Not for me. The tea quality itself is nice, with beautiful unbroken tea leaves. But based on the description of honey and peach notes, I was expecting something similar to a typical heavily-oxidized oolong like Brandy Oolong, but the bug-bitten flavor is quite different. It's quite a specific flavor that eludes description, but I'd say it's almost "perfumey". Not like the fresh, juicy stone fruit flavor of an ordinary oxidized oolong or black tea. It's probably an acquired taste for some.
I love this variety of tea and have tried it from many different sources. Others can speak to the flavor profile but its exactly what you expect from a formosa/oriental beauty. I think the quality for the price is excellent for this tea. would definitely recommend.
Wow, what a wonderful tea! I have been drinking tea most of my adult life and this is the best Oolong tea I have ever tasted. I steep the tea 195F for 6 minutes and it is very tasty and no acidity. Highly recommend.

When I got the tea I knew nothing of Taiwanese teas and a few seconds after the hot water opened the teas my entire room became engulfed with a fruity and floral aroma. I couldn’t wait to taste it and even burning my tongue I could taste the sweetness, the peach, the flowers. This is heaven in a cup and I certainly will be buying more.

I drink this tea daily and enjoy the taste of it. I am now ordering more. You won't regret ordering this.
Just as described. I like the roasted oolongs but I'm not much of a black tea person. But drinking this feels like a really high quality black tea to me. I feel fancy drinking it! I've gotten multiple steeps out of it. And my sister who doesn't even like black tea always asks for a cup of this.
Very nice oolong tea. It has a robust flavor without being too bitter or bland. However, I did not really feel the hints of peach, which was disappointing. In spite of that, it's a nice blend to enjoy, especially during fall when you want something smooth and comforting.
