I wish Mountain Tea did samples (I think I would have purchased a sample of each and every one of their oolongs if they had). But even going in blind, jade oolong seemed like a safe bet. Every jade oolong I ever had has been delicious, and this one is no exception. Mountain Tea’s version has a lot of nuance: the honeysuckle note is strongest, but there’s also a hint of butter and a very slight tang. I don’t know that I would have thought of honeydew if I hadn’t seen it in the notes, but I can see how that tang could read as honeydew. Overall, a delightful tea.

I really haven’t had anything bad from Mountain Tea.
That’s good to hear :) Any in particular you’d recommend?
Well, you’ve reviewed my favorite – the Black Pearl. :) And I’m not sure but if this is the same as Honey Jade Oolong, then you’ve had both of my favorites!
Actually the Honey Jade is different — I almost grabbed that one, but my budget kicked in and I decided to save it for my NEXT order. Glad to hear it’s good though. And yes, Black Pearl is irresistible. I had another cup today, and despite getting distracted and way oversteeping it on the second round, it was great. I’m always grateful for a tea that can withstand a bit of negligence.
