Maple Syrup Oolong

This one is just “alright” for me.
The flavours aren’t very distinguishable, leaving a “swampwater” impression.
In a word – muddled.
It’s a touch too sweet, I can detect a phoney maple note and something fruity/apple-like but the oolong is wasted as it’s completely smothered.
This came in a sampler pack and out of the 6 I’ve sampled so far, this is my least favourite.

No particular flavor that stands out, just tea thats sweeter than normal. Not
Memorable. You can do the same by adding maple syrup to any old tea- or your fave.

I’m just not a maple or a cake/baked goods fan in a tea. Also the sample seemed weak.

the apple/fruit comes through, but not necessarily in a bad way. I do get a maple based taste and an earthy taste as well. pretty good I’d have to say. would repurchase with a sale.

Smells incredible, but the maple doesn’t really come through when brewed. The tea is so full of bits of apple, papaya, and raisin that you don’t get to appreciate the oolong much, either – which may be the point; they want you to have to use a lot of tea per cup in order to get you to buy more. Afraid it’s a “meh” from me.

Smooth and so good as an oat milk latte. Tastes like Maple Oatmeal

Tried in just water and just as good, lighter and feels less like a breakfast tea and more like a dessert tea that you have after dinner.

This was the first oolong tea I ever had. It smells wonderful. David’s Tea knows how to make their teas smell good! This tea smells like a maple cake. It has a warm, gourmand, and fresh scent.

As far as taste goes, you definitely taste the oolong, roasted kernel notes, with a hint of maple syrup. To me, this tea was not that sweet (but I like really sweet things, so it would be hard for something to be sickly sweet to me).

I think for me this tea needs more maple, but it is a good tea. The aroma of this blend makes it a pleasant drinking experience.

I have already ordered this tea twice now. I want to order it again for a third time soon.

I must say, the flavor of this tea took me by surprise. It was absolutely sweet, but it wasn’t as overwhelming as I expected. I actually quite enjoyed sipping casually on my cup of Maple Syrup Oolong. After drinking about half the cup, I let it sit while I did some chores when I came back it was cold. As a cold tea, the sweetness is definitely amplified and more so in an overwhelming way. This is a tea I would prefer hot over cold. I’ve heard many enjoy this tea as a hot latte and I am definitely going to try this out as well, I think the warm milk will compliment the strong maple flavor and make it even more cheerful!

This is my first David’s tea, and my first thought upon opening the packet was, “Oooh, I smell maple!” That was quickly followed up by “Where’s the tea?” This is full of dibbins and nubbins of fruit and other ingredients.

Hubby’s comment was much the same on his first sip: “I get the maple, but where’s the oolong?”

Don’t get me wrong…this is still extremely tasty; great for afternooners when you need a sip of something sweet. But the general impression it leaves is maple with fruit, not pancakes and waffles. I think it just needs to be more accurately renamed.

Tastes like artificial butter.
