 Smells and tastes like turpentine May 27, 2009
I've had this variety of tea from other sources, so I have an idea what it should taste like. When I opened the bag, my nose was assaulted by a strong smell of turpentine - I thought it was the packaging, so I moved it into a plastic storage tub. The brewed tea tasted equally of turpentine. I did find that if you leave the tea out in the air, the taste and smell dissipates, but keeping it for any length of time in a closed container causes the turpentine taste/smell to return. Even aerated, the tea has a very grassy taste to it.
Maybe I got a bad batch, but I will not buy a Numi tea again after this bad experience.

 A great tea that lasts a long time Mar 27, 2009
This Ti Kwuan Yin by Numi is a great oolong. It is quite powerful and little bit goes a long way, but what makes this tea unique is that you don't have to stop brewing the tea. Just leave the leafs in the pot and it will reach its full flavor and stay there by itself. Ti Kwaun Yin is unique in that aspect and is popular in China because of it. Another plus, and yet another reason for its popularity, is the fact that you can get multiple brewings off a small amount of the tea. I personally find that seven pots is the norm (sometimes more, sometimes less) before the flavor is gone from the tea leaves.
Multiple brewings, a little going a long way, a great price, and very tasty tea add up to one heck of a package. If you are sensitive to caffeine, be aware that oolong is right in between green and black teas in caffeine content and the first pot is usually very strong on flavor. It is so strong that some people even lighty coat the leaves in hot water until they expand and then pour off the water and add more to get rid of the powerful taste. In doing this, they also remove much of the caffeine, so that might be a handy trick for those wanting to cut down on their caffeine intake.
Highly reccomend this product. It will last you a very long time and prove to be your staple for tea.
High Quality, Excellent Flavor Nov 21, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and flavor of this tea. At a very modest $31.15 for a pound I wasn't expecting much, but this tea just might become my favorite. It has large leaves with almost no dust or stems. It's flavor is delightful - not robust, but not weak either, and none of the bitterness often found in cheap teas.

Hair inside Aug 18, 2008
I was looking into starting drinking loose tea and decided to go with Numi Tea Iron Goddess of Mercy.
For the first few times I made tea - I enjoyed it - good taste, no bitterness and big whole leafs.
The problem is that every few spoons I found a hair attached to one of the leafs. First I thought it might be mine, even though it didn't look like it. The second time I was puzzled. After the 3rd time - I poured a lot of it out on a plate and found LOTS of hairs! They are simply attached to the dried leaves.
I am a clean freak and keep all food in clean cabinets. Tea package was sealed all the time with a clip. This hair made it all the way from the factory - where it somehow got to it during the drying process - where the leaves shrink to little balls.
This tea ended up in the garbage and I'm back to tea bags.
