"I was not quite sure on rating this tea as excellent for overall value, because of the price. I'm sure now. The bottom line is that I have simply never had a better cup of tea. And, this comes from an individual who thinks that you could never find a tea better than a great Assam." David Feldman

"I got to know green oolongs from Taiwan on the basis of gifts brought back by friends who traveled there. These teas can feature a fabulous and exotic flavor note, sort of slightly metallic in a good way. This tea matches that wonderful flavor, but at a very high price."

"I love this tea. I usually drink it very weak with just 3-4 dried leaf pellets per cup. It is deliciously vegetal with smooth aromas of rich nearly floral green. It is superb at room temperature as well. Delicious." Alan Mark Silbergeld

"The best jade oolong I have tried, nearly as good as the tippy champagne (amber) oolong, with which I like to alternate this tea in order to keep each flavor from becoming routine." George Amis

"A truly superior tea, by far the best of its type I've ever had. Of course it's very expensive, but it produces many fine extractions-- four or five at least-- so it's actually a pretty good buy. I wish I could afford to buy it more often." Laurence Leabow

"Floral intensity without bite or pronounced vegetal character. Perhaps best brewed a little hotter than 180, but consumed almost room temp. Resteeps many times." H. Michael Simmons

"The pale liquor produced by a four-minute infusion has an ethereal taste and aroma. The infused leaf shows the excellent quality of the product. Too pricey for my everyday drinking, the tea is worthy of special occasions" Greg Abrams

"Wow! Alright...so this may be a really expensive oolong. One may be able to scout out a comparable tea for perhaps a little less. But this is high mountain sweet/smooth at its finest, in my opinion. I've tried quite a few, but nothing like this." Rev. David W Johnson

"Intense aroma, flavor starts very subtle and grows stronger as the tea cools--floral and spice, very complicated. It's expensive (and I hoard it), but I've never had anything quite like it.
