5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth, sweet and rich, March 29, 2008

This review is from: Twinings China Oolong Tea, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I had the opportunity to go tea tasting (similar to wine tasting) and try many different varieties of tea and discovered Oolong to be my absolute favorite tea. I tried Twining's Oolong slightly skeptical since it is not loose tea. As it turns out this was a wonderful tea. I buy several boxes at once so I can enjoy at work, home etc.

The flavor and texture are velvet smooth, slightly sweet (even without sugar) and rich. It is definitely not a thin or watery tea like many other teas can be. This tea creates a sense of peace for me as I drink it. I especially love to drink this tea on my deck looking out over my wooded back yard.

1.0 out of 5 stars Twinings Chinese Oolong Tea - hmm..., December 16, 2008

I thought I'd give Twinings Chinese Oolong Tea a try based on other reviewers feedback here on Amazon. I did not enjoy the flavor of this tea and maybe it's due to my like of simple/common oolong teas versus the fancy-grades which seem too complex for me. The description on the box labels it as a "sweet and delicate tea with reddish colour"... but personally, I have to disagree with that description. It was more of a perfumed sweetness with a hint of bitter aftertaste, not delicate at all. Everyone has different tastes and most likely I'm the odd one in the bunch. I prefer a loose-leaf oolong tea and still trying to find my favorite. For oolong in a tea bag, my current choices are Bigelow Chinese Oolong and Foojoy Wuyi Oolong Tea.

I recommend this tea to anyone who loves tea. It has a mild flavor and is satisfying compared to other Oolong teas I have tried that had a slightly bitter taste.
