On to the next fairy! This is the tea I was most interested in, an oolong with orange and vanilla flavors. I will say, I was (foolishly) expecting a rolled green oolong here, and was disappointed to see that it’s the Adagio-style generic oxidized variety instead.
Thankfully, it’s still tasty. The oolong is toasty and comforting, and not too sharp or drying on the autumn leaf notes. The orange is very zesty and bright, veering toward vitamin C tablets but not quite there. And then the vanilla/cream smooths everything out without being too rich or decadent.
It definitely reminds me of a Creamsicle, with the orange part being more icy and refreshing, and the vanilla being creamy and smooth. And the oxidized oolong base is actually less weird than I would expect. Still probably would’ve preferred a rolled green oolong, but enjoying this more autumnal version too!
