The dry leaves are super aromatic and the smell of grape is wonderful but in the liquor itself, it’s very mild. The Oolong base is a high-quality Taiwanese Oolong. Although you can clearly taste the grape, the oolong’s flavor is the strongest of the two. Some tart (not sour), sweet grape notes with a slight astringency. A little vegetal, not buttery. Crisp. The grape flavor is more of (for lack of a better term) an adult flavor (muscatel), wine-like vs candy. It’s not the grape flavor of fresh grapes either. I’m guessing it’s kind of like other Lupicia teas, that it’s geared towards an alcoholic-like beverage. Hard to describe. It is good though, and I love grapes but I prefer the fresh fruit grape flavor. ^^ I’m still glad I bought it and got to try it.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
