 Best ever Oolong tea Feb 15, 2007
By GW
"Woodbear"
First tried this tea from a specialty store in Buffalo, NY where it sold for close to $60/lb. Love it, even though it was only 2 oz. Search the net for this tea and found it Amazon.
It's a light delicate flavorful tea that can be brewed 2 to 3 times by refreshing it with more hot water. It is non-acidic like some other teas. It need no addition of cream or sweetner. I'm currently drinking 5 to 6 cups per day as it is so delicious and light. It's not exactly a green tea when brewed but a light amber color, with the hint of a flora or fruity taste. The added plus at Amazon is the price and very quick shipping.
I would strongly recommend getting this tea for any tea lover and I'm sure they would be pleased if they enjoy a good quality chinese tea.

My favorite tea Feb 09, 2007
By Boyd Waters
I got into various oolong teas from a great New York importer. They really know their teas!
But this year, the Numi Ti Kuan Yin is available at quality and price that bests the experienced importer. I dunno, maybe they got lucky at an auction or somthing. But we've been enjoying this tea!
You can spend 3 times as much and get better tea. But then it's too expensive to drink every day. Buy this!

 Sorry to Buck the Trend... But I Didn't Like This Tea Feb 27, 2011
By C. Frieder
"LuckyChucky"
I've drunk a lot of tea in my time - every day for years and years - so I guess that qualifies me as something of a lay expert, loosely defined :o) I was excited about this tea because it's organic and offered at a decent price (because good tea can be pricey indeed). Well... the first cup brews up kinda foul and with lots of tannin, really bitter (and not the good kind of bitter either). Thus it's an absolute necessity for me to do a first steeping, strain it out and steep again to get a passably drinkable cup. This is not uncommon for some teas, but the cup you get is still pretty foul, truth be told: still real tannic and just not a happy quaff. The leaves are relatively crude and large. This is not one of those tippy-leaved harvests where they grab just the tiny bud; this tea was picked for volume production. For an Oolong it seems to have been barely fermented. I find it just a crude tea. Crude and rude. Figured for the price it'd be a good everyday drinking teas and didn't expect a religious experience in every cup or anything, but it just doesn't even rise to that basic standard. I would have given it only 2 stars, but for the price and the fact that it's organically grown. Your mileage may vary I guess, but that's this tea-head's humble opinion for what it's worth.

Excellent oolong tea from Numi. May 06, 2008
By Farnoosh Brock
I have been drinking Iron Goddess of Mercy for years. Perhaps I can't get over how cool a name this tea has :)! However, I only would try Rishi brand and in a bind, I ended up buying Numi, and I love it. There is a slight difference in aroma and after taste between the 2 brands, and while I really still love Rishi, I love this one almost just as much and with some raw honey, it is a delicious drink to keep you going all day !!!
