This one was pretty good. Not an all time favorite, but I might stock up before it goes away. Sweet, not too much cinnamon for my taste, I enjoyed it with a splash of 1/2 and 1/2. All the marshmallows dissolved in the first steeping so I didn’t even bother trying to resteep this tea.

It’s ok. I’ve had two cups of this now and both times liked the first half of the cup much less than the second half. I think the bottom half is sweeter. It’s not as strong and rich of a flavor as I had hoped when I smelled it. Not sure if that’s because it’s a white tea base, but I’m left wanting something more. I think I’ll use the remaining tea leaves I have left trying it as a latte next (or just adding a dash of 1/2 and 1/2) because that seems to be popular. But as it stands now, I don’t feel a burning urge to stock up before it goes out of stock.

This tea is absolutely delicious. I am drinking it as desert with a tsp of German Rock Sugar and it is a perfect dessert tea. It tastes exactly like it smells, like a rich sweet banana nut bread with only 25 calories! I feel like I really need to stock up on this blend before it’s retired for the season.

This is a great straight oolong, just not quite as good as the Monkey Picked in my opinion. I am definitely enjoying it more than the Six Summits. I actually preferred the second steeping to the first, it was mellow and tasty. I am glad that I picked this up during the 75% off sale, and might go back for more before it goes out of stock.

After wanting this tea for about 8 months I finally broke down and bought it over the weekend. I’ve really enjoyed the same teaspoon of tea leaves for 5 steeps so far over yesterday and today. I almost never resteep with flavored or blended teas, so I’m really impressed with the longevity of these leaves. I’ve tried it plain hot, iced, sweetened with rock sugar, and sweetened with a touch of honey. It’s enjoyable every which way. I don’t think this is one I will buy bucketfulls of, but enjoy slowly, and when it’s done I think I might try another variety of straight oolong to compare/contrast.
