Excellent teas ... very good value.
I've been drinking different kinds of tea for over 60 years, and I know a winner when I taste it. This tea has an excellent flavor that lasts through multiple applications of new hot water. It has a very pleasant and fresh "earthy" taste that I really enjoy. Shipping took several days, but not really all that long. Packed very well, and very fresh. I'll be ordering more soon! Tie Guan Yin is one of my favorite styles of tea, and this one doesn't disappoint in the least.Along with the Tie Guan Yin tea that I originally ordered, Oriarm sent me a sample packet of rolled tender tea leaves with Jasmine flowers. It is another great product, and I immediately ordered more. I seldom brew tea in a pot, so I like styles that have full leaves, rather than powdered and crumbled bits. I add the tea to a "drinking jar" of hot water. These leaves were obviously picked tender and new, so they have a subtle, but distinctly flavorful taste. The jasmine flavor is not overpowering, as in some others. Best of all, the leaves are so tender that I can't help but chew on a few of them as I drink it. If you have never tried that, give it a shot--but start with a tender-leaf tea like Oriarm's Jasmine.I've already placed three orders for tea with this vendor. He is sending me some small sample packs of other varieties, and I look forward to trying them. I tend to make the first glass (okay, jar) a bit strong, then I refresh the leaves with hot water over the next few hours. The flavor changes just a bit each time, but it's always excellent.Yes, it takes several days for your shipment to arrive, but Oriarm's packing is not only excellent and secure, it is almost artistic. The sealed bags with a clever type of ziplock assure freshness, and the foam case with padded wrapping protects the tea so that it arrives in tip-top condition.If you have read this far, you are probably interested enough in different types of tea to know that the very best available can be incredibly expensive. I say that to explain that this is not quite of the quality of teas that will cost you many times as much per (put your own unit of weight here) as these, but you would be very hard pressed to find teas of this quality for double, or even triple, the price. I'm sure that you will be more than satisfied with Oriarm's products.

Good Oolong
Classic curled leaves that expand out. Very floral fresh smell. Seems stored well. One of the very few I have got on amazon that reminds of the high end stuff I used to get from China via a friend. Great oolong esp for just 10 bucks.

Pleasant Tie Guan Yin
Very nice. I like Tie Guan Yin tea at work: a little caffeine to help me through the afternoon, and I can steep it 2-3 more times for flavor and hydration before my bike ride home. This one has a "greener" flavor on the first steep compared to another supplier's tea I enjoyed before. The second steep is a bit sweeter. Bonus: a Keurig produces water about the perfect temperature for this tea.

Great quality for a reasonable price
We had been offered a can of Tie Guan Yin Oolong tea from a Chinese friend and liked it a lot. So I started looking on Amazon to get more of the same type of tea once we had finished the original batch.I was very pleased to find Oriarm's Anxi Tie Guan Yin oolong last fall and ordered some immediately. It was a great choice, on par with the original tea we were offered. I ordered more of the same tea in April, but this new batch does quite match the previous one: its taste is much lighter, though still very pleasant. But it is a product from Nature, so I can imagine that there will be variations in the batches, depending on the specific conditions (weather especially) they grew in.Still, I'll be back for more and look forward to being pleasantly surprised from time to time with an exceptional harvest.

Makes hot water taste like hot water
I have tried my first bag of this from another seller/brand and was addicted to the flowery fragrance and taste. This brand didn’t even come close. There is almost no flavor or fragrance. The bag is also very hard to open and close. Waste of $22.

Full flavoured tea
Tie Quan Yin is one of my favourite teas and this brand is no exception. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that the tab used for opening the bag ripped more than it should and while the ziploc portion still works, the bag cannot be sealed. You may need to transfer the tea into a canister to keep it fresh.

Good Flavor & Aroma
5 stars of 5 — would likely purchase againI ended up really liking this brand of Oolong. As a Tie Guan Yin... it's okay, but then it's also relatively inexpensive compared to premium sources. As a light, aromatic oolong, it's great. It has a nice milky flavor, with just a hint of smoke and it's not bitter, in the way that more oxidized oolongs can be.

Better quality than teavana
The leaves are very slightly broken due to the rolling, but the flavor is on-point for a tie guan yin. Strong floral aroma of honeysuckle with a pleasant watercress undertone and a slight mineral finish. Can be steeped in the European fashion at a lower temperature for fewer cups with less tea.

Great tea
I just got the tea for only a few miniutes, but I can not help to tell my opinions, first all, I will say the foam package is super great well and neat, the person, who packed this must be very carefully with full of patiences, I will have to give a AAAAA+ for the job.When I opened the fine quality tea bag, I found the tea is very natural with the natural green color, it is super nice for sure, I smelled it once again and agian, then I could not help to cook the tea right away, yes, it tastes mild and with a little bit sweet, it is just WHAT I REALLY WANT, I have been looking for this kind of tea from Amzaon for long long time, and every time before of my orders were horrible, I was hurt lots and lots, so this time I still had to hesitated to order this tea for only one bag, I know the tea that I own right now is great, so I'm glad to order more bags right away, just in case, I could lose it, just like a beautiful, quiet and nice girl, if you are a little bit late, she could be another guy's wife,,,,,,lol.thank you very mucha CHINESE tea lover in overseas

Tastes fresh and great!
I am a big fan of Tie Guan Yin. This tea tastes fresh and great. The only issue is the shipping takes a while.

It has a bad after taste
We love Tie Guan Yin & often purchase it. However, the quality of this particular tea was quite a disappointment.
