Lynn's review: "The tea was a light yellow in color and had a rich, toasty stone fruit fragrance. . . The aroma carried over well into the flavor: rich, smooth, toasty, with definite fruit notes. The finish had the same notes, and lingered well on the tongue. " Read review » |

Geoff's review: "I can see why this type of oolong lends well to a Gongfu-style approach. It colors and flavors quickly on splashdown, and each subsequent steep differs sharply from the last." Read review » |

Rebecca's review: "This beautifully fragrant oolong has a complex floral taste that's as pleasing as its aroma" Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "a chestnut sweetness with an underlying earthiness; easy on the palate and overall was very smooth and satisfying" Read review » |
7.8/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The vegetal flavor was present, but not too pungent. A sweeter roasted flavor was also there. The combined effect was a mild and mellow green tea that was very enjoyable. " Read review » |

|
Shaiha's review: "This oolong rolls over your tongue and leaves behind the tastes of pear and hazelnut. The aftertaste is lingering and is both drying and sweet. And it leaves you craving for more." Read review » |
8.3/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "The floral component, perhaps best described as leaning towards lilac, is the most readily available flavor. The flavor is smooth and light and well-suited for any time of day. " Read review » |
7.4/10 | |
|
Geoff's review: "Smell and taste were medium-bodied smokiness, but not overwhelmingly forest-fiery like some other roasted varieties." Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "A wonderfully complex tea. Perfect for quiet times." Read review » |

Lynn's review: "This is a very impressive green, and something a bit out of the ordinary, in my experience. Is it endorsement enough that I paused while writing this review to put in an order with Life in Teacup?" Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The aroma was - if anything else - quite fresh, like taking a whiff of a newly opened salad bar." Read review » |
8.6/10 | |
|
Sophie's review: "While it's somewhat vegetal, it's well balanced and not overly grassy: peach and pear notes mingle harmoniously amongst asparagus and roasted artichoke flavours." Read review » |
8.6/10 |
|
Vanessa's review: "The tea did deliver the flavors I seek out in a good Yunnan- caramel sweetness and maltiness. However, the lighter body was not that appealing to me. " Read review » |

Geoff's review: "The liquor magically infused to the color of its leafy namesake - a vibrant, fertile gold." Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "A really good example of a Yunnan. Highly recommended for Yunnan lovers." Read review » |

Katie's review: "This is a good, basic example of a high mountain oolong." Read review » |

Vanessa's review: "The flavor of this tea was mostly floral, but I did enjoy the light grainy component that was present in the background. " Read review » |

Jamie's review: "There's much to be said about making time to work through a series of many steeps and enjoy the many levels a tea leaf has to offer! " Read review » |

 |
Raven's review: "The roast combines the highlights of darker and lighter tie guan yins with its tasty medley of pretty florals and rustic vegetal flavours." Read review » |
7.3/10 |
 |
Laura's review: "The first thing that I noticed about the cup were some nice floral notes, but Dong Ding tends to be a bit more dimensional than just some fancy floral. It has just the right touch of roastedness to it---enough to add interest but not so much as to cross the line into super smokey." Read review » |
8/10 | |
|
Raven's review: "The combination of fire, floral and vegetal notes lend a hint of caramelized sweetness to the aroma that is ever so appetizing. The savoury taste is even more engaging followed by the light floral aftertaste of lilac and carnations, despite a short finish that I would have loved to linger longer." Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Sophie's review: "An engaging, complex and constantly evolving tea, it's well worth the price, especially given the number of infusions that can be had from the leaves. Something lovers of floral oolongs should investigate." Read review » |

Sophie's review: "Very sweet, with a savoury underpinning of bread and malt notes, this light but flavourful tea makes a great afternoon pick me up. " Read review » |

Katie's review: "It is a piquant tea, biting and fruity with a pleasant astringency." Read review » |

Katie's review: "A very good everyday dan cong, and it's extremely affordable." Read review » |

Shaiha's review: "Not much in the way of flavor or aroma. Not the tea for me." Read review » |
5/10 | |
|
Sophie's review: "Slightly drying without being bitter and intensely flavourful, this is clearly a good quality Dan Cong. It should please those who appreciate pouchongs: it's clearly got a roasted dimension to it's flavour profile while retaining a savoury quality that is closer to green teas." Read review » |
8.5/10 | |
|
Vanessa's review: "a honey sweetness, a pungent orchid flavor, and a baseline roasted flavor, as well as some other less well-defined flavors mingling about" Read review » |

Katie's review: "I really wanted to love it, rather than just liking it, but it wasn't meant to be." Read review » |
7.3/10 | |

Sophie's review: "This will please those who tend to like sweet, milky treats more than those looking for a true chocolaty taste." Read review » |
6.9/10 | |
|
Jamie's review: "This treat is, truly, a green chocolate. The delicate little square, revealed, has a beautiful 8 pointed star embossed into its surface and the color is a dark, tea-y green." Read review » |

Sophie's review: "Instead of being sweet and soothing, the floral notes are cloying and soapy. Stronger isn't always better." Read review » |
