Ha! Its been a long time since I was so profoundly moved by a tea. I’m glad its happening to you!

It’s ridiculously good! The only flavored tea I’ve ever really liked

Drinking this makes me wonder why I’d ever drink other flavoured teas. They all fail in comparison. XD

@Rosehips, I haven’t felt this way about tea in a long time either. Here’s hoping you also stumble on a swoon-worthy tea again, sooner than later!

Garret

Yay! There’s a reason it is one of our top sellers. I am truly happy that you are enjoying it. Thank you.

Grateful,
Garret

One more thing: Did I happen to send a sample of the Jin Xuan oolong with your order? I’d be curious what you think of the comparison betweent the scented one (as reviewed above) and the unscented one (Jin Xuan).

CrowKettle

You did not, but I did receive two new pu’er samples from you, both of which I’ve greatly enjoyed! I’ll add it to the ever-growing shopping list for next time though. :)

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

Subjective Rating System 3.0:

90-100: My absolute favourite tea. I’ll impulsively buy in large quantities and hoard like a dragon.

85-89: A favourite tea. I’ll try to keep this one around when it’s practical.

76-84: A good tea, but not one I’m likely to order again.

70-75: Alright, but I may have a few problems with quality, consistency, ingredient chemistry and/or personal preferences.

50-69: Average to mediocre cup.

11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea. I don’t give a lot of these ratings out, since I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me.

1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, the unholy abomination that is a chimera. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
