It has a lovely Assam aroma and a nice, dark color. The flavor is the typical round, full-bodied flavor of Assam, and just a bit dry (I think I will try four minutes steep time for the next cup). As expected, it goes very well with cream and sugar. This isn’t the best Assam I’ve had, but it does make for a decent cup.
Preparation
This is my go to tea for relaxation, for relaxation for friends, and for when I’m tired of all other herbals. The flavors are perfectly blended and alive. It’s a strong tea, though I should note that normally I can’t tolerate strong lavender, but here I welcome it.
I’m studying for my boards exam, which is tomorrow! I decided to brew this up! I realized I only had a tiny bit for one last brew. Finished it up!
This tea is fruity and has calmed down in scent in comparison to when I first opened it up. I love the flavor of this now. I like how it isn’t tart, but the fruitiness is strong.
I bumped this up in rating because I gave it another fair chance. The scent is still a little boozy but its not as bad as before. That might be due to the fact that I let it sit in my cupboard in the non-airtight bag that it came in. It tastes very good this time. It tastes like a mixture of tropical fruits, more like pineapples. I love the bits of yellow flowers and dried fruits. Good tea over all. I’m glad I gave it another chance. I’ve drank this several times after.
I bought this at Teaism because of the name. I love anything African. When I got home to transfer it from the sealed bag to a tin, I was scared of the smell. It was SO strong. It reminds me of a martini… or a cosmopolitan or anything vodka mixed with fruits. I was getting a gagging reflex thinking of those days. >_<
Anyhow, I decided to give it a try. * pinches nose * Dry, the leaves are the regular ruddy needle rooibos mixed with dried fruits and bits and something thats large, leafy and yellow (perhaps the yellow plum?). Steeped, the scent is not as strong, but is still somewhat aversive. The steep was a nice red-brown color. The taste was surprisingly wonderful! It was not tart at all, and there was a gentle sweetness to it. Great fruity blend without the tartness and mouth puckering. I need to try this iced! and possibly mix with vodka someday…
Overall, this blend tasted pretty good; however, the smell!!!! ohhh the smell!
Preparation
I increased my rating of this tea. I just ran out of it today. My boyfriend and I shared it. So yummy! Its so sweet, and I have this guilt about taking in too many sweet beverages and foods! Ah but I have a sweet tooth! I can’t resist. I made it into a latte. Absolutely DELICIOUS!! I’m going to get another one day! :)
The blend is a nice bright green that is very light and slightly powdery (more like white sugar). So very sweet is right. I added 3 heaping teaspoons to my mug and added a little hot water to mix it and then poured a lot of milk to fill it. Delicious and green. Great for dessert. Teaism instructions recommend cold water. I’ll have to try it cold some day.
Wow! This is a wonderful oolong. Very tight little balls that unfurl beautifully when steeping. I’ve used the gongfu method as well as the traditional and can’t really tell the difference in flavor. Using gongfu, however does allow you to steep this tea several more times than the ordinary method.
This oolong has similarities to a milk oolong I’ve tried. The creamy aroma and taste are very pleasant.
This is without question my favorite tea!
I steep this with just under boiling water. 2:45 or so for first steep, then add a minute to each subsequent steep. Tried as many as 4 steepings, but could probably do at least one more.
Preparation
I was in the mood for oolong tea, and Teaism had a great selection! They gave me a HUGE mug full of anxi oolong tea. It had been steeped already. It smells like oolong and tastes like oolong. Yum! It has a nice taste but I can’t seem to describe it. It isn’t floral. I couldn’t finish the mug though. It was too much. It was delicious with my meal. :)
