“This smells like orange juice! Super sweet citrus. I sniffed it once and knew drinking this straight would NOT go well — I love citrus in moderation, but this blend would have been too much for me!...” Read full tasting note
“Really like this one, I’m enjoying all of the samples from New Mexico! Great mouth feel to this and a nice clean orange taste. Will probably be buying this in a larger quantity.” Read full tasting note
The orange citrus taste combines spectacularly with the earthy oolong. A natural tasting brisk oolong thats great as an afternoon tea.

I haven’t had this one in a while, but thanks to my goal of drinking one non-black tea a day, I thought I’d give this a go.
It’s orangey, and floral, creamy, buttery, green. Sweet. Perfumed.
Not really my usual cup of tea, but definitely something I’m enjoying right now. :)
Thanks, CrowKettle. I have 1 tsp left. When will I drink it? Soon, I hope!
Note: my oolong is greener and more balled up than the picture depicted on the website.
Disclosure: The fluoride treatment I always end up with at the dentist’s is orange creamsicle, the near identical flavour of this tea. It’s throwing me off a tad. I am clearly biased here so I will try to do a quick summary breakdown of the basic characteristics.
The leaves smell of the orange rinds found along with the oolong balls. The aroma of the liquor is buttery, milky oolong notes with a backdrop of candied orange. The broth feels oily and rich. The main notes are buttery, vegetal oolong followed by tangy orange peel which mellows out for the fruity and creamy sweet finish. Floral, buttery qualities make up the aftertaste texture, while citrus sourness linger on the back of the tongue.
When I had my first cup of this I was ready to drop this tea for reminding me of fluoride but today I can respect the solid floral green oolong and the milky orange. I’m actually enjoying this cup; it isn’t coming off as artificial and chemical-like as I first experienced. It’s very much the candy creamsicle tea, however.
This smells like orange juice! Super sweet citrus. I sniffed it once and knew drinking this straight would NOT go well — I love citrus in moderation, but this blend would have been too much for me! I mixed it with some floral Tie Guan Yin and … sigh it was perfect.
The tea carried a nice fresh orange flavor into the vegetal qualities of the Tie Guan Yin. Almost candyish, but not quite! The aroma was subtly sweet and not overly cloying or artificial.
Lovely tea for me to mix into my other oolongs when I need a little bit of a pick-me-up, but certainly not for me to drink straight. I’m certain my citrus-loving friends would enjoy this one unaltered though!
