Another impulse buy from Murchie’s Tea Room when I visited Victoria, BC this summer. I’m a sucker for flower scented teas and having tried (and loved) TeaAve’s magnolia oolong, I didn’t have to think too hard about this one. Turns out this is very similar to the TeaAve oolong. The magnolia flavor is lush and fragrant, complementing the base tea nicely. It’s accompanied by notes of gardenia and a touch of perfume. The scenting on this tea is just right. It’s not cloying or fake-tasting.
I steeped this in my tumbler and had no problems with oversteeping or bitterness even after it sat awhile. When cold steeped, it’s refreshing and has even more flowery sweetness. This is the rare flavored tea that merits a rating of 100 from me because it’s just that good.
Flavors: Flowers, Gardenias, Perfume

Did you go to the Buchart Garden’s at all? They are beautiful.
Lexie Aleah, really wanted to go there but we were only able to spend a day in Victoria. I did visit Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver though which is supposed to be a mini Butchart. Hope to go there next time, Victoria is a beautiful city!
