orchid taste and aroma. The nutty taste is less pronounced than a Long Jing but does give the tea some body and mouth-feel. The most wonderful characteristic of this tea is the complete absence of harshness, bitterness, or astringency. It is not excessively grassy or vegetal either. The leaves are beautiful. If you are seeking a smooth, delicate, and light green tea, this is a great choice. Excellent product!

For the price, this tea is amazing. I reminds me of the Imperial Da Hong Pao that Ive tried before. Of course, its not as good as an imperial Da Hong Pao, but its still a very good Da Hong Pao. I will definitely buy this again!

This tea was excellent, and the customer service was excellent, as always. I highly recommend it.

I agree with the others who say this tea is balanced. that is the perfect word for it. It has all the qualities I expect of a green. I am not exact in my brewing technique, but my temp choice and brewing times fit this tea perfectly.

One of the best Oolong I have tried. My second order in on the way.

The Sichuan Gongfu is excellent, one of the best Black Teas I have come across. A compelling taste, not too much tannin, not too little, just right. Well balanced and mouthwatering taste. It is definitely on the order again list.

Wow and again wow! I did not expect this. The first time I tried FenHuang. What a beautiful aroma and flavor and so much more surprising since the dry leaves give no indication what is hidden inside unlike Mi Lan where when opening the tea container one can smell the tea. And more yet, I got a good 10+ infusions, had to split it over 2 days since alone I can drink only so much.

A very pleasant rock tea, with overtones of white tea. The leaves were darker than I expected, and the brew nice but perhaps not original enough in flavor to fully justify the high price.

Very good tea for the price. After 3+ infusions, it still tastes excellent. Peachy taste, will definitely try more Dan Cong in the future.

May enjoyment drinking this tea never fails. Aroma and flavor are just captivating.

A great tea. It has a full clear taste. My favorite black tea.

My order had great leaf quality and did not taste dusty at all. A nice, quiet tea as one other reviewer said. Tasty and recommended.

Full of the wonderful fragrance from Osmanthus. Have bought many from other retailers in the past but most of them do not come with the flowers with the tealeaves. ChineseTeaArt does !! Excellent.

cha wang tai ping hou kui is much much better.

Good tea. I tend to like the heavily roasted stuff. Does not have quite as much flavor as I hoped, but is very pleasant. If you are willing to pay about 25% more than this for a Wuyi, you can find some that will change your life.

The tea has nice flavor and it does not upset your stomach or sleep at night. Perfect for after dinner drink.

an above average KM, typical flavors of wheat and malt. although this gets astringents when over steeped so keep the brewing to <2mins with boiling water. a nice sweet floral KM when brewed perfectly.

Lovely aroma of jasmine slightly tinged with a vanillic sweetness. This, combined with quality green tea, results in a very decadent brew. My grandma loves this!

Great green tea, would be nice if it came in larger quanities. Made the mistake of taking it to work, now all my co-workers want me to share.
