The perfect cup
- Measure 4g or 2tsp per cup (250ml)
- Heat water to 100°C
- Infuse tea for 3 minutes
- You can re-infuse this tea twice
- Great for a hot summer dayThis is a very light subtle tea. I believe ideal for a summer day where you still grave for a hot cup of tea. Its a refreshing tea with a lovely sweet smell and very subtle sweet natural taste.
I like it but in my opinion you can only brew it once i found it to weak for my taste the 2nd time around.

Hi Jade,
Thank you so much for your positive review regarding the Yellow Gold tea purchased. It's great to hear how much you enjoyed the flavour of this tea. JING always appreciate customers feedback regarding the brewing of the teas purchased, and I will forward this our team for future developments of the brand.
Warm regards,
JING Customer Service Team - Oolong Yellow Gold TeaI drink this tea more than any other. And I drink a lot of tea. Clean, refreshing and delicious. It has a hint of fragrance but it’s a very delicate undertone to the crisp smooth overall taste.
- Smooth and satisfyingA smooth, enjoyable tea.
- Jing TeaYellow Gold is my favourite day time loose leaf tea. Great taste and a really refreshing brew. Peppermint bagged tea is my wife's favourite. Finally the bagged Earl Grey tea is my go to tea in the morning. Jing has the greatest collection of teas and a first class service.
- Love at first tasteI can't really compare Yellow Gold to any other oolong tea as it was the first time I've tried such a product. All I can say is that Yellow Gold was a great introduction. It wasn't overpoweringly fragrant, and it was smooth going down. Each sip left me feeling hydrated and satisfied. I would definitely be buying this again
- Golden drinkLovely flavour and colour.
- Good intro oolongA very drinkable oolong. Very clean, not that dissimilar to some green teas. Not as complex/ rich or as interesting a tea as my favourite oolongs, like the Pheonix Honey Orchid.
- smooth and satisfyingvery nice smooth flavour. more full bodied than tie guan yin with quite a lot going on as far as flavours, yes i got rasberries as one reviewer wrote, but i think the citrus flavour was the most prominent
- Delicate sweet fruits and cucumberWow! I've just received my first sample of this and I'm so impressed. The fragrance of the dried leaves was of orchids, even stronger when they first touched moisture in my freshly washed small glass jug. I did a 30 sec wash and then a first infusion of 3 minutes. My first sips of this were very rewarding. I had to close my eyes and think about the delicate flavours. I tasted water melon, raspberry and cucumber! A second infusion confirmed these tastes and was just as good. it's basically like eating summer fruits and cucumber whilst standing in an orchid house. I will certainly buy more of this.
- Very distinctive, deliciously fruity with lychee and kiwiWeve had about 300g now and Yellow Gold continues to be a family favourite; very accessible and easy drinking but with some depth as well.As the name suggests it is at the lighter/greener end of the scale for an oolong but still has considerable subtlety and complexity.To my novice pallet it comes across as a junior brother to the estimable Iron Buddha, which is undoubtedly an altogether more impressive tea but since yellow gold is less than half the price it's quite a bargain (this doesnt mean you can put the price up!)Likely to a be a regular order for some time to come.
