The flavors were simply not strong enough for my taste and the tea didn't have the body I would expect for black varieties. I hope to see more offerings in the future that offer more robust flavor profiles. It's a great project and I wish them success.
Thank you so much for giving the Zealong Collection Sampler a try and for taking the time to share your feedback—we truly appreciate it!
I wanted to share that the sachets in the White Collection Sampler each contain 2 grams of tea (compared to the 2.5 grams found in our regular-sized sachets), so they’re designed as an introduction—a way to sample the different teas in a single-cup format, though they can sometimes come across as light if brewed in a larger mug.
Also, because Zealong is deeply committed to purity, they use no flavor granules, essential oils, or artificial additives in any of their teas—just high-quality, certified organic tea leaves and botanicals. This clean and natural approach does mean the flavor profile is often softer and more delicate than what’s experienced in more heavily flavored blends.
I’m so sorry to hear the tea didn’t quite meet your expectations. We truly appreciate you giving us a try and for your kind encouragement and well wishes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—we’re always happy to help.
I have purchased several of the green and black teas and have been pleased with all of them. They have answered many of my questions and I have been pleased with my customer experience. And to add there is always a special note written with each order. I highly recommend these teas.
Thank you so much, Jane! I'm thrilled to hear that you’ve enjoyed both our green and black teas—and that your experience with us has been a positive one. It truly means a lot to know that the care we put into each order, including those handwritten notes, is felt on your end.
Your kind words and recommendation made my day! I'm so grateful to have you as part of the Taria Tea community and can’t wait to send you more of your favorites soon.
A sample tea bag was provided with my recent purchase. While the tea was good, the floral notes and the hint of citrus after taste is not something I prefer. I'll try just about any teat once, and if you enjoy a bit of floral to your tea, I would say give it try and draw your own conclusion.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the Aromatic Oolong, and for taking the time to explore the different teas in Zealong's Origins Oolong Collection! I completely understand that floral and citrus notes aren't for everyone, but I'm still so glad you gave it a try.
I'm truly grateful for your thoughtful reviews of all three oolongs—it’s been a joy reading your thoughts.
Very good Oolong tea. Very smooth and combined with its organic nature, it and has enjoyable smokey and toasted after taste that a good oolong should provide. I would recommend this tea and would definitely purchase again.
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review of the Dark Oolong! It’s wonderful to hear that you found it smooth, with just the right toasted and smoky notes that define a great roasted oolong. We especially appreciate your recognition of the tea’s certified organic nature—Zealong's committment to organic farming and clean processing/packaging are at the heart of everything Zealong does, and it means so much when that’s noticed and valued.
It’s been such a pleasure reading your reviews of the full oolong lineup. Thank you again for your thoughtful reflections and for being part of the Taria community!
Oolong tea, for me evokes a certain smokey flavor expectation. This un-roasted tea variety leans more towards a green tea. I got a grassy aroma and a bit of a vegetable flavor and a lingering hint of floral taste from this tea. I did enjoy it as and alternative to some of the green teas I regularly drink. I would recommend it as an occasional change things up cup of tea. I would purchase again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful reviews on all three of Zealong’s oolongs!
You’ve captured the unique character of the Pure Oolong beautifully—its fresh, floral, and slightly grassy profile is quite distinct from the roasted styles, and I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it as a change of pace from your usual green teas. We love hearing how each of the oolongs offers a different tasting experience, and your feedback is such a wonderful reflection of that range.
Thanks again for giving Zealong a try and for sharing your honest impressions—we’re grateful to have you as part of the Taria community!
