This uncommon and revolutionary spice tea blend combines sweet pumpkin, cloves, ripe papaya and cardamom with a fragrant Oolong tea. Excellent iced to cool you in the Summer and terrific hot to warm you in the winter. Viva la Oolong Revolution!
How to Prepare
Use 1 teaspoon of tea per 8 ounces of water. Heat water to just before boiling (195 degrees) and steep for 3-4 minutes. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Oolong tea, pumpkin pieces, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, candied papaya, nutmeg and rose petals.
I normally hate the very idea of fruit in my tea. The idea just grosses me out. I’m glad I tried this before I worked out that it was full of fruit, because I would really have missed out if I’d skipped it.
This is sweet, and has a sweet-smoke kind of smell to it. Mind your steeping time, if you leave it too long it turns eye-wateringly bitter. Will stand up to a second steeping if you treat it right and don’t over-steep it the first time.
I like this with some honey and just a splash of heavy cream.
Interesting tea – I finally gave it a sip!
It’s very much like described – pumpkin, spice, and papaya. I didn’t find the fruit taste overwhelming and it was actually enjoyable and naturally sweet. There was a little missing from it though – maybe I’ll brew it longer next time or add more leaf.
I was on the fence about this tea. I am not a huge oolong drinker, but this one kind of grew on me. Poking around the teavana app, I found some blending suggestions. So I went and blended it with some of teavana’s Samurai Chai Mate (which I was also on the fence about). Alone, neither of these teas did it for me. But together…. it is the gestalt of teas. They blend so well together that I will probably never drink them apart again…
Have had this tea for a while – usually don’t enjoy flavored oolongs but this one is interesting. The pumpkin and papaya makes for a great addition to this oolong tea. However, I just had it iced for the first time, and I didn’t really care for it. Love it hot though.
This tea was a gift from a co-worker. I just knew the tea name, but not the tea company. I usually don’t like teas from Teavana because they smell great but often the taste doesn’t have such a strong flavor.
This tea smells sweet and fruity and the taste equals that! I can definitely tell it’s an oolong base, and I would agree that this is a “revolution” for usual oolong drinkers. It’s a great afternoon snack tea, though I don’t taste as much flavor complexity as others state. I taste the tropical fruits, but no pumpkin flavors.
Wow one of my favorite teas and I’ve never reviewed this? I lovingly refer to this as Pumpkin Spice and I’m deeply saddened it’s being discontinued! I love it because it has such a wonderful weird can’t-exactly-descibe taste. Definitely spicy but also.. maybe kinda creamy but I suppose that’s the pumpkin. I will miss you Sweet Oolong Revolution aka my Pumpkin Spice
