After drinking this tea several times from whole leaves, I admit I made a mistake in purchasing it as tea bags...even if the product comes in individual packed tea bags and under the Bigelow brand. The Wulong/Oolong whole leaf tea is an aromatic, delightful tea - golden in colour and has a wonderful taste that does not require sweetening. The tea bags are nothing like it. It smells like regular tea (like a Lipton, or any other generic), the colour is dark and the flavor nothing special; even after sweetening with honey or sugar it does not improve.
If you want to experience the delight of drinking Oolong tea, do not get it like this. Get it as whole leaves.
I will continue drinking this (120 bags @ $16) but I won't enjoy it but winter is coming, I'll have reason to drink tea...or find someone who likes this and give it to them. |

However, he really enjoys oolong tea and he only buys this brand. The tea bags never come damaged. The tea has a nice balanced flavor to it and when you think of the amount of tea you get for the price, it's a fabulous deal. |

it's not the best i've had in the oolong department, but it's cheap, you can find it easy, and it beats some of the higher end oolongs that sell for quadruple the price!
only thing is they don't make it in an organic variety, that is lame and the only reason it lost a star. |

It never occurred to me that Amazon.com might be able to supply me with it until a friend suggested I check with them.
It was one of the best moves I've ever made. I finally have an endless supply of top-grade Oolong tea; it looks like I'm going to be an Amazon.com customer for life. |

I drink a cup hot each morning. I am supposed to be using decaf tea, so I mix 2 of these tea bags with 2 Luzianne gal. size decaf bags to make iced tea. Boy is it good! I will definitely be ordering again if I still can't find it locally. |

Bigelow seems to be the best Oolong in bag tea. There are stronger kinds in loose tea but they are inconvenient. |

Thomas | 4 | 5 | 5 | 1285977600 | Energy Throughout the Day | I started buying Chinese Oolong Tea after reading that it increases the metabolism by 10% which is much higher than the green tea I had been drinking. I've read green tea only increases the metab by 4%. I'd have to drink almost 5 cups of green tea to get the benefits of drinking only 2 cups of Oolong. Green tea has been my good buddy since 1998 when my sister introduced me to it, but I have to say goodbye. Oolong tastes better than green tea as well (at least the Bigelow brand does anyway).
Being over 40 I was looking for something natural to increase my metabolism without downing extra caffeine. Although Oolong has caffeine in it, it doesn't have as much as coffee. Oolong doesn't give me heart palpitations like coffee does.
I start my morning off with this tea and it keeps me from taking a nap or becoming sleepy around 1 or 2 p.m. as I usually do. As a matter of fact, if I'm looking forward to relaxing and curling up for a good nap, I have to remember not to drink any oolong.
Bigelow is by far the best tasting Oolong I've had. I have an organic brand that I regret buying as it tastes horrible. I couldn't even finish one cup of that stuff. I'd give Oolong by Bigelow more than 5 stars if I could. I recommend it over coffee and for those of us who need more energy throughout the day. It is definitely more healthy than drinking these energy drinks as well.
I find Bigelow Oolong at my local grocer. I go through the stuff so fast, I don't want to wait for mail delivery. |

I think this is one of the best Oolong teas out there and I've tried many including ones that were several times the cost per ounce. Being in individually wrapped teabag form it is convenient to use and carry when traveling and brews to a wonderful rich flavor that never seems to get bitter no matter how long the bag sits in the water. It does seem to brew much darker than other oolongs but who cares it's the flavor that I love. |

Schowengerdt | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1337731200 | Bigelow - more flavorful than the other Oolong bag teas | I have tried numerous brands of packet Oolong tea, such as Twining, Choice Organic, etc. but each time I have been disappointed by the flavor. I recently realized that even though my grocery store doesn't carry Bigelow... well, the internet does! I was curious to see whether I was remembering the tea properly (if it was as good as I remembered), and I'm happy to report that yes, it IS better. This brand of Oolong is by far more the most flavorful of the ones I have tried, and it does not become bitter easily - you have to brew it a long time for that to happen. It's nice to drink something that actually tastes like tea, rather than hot water. :-) Anyway, feel free to try the others as well, but I think you'll find that this brand brews with a superior taste. |

NONE of my local stores - either grocery, drug or specialty - carry the Chinese Oolong. Many Chinese restaurants serve oolong so I also serve it in our home. |

The flavor is enhanced with a drizzle of honey. It is the perfect tea to serve with a meal or it stands alone as a morning or afternoon beverage. The price for a six boxes is well below what I pay in the local stores. |

Why it is not sold in stores any longer is beside me, as I used to purchase it easily. Now I have to resort to ordering it online through bigelow or here on Amazon. Its worth it though!! |

It makes a very delicious hot tea and especially a cold iced tea which is healthy to drink. For some reason this product is not sold in regular grocery stores. Only 1 health food store here in Boise sells it and quite often they are sold out of it. So I was very happy to find that Amazon carried this product and when I buy more than 1 case I do not have to pay any shipping costs and it will keep on the shelf for several months. SO I plan to purchase 3 cases at a time in the future. I recommend this to anyone who like Oolong tea. I have tried other brands but none are as good as Bigelow. I have always been very pleased with Bigelow Herb Teas. |

It tastes just like the Oolong teas that I've tried at Chinese restaurants over the years. I don't generally drink it by itself (I usually prefer black teas), but a cup of this definitely enhances the experience of eating Asian cuisine. |

I used two cups for each tea bag however I only let the first cup steep no more then 5 minutes, then leave the tea bag in the second cup. It reduces the strong flavoring.
I drink this tea and jog maybe twice a week and see results. With a more efficient work-out the tea would work better. I drink maybe 5 cups a day. |

Where have you been? | I have been looking for a good Oolong tea for a long time. The stores don't carry any. I ran across this one on Amazon and thought why not give it a try. Thank goodness I tried, because it is what I have been looking for, a real Oolong tea! Great taste! Like you get in a great chinese restaurant. It also comes in a nice well made package. You don't have to worry about a cheap bag busting in your cup. Give it a try! |
