Flavor exactly as advertised

An exceptional Oolong tea, very reasonably priced. I am very impressed with the quality. Flavor carries well through multiple steepings. The Samovar Monkey Picked Iron Goddess rivals much more expensive variaties of Oolong.

Very disappointed

The first time I had Iron Goddess of Mercy, it was farm fresh tea my brother had brought back from China. It had been sitting in my parents' pantry for two years before I discovered it there. It smelled and tasted like the high altitudes in which it was grown. Perhaps this is a hard act to follow, but I was very disappointed with Samovar's version. It almost seemed stale.

This tea is excellent! If you do not like the strong taste of some black teas, and you dislike the vegetal taste of green tea; this is the tea for you. I consider this a cross between a green and black tea. There is a mild taste of a traditional black tea with subtle hints of the grassy flavor in many green teas.
