The tea it makes is pretty dark for a green tea, it tasted kinda grassy with a bit of astringent bitterness at the beginning. I’m not sure if the latter is because I steeped it too long (4 min) or if the water I used was too hot. This is another one I want to play around with before I can say if I like it or not, but as of right now I’m not really feeling the love.

The Lapsang Souchong mixed in gives it a hint of smokiness in its scent and taste but it’s not so overwhelming that the smoke is all you get. It tasted very smooth and it went very well with a bit of skim milk.

I tried it with boiling water this time instead of just steaming water and it brings out the ‘toasty’ notes in the tea’s description.

I couldn’t really taste any mango or passion fruit distinctly – mostly all I could taste was the safflower (which isn’t unpleasent mind you). I might just need to steep it longer so I’ll reserve judgement until then.

OMG I love it! The tea was wonderfully fragrant and the taste was just the right balance of flavours. It was hard to see the pearls ‘unfurl’ inside the sachet – this one might be better as a loose tea just for that reason.

The first oolong tea I’ve tasted, it’s from a nice tea-and-herb shop in the (very) small town of Creston, B.C. The tea is slightly fruity and it tastes like a cross between black and green tea without the harshness of either one. Definitely a get-again.

The flavour is very nice and light, an interesting variation on the basic chamomile tea. It was nice on my poor, sore stomach after I’d been sick for awhile.
