nice TGY at a nice price

The taste and level of oxidation was about what I was looking for, but for some reason, this one falls short of my expectations. The tea inexplicably seems to make my stomach hurt every time I brew it (in a way that other teas, even oolongs of the same or lower level of oxidation, don't). The other reviewers seem to like this one, so maybe I'm just crazy.

The wet leaves are maybe a little choppy and incomplete, though it's possible that the grower doesn't use pesticides and the leaves are just bitten a lot.

Overall, I've had better and had worse. To be fair, most of the ones which are better (in my opinion) are also more expensive.

I'm kind of torn between giving it a 2.5 or a 3, but I'm going to go with 3.

Excellent Tieguanyin. Aroma of fruit and roasted grain. Similar taste. The liquor is "thick and smooth," like the description says. The aftertaste stays with you for quite awhile. I didn't detect any floral notes like the description mentioned, but I think it's perfect the way it is. Thanks for the great tea!

This is truley the best tieguanyin I have ever had. Not only does the flavor slide down your throat it jumps fron your mug to your lips and spreads this nice complexed layering taste over your mouth and just stays and stays.I got to get more of this, cause my bags almost empty!
