Thanks to my new friend Mike for this tea.
First off, it smelled amazing in the tea filter. Just a wonderful scent of orange & maybe even tangerine? Overall, there is no doubt there is citrus in this tea.
This is my second Oolong tea to try & I have to admit, I am loving oolongs! They are seriously proving to be well worth the money spent as you can get several brews from one little spoonful.
The tea smelled wonderful during the brew of the first cup. I’m at work & had to use a tea filter bag & a few people in the cafeteria this morning wanted to know who was ‘cooking an orange’.
The first cup was warm & inviting & promised a wonderful flavor…it truly delivered! The first cup was gone almost instantly. I had to refill the cup & I’m admitting it freely, I’m on cup #3 right now as this is getting typed! I’m almost sorry I’m being greedy in making so many cups, but I don’t care.
There is definitely a little pick me up for me with this tea. Citrus teas that smell really good when dry often do this for me. I swear I think oranges really do give off some kind of energy boost!
Mike, thank you for sharing this tea. You were right. It is simply delicious!
I adore the “lemon pledge meets cheerios…with floral undertones” description. You’re inspiring me to up the creativity of my descriptions! :D
