A Taiwanese oolong tea inspired by the refreshing scent of Shikuwasa, a specialty of Okinawa. The refreshing flavor is also good for iced tea.
When hot water is poured, the refreshing flavor of Taiwanese oolong tea “Bunzan Bao Tzu” overlaps with the fresh scent of Shikuwasa.
The high-quality and transparent taste is recommended not only for straight but also for iced tea.
Shikwasa is a kind of citrus that grows naturally in Okinawa. The name is derived from the Okinawan dialect, “shi” meaning acid and “kwasa” meaning giving.

Tea experiments: Iced Shikwasa oolong Tea
So from my last tasting, hot, this tasted like a nice floral taiwanese oolong, however no shikawasa citrus notes. Now, the only reason I know about this fruit is from the sakuraco treat subscription box from august the last two years. They had shikwasa jellies, candies and pastries with jams and i became really pulled in by that flavor. Its a lemon that also has a lime flavor. Anyways, this tea on its own dry smells like the fruit but doesn’t have any flavoring of it as far as i can tell.
Enter stage 2: buying pretty expensive imported shikawasa concentrate juice and trying to make a tea mocktail. I have little to no experience making sweet teas and mocktails and it shows unfortunately. XD I won’t rate this until I think it is better.
Tasting note:
I think i diluted my tea with too much ice as the citrus flavor seems to have overwhelmed the tea. I didn’t put much juice or sugar/honey in, roughly a tsp each. End product kind of reminds me of a tarter lemon-lime gatorade (or at least what i remember it tasting like, its been a long while since I had one). Haha, it is certainly palatable but not what i was envisioning.
