I had a pot of this last night. Once again, as with all the other flavored oolongs I’ve tried from Teavana so far, I definitely don’t think there was even close to enough actual oolong in this to even bother having put it in the mix in the first place. This probably should have just been a flavored herbal tea in the end.
I do, however, think the flavor of this was quite nice. The chocolate in this mix sweetened it just enough to balance the spices. I still think there was too much cinnamon because it kind of made the back of my throat feel rough, which often happens when there is too much sweet cinnamon. This tasted better the longer I let it steep. I would consider buying some of this but maybe only if it were on sale.

Hey, I’m pretty new to teas. So far I only have teavana but I just order some other things. This tea is my son’s favorite. Well, it was in the store. I’ve made it at home a few times for him. I think you are right. It needs to steep longer. How long did you do it for? thanks for the help, Kyla
Yay for new tea converts!! I brewed this in a 3-cup pot, from which I took the first cup out after about 5 minutes. The second cup came out around 9 minutes. The final cup that was the best came out somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes after first putting the infuser in to brew.
Also, you might try checking out Adagio or River Tea. They both seem somewhat similar to Teavana but a little cheaper and you don’t have to buy as much (at least in the case of Adagio).
Good luck finding more teas to enjoy!
