SO MUCH PLUM! Plum plum plum! I’ve had a couple Plum teas, this one from Ocean of Tea being the most plummy (is that a word?) blend out there.
I found this tea tastes different hot, sweetened, resteeped and iced – the best being sweetened and iced.
Hot, it’s a fresh tasting, lightly roshipy tart tea with the main focus around a berry flavor with a hint of plum.
Sweetened – 100% plum flavor. Never ending plum taste.
Iced – My favorite – refreshing, fruityness with plum notes, lingering plum flavor, with a hint of citrus floral adding interest.
resteeped – a lightly roasted oolong with a tart finish.
Ocean of Tea’s plum oolong is all about the plum – this be the tea if you want a strong flavored blend. As an oolong? There is not much in oolong here, just a bit in the background adding an earthyness pairing great with the plum, but sweetened and iced, I can’t taste the oolong.

Please don’t stop with the song reference! It totally made my day yesterday and got me through the second half of my work day, but I think some patrons were worried about my sanity and I muttered “you say oooh” as I shifted books ;)
I wish Ocean of Tea was still selling this tea…or any tea. :(
LOL @ Rabs!
HAHA
Karsh – What’s the story there…did they totally go out of business??? I’m new to Ocean of Tea!? I must have been a day late and a dollar short, eh!? eeeek
TeaEqualsBliss – I don’t know what’s going on with Ocean of Tea, but they completely dropped off the planet, it seems. I bought tea from them in 2008 and 2009, and I loved their Friday Twitter Tea Party sales. Where else could you get 2 oz. of Jasmine Pearls for $5? Amazing! They also had a lot of great teas. They’ve been dormant online since mid-2009. I hope they come back…
I see their website is still up

But I do see they were on twitter but haven’t posted since October!
BUMMER!
