• Review: Peony Tea S Taiwan Golden Oolong

  
  Teaviews.com — Authority: 142
  This is a lightly-roasted spring tea from Nantou County, Taiwan. The leaves themselves aren’t beautiful – they’re a touch heavy with twigs – but they brew into the most amazing bright golden-yellow liquor. I steep 1g/ounce in 195° water in a porcelain gaiwan for 30 seconds. After admiring the gorgeous cup for ...

  I just love getting the chance to check out the oolongs that Canton Tea Co. offers. I haven’t been disappointed yet and they have such a nice variety. This particular oolong is a heavily roasted rock oolong made by master tea-maker Li Yongyuan. It was harvested back in the spring of 2011. The dry leaves do have a ...

  I recently placed an order with Canton. They were kind enough to include a few samples, including this pouchong. I’ve previously reviewed the 2010 version of these leaves. Grown in Taipei county, Taiwan, on a small family-run farm, this tea is described as a “very refreshing with smooth floral notes and a sweet ...

  The folks at Canton Tea generously sent me some samples along with my last order. This outstanding oolong was among them. The leaves were harvested by a small farm, high on the slopes of Taiwan’s Mount Ali Shan in the spring of 2012. The tea was then put through a medium roast and rolled into raisin-like pellets. ...

• Review: Canton Tea Co. Yellow Gold Oolong

  
  Teaviews.com — Authority: 142
  The Chinese name for this tea is, “Huang Jin Gui” which means “gold osmanthus” or “golden cinnamon flower.” I found that a rather poetic and descriptive name for these large,  balled leaves of deep green, swirled with neon yellow.  The dry leaf had very little aroma, but once I added the prescribed 185 ...

  This is my first Peony Tea S. tea, so my only impression of the company is from their website, and so far, I’m pretty excited. First off, they have a sample size of this leaf available, always a bonus for those who prefer to try a tea before committing or tea lovers who want to cram in as many new experiences as ...

• Review: Mountain Tea Medium Roast Tie Guan Yin

  
  Teaviews.com — Authority: 142
  I usually know when I’m going to really like a tea by the color of the dry leaf.  Anything on the green end of the spectrum, no matter how exclusive, gets little rise out of me.  But a leaf that is muddy brown or darker prepares me for one of my life’s greatest pleasures:   a cup of complex, robust, tea. This ...

• Grand Pouchong from Tavalon

  
  — Authority:
  Is Pouchong an oolong tea, or isn’t it? Some people describe it as “Chinese green tea” but in fact, it’s lightly fermented, at about 10 to 20%, and to me, that puts it squarely into oolong territory. Tavalon classifies it as an oolong, though some other tea companies don’t. But the final test is, does it ...

Mountain Tea seems to specialize in oolongs, distinguishing between green, dark and roasted offerings in their website’s listings. Taking a look at my sample, the tightly rolled leaves have a ...

• Review: Beautiful Taiwan Tea Company Asian Beauty

  
  Teaviews.com — Authority: 142
  This is a high mountain oolong that is described as being similar to a black tea in flavor. Since I personally prefer the darker tasting oolongs, I was looking forward to sampling this tea. The leaves are very voluminous, so I used a generous heaping teaspoon per cup of water and infused the leaves in sub-boiling ...

• Review: Canton Tea Co. Ali Shan Oolong

  
  Teaviews.com — Authority: 142
  Part of the fun of full-leaf tea is watching the leaves unfurl.  If I were giving out awards, Canton’s Ali Shan would get high marks for showmanship.  How those rough little balls the size of clove heads can transform into branches of leaves nearly as big as my hand is a wonder of hydration. More fun, though, ...
