This tea is very pretty to look at with the flowers in with the oolong. There seems to be a lot more flowers than actually tea, but after steeping the leaves expand and make up for it. This is a very citrusy, floral oolong. I can barely even taste the oolong in the first steep, but it’s still alright regardless. Even with the vast amount of flowers in the tea the flavor is not nearly as strong as an actual Jasmine tea, the citrus mellows it out. While this is a nice tea and I am enjoying it, I would prefer more oolong flavor. It’s more of a flavor tisane with some oolong added, not an oolong with added flavor, I hope that makes sense.

Bio

I’m an avid tea drinker, it’s what I drink all day and why I’m here. I don’t sweeten my teas except for the occasional iced tea or cold-brewed tea. I typically brew my teas with a brew basket in a 12 oz cup. If I brew another way I will always note it.

Dislikes: black teas, milk flavored oolongs, hibiscus, red rooibos, licorice, dessert teas, mate, guayusa.

Loves: straight teas, especially Chinese green teas, sencha, jasmine, dan congs, mint, coconut.

My ratings are based mostly on the smiley faces. If a tea is of good quality but not to my taste preference I try not to rate it because I think that is unfair.

I drink a lot of the same teas and will not record every time I drink them. I log them the first time I try them and then again if I did something different and/or got different results.

I also try to keep my cupboard updated to what I actually have for those that wish to swap, although some of them are merely samples.
