So I ordered a build-your-own sampler with a sachet of every flavored oolong that Seven sells. This is the first one I’m trying, and I’m a “save the best for last” kind of person, so I chose a flavor that I wasn’t overly excited about. (My husband thinks that’s weird, by the way… XD)
The wrapper recommended 300 ml of water, but that seemed crazy to me given the amount of leaf in the sachet. I ended up using 16 ounces because it was almost a tablespoon worth of leaves, and oolong expands so much. The resulting brew has plenty of flavor, so no regrets there. The oolong is definitely on the floral side, which is not my favorite. Strawberry is there as well, though it’s quite mellow and light. I would say it’s on the candy side of things, but it doesn’t taste terribly artificial or anything.
It’s nice, but the floral presence is a bit strong for me. Definitely looking forward to trying some of the other flavors though.
Flavors: Candy, Floral, Silky, Smooth, Strawberry, Sweet
