This oolong tea was grown in Fujian, China, and the fresh leaves are harvested, then immediately hand-rolled into a ball shape. The leaves are fired and then rolled again, and this process is repeated over 20 times until the tea is fully processed. Lastly, it is mixed with ginseng powder and dried. This tea has a rich, lingering sweetness in the cup.

I was looking forward to a quality oolong with a hint of ginseng, but this tea is overwhelmingly sweet. The ginseng powder seems to dominate the delicate oolong flavor. It's hard to distinguish the actual tea leaves through the strong sweetness, which wasn't what I was expecting.
The convenience of the sachets is great for my busy mornings. The tea has a very pronounced sweetness which is enjoyable, though sometimes I find it a touch stronger than I'd prefer for a regular brew. Overall, a good purchase.
The description of a 'rich, lingering sweetness' is spot on. I've tried many oolongs, and this one stands out for its unique flavor. It's robust yet incredibly smooth, making it a truly pleasant experience.
This tea offers a really pleasant, natural sweetness that lingers nicely. I enjoy it, but occasionally I wish the ginseng note was a tiny bit more pronounced. Still a great option for an everyday cup.
I bought these for my mom who loves oolong, and she absolutely raves about them. She says the sweetness is perfectly balanced and the quality is exceptional. It’s her new favorite tea.
