FullChea - Gaoshan Oolong - Formosa Oolong Tea Loose Leaf - Taiwan High Mountain Tea - Health Tea 5.29oz / 150g

Loose leaf teas are sold in 150 gram bags in Taiwan. Therefore I believe it is a real product of Taiwan. The price is a bargain in Taiwan. But the flavor and taste are of very decent quality. I travel to Taiwan once a year and always bring back enough supplies of high quality Taiwanese teas, including some very expensive types. However due to the pandemic I have exhausted my supplies because I cut down all my travels. I am glad to have a decent alternative without traveling to Taiwan. The best way to brew Taiwanese Oolong is about 60 seconds for the first and second brew, and 10-15 seconds are added for each successive brew up to the fourth brew. The first brew needs longer time because the tea leaves are dry. For the second brew the tea leaves are wet but weaker after the first brew. After the fourth brew it is just tea flavored water for me.

Love the taste. Great product

This is a cheap tea that I wouldn’t serve to guests or give as a gift, but it tastes good enough to drink every day with my family. The leaves unfurl quickly and it lacks the complex floral flavor of other Taiwanese oolongs, but that’s fine by me. I would repurchase it as long as the price remained reasonable.

I would say this fits the price point perfectly. The leaves are definitely lower grade, but it's absolutely better than the bottom-of-the-barrel stuff you get in teabags from the grocery store. The same can be said about the taste and aroma. If you just need a cheap daily drinker oolong, this is good. Just don't go in expecting some nonpareil dayuling quality.

So i tasted the tea (btw, using 212F to flash it once and then use the leftover boiled water to pour in accordingly). The aroma is ok but the flavor is quite good. I was a bit suspicious when I initially open up the pouch since it came with a made in china anti humidity packet (though the outside label indicated it's from Taiwan in which the reason I bought it) but after I tasted it, it's a fine tea. I will buy this again once I ran out of it.

I suppose I should have expected this for the price but there are too many stems. The description says it’s because this is hand picked but I’ve had other hand picked brands that had far fewer to little stems. Often stems are a sign of machine picking rather than handpicking but maybe they just don’t care as much regarding the presence of stems. I’m overall very satisfied with the taste quality but I’m paying for stems so I’ll look for other sellers/brands once I’m done with this batch.

I love Oolong from Taiwan and this one is tasteless, extremely dry and not flavors at all. I think that it is either a really old tea or a really low quality one. Please don't buy it, I feel disappointed.

I lived in Taiwan for 3 months and became a bit of a green tea snob as a result. Taiwanese Oolong tea is the gold standard for Oolong. I was a little worried when the outer wrapping said "made in China", but didn't mention Republic of China. But once I saw the inner package said "made in Taiwan", I was a bit relieved. Upon brewing, indeed it was the real deal. If you've never had Taiwanese tea, you'll be blown away by how much more pleasant it tastes compared to Fujian tea. It has a slightly sweet, floral and smooth taste. I'm excited to have found this tea and hope they don't raise it's price in the future. Enjoy!
