Received this tea again for Christmas; my family knows just what I like! I like that this tea isn’t just tea, it’s tea with a smooth bite at the end. It’s not the tannic bitter of tea steeped too long, but the minerals. This tea is still just as good as before, but I do have to say it’s better warm than cool. I’m regretting letting this oolong sit too long.

First of the birthday teas! I’ve tried this before, and it’s quite delicious. The leaves smell very mineral-like, and so does the tea. The steeped tea doesn’t have much of a smell. I loved learning about this type of tea, how it tastes so different because of the uptake of minerals into the plant from the earth in the Wuyi Mountain Region. This is my first foray into more traditional non-flavored oolongs, and I love it. It’s satisfying in a way that some other teas are not.

I tried this tea this evening as a dessert tea. I added a bit too much half&half and two cubes of sugar, which made this tea creamy and sweet. The coconut is light and not sweet, but it was overpowered by the half&half, so next time I’ll use less. The chai flavor is prominent but not very complex, which makes this a great break from regular bagged chai teas. I love that this is a rooibos/black tea blend.

Drank the last of this tea yesterday. Still smells like a sweet, sweet treat and tastes almost the same. I really liked this tea because it smells like a treat, but tastes like a full bodied black tea. Great for pick me ups in the morning.

drank Green Tea With Peach by Bigelow

I had this tea after breakfast this morning. I found the peach taste in the tea almost completely masks any taste of green tea. The peach is fairly strong but not fake tasting or super sweet. The second sip is where I tasted some very light green tea taste. This would be a great way to interest someone in green tea.

drank Long Island Cola by Island Rose

This fruit tea is a little odd. Not bad, but weird. For one, it’s strange tasting “cola” in a warm tea, and that’s a little off-putting. I steeped a little too long, so the hibiscus is pretty powerful. I don’t think I would ever have this again by choice, but I wouldn’t refuse to drink it if offered.

Preparation
Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 8 OZ / 236 ML
