Dr. Harshit Bavishi Location: India Would you recommend this product? No | 1 out of 5 | Blech! The second oolong I have ever had in my life and I shudder to think what other Indian tea estates are passing off as Darjeeling 'Oolong'! I brewed this the standard English way (as recommended on this page). I tried with boiling water, water at green tea temperatures, water at oolong temperatures. I even tried brewing this Gongfu style. Nothing could coax out any significant flavour nor aroma from this tea. In fact, the [almost toxic] bitterness in the aroma and the taste was unlike the bitterness in any tea I have had before. Even if you take into account that I have only had one other Oolong tea before, this tea certainly deserves no benefits of the doubt. I hear that green teas are more of an acquired taste, but oolongs tend to be more like 'love at first sight'. Having acqired the taste of green tea quite easily, I don't think I need to try any harder to acquire a taste for this tea because it clearly is aweful. The only other oolong I have had was a Formosa Oolong and it was AMAZING! I could instantly see why connoiseurs prize Oolongs above all other types of tea. I dare say that I would not even class this sample of COMPOST as a Tea, much less an Oolong. I certainly would not even recommend this cousin of Hemlock to any enemy of mine. Sadly, there are no negative stars to rate this so I will only assign a single star to this. | |
