Product Description
Vintage Wuyi Oolong is from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian, where mists, clouds and unique soil conditions produce teas of exceptional character. Hand plucked leaves are carefully sorted, allowed to oxidize partially, and skillfully fired to make this golden, amber-color brew. Wuyi Oolong has a bold, long-lasting flavor and an inviting aroma. Each tea's distinctive character is produced by a unique combination of climate, altitudes, and soil conditions. Wuyi oolong will make a smooth, rounded cup with a slightly toasty fragrance and long lingered sweetness.

 Lucky Eight Vintage Oolong tea! January 3, 2007

This is a very good stronger oolong tea, which is especially good for those who love iced tea, who are used to black tea and don't like the pungent grassy taste of green tea. The tea is amber color, with a very nice taste and delicious sweet aftertaste. When you prepare it right, you won't get the bitterness, ususally associated with black tea.
Oolong tea is widely drunk in Fujian China, and Japan. And it becomes more and more popular all around the China. Oolong has so many different other names: Wu-Lung, Wu-long. It is really the same thing, just different pronunciation from different parts of China (Mandarin, Taiwanese, or Cantonese). The premium oolong can be extremely expensive, most for its fragrance, color, sweetness (where to grow or when to pick). It can cost over $200 for just 1 oz (you won't see them out of China though). But if you are really for its healthy benefit, this is an excellent tea.
I usually prepare two cups per tea bags. Here is how I prepare in office (use hot water from hot water in water machine):
First cup: steep the tea bag with in first cup for 2-3 min and save the tea bag (pull it out of water or take it out).
Second cup: you may steep the tea bag as long as you wish. The bitterness is completely gone from the second cup, only the sweetness lingered, with a hint like the sweetness licorie.
For iced oolong tea: I just prepare one cup of oolong tea with 5-7 min steeping time and add ice cube.
I usually use this oolong tea bags in office, so you don't make mess, at home, I have been drinking Wuyi Oolong (Wu Long) Tea loose tea(B000A2KJ7M). Just simply add 1 pinch into cup and add boiling water, or prepare it with a tea pot for the whole family. It is excellent every cup!
I have been drinking oolong tea at least 4-6 cups per day during the past holiday season, with meal or anytime I want to eat snack... To my delight, the pant size is drop one whole size!
The package is a beautiful blue box with a legend story about tea on the back of the package..
A Wonderful Natural Tea that has been Ignored Too Long May 4, 2008

I recently bought this box of Oolong tea a few weeks ago. Generally I drink it at least twice a day. Most of the time at room temperature. It is an excellent tea with a very nice and smooth flavor. Although it is free of caffeine I have found myself feeling more awake after drinking it. At the same time I feel more energy I also feel as though I am able to think clearer. It may not be a wonder tea that some people claim but it can do more for mind, body, and spirit than most vitamin pills claim to do.

The Taste of this tea is very nice. Not grassy like other Teas and has a nutty taste in the background. I enjoy the taste. I drink mostly Green Tea and added this Oolong tea to have more options. I haven't been drinking it long enough to know if it helps with weight loss, but it is very tasty. According to research has antioxident values and that is a great benefit added to a great tasting Tea. ENJOY!!!
Fine Ooolong (Wu Long) Tea March 15, 2007

Sometimes I feel like I've been on a diet forever. Of course, I haven't been -- I've been on and off one or another, then back again.
I don't believe any tea is a wonder cure for everything, but I find tea helpful in managing my appetite, my stress levels, and outlook on life. I drink this Oolong tea, really enjoy it, and suspect it helps me feel less hungry in the midafternoon.
I've heard it's rich in anti-oxidants, and promotes the burning of fat. It may well be. I've lost bodyfat and weight -- but, again, I believe the result are due to a combination of factors that includes regular exercise, counting calories, and taking time to for a deep breath and a warm cuppa.

I was highly skeptical of the reports that said that Oolong tea helps with weight loss, but now I'm a believer. Eating healthier and eating less was helping me, but once I started drinking a cup or two of this tea each day I did notice that the weight loss was a little faster. I love this tea.
