This blend is the third in a series of commemorative teas for HRH Emperor Oliver, who took leave of the terrestrial realm on September 16, 2013. May He rest in peace.
A blend of almond and vanilla oolong with a touch of chestnut-flavored black tea and some cocoa nibs, hrh emperor oliver #3 is a hearty, dark-liquoring brew. It reminds me a bit of Tazo Pogo and one of Teavana’s Java Mate blends. Perhaps the chestnut flavoring is reminding me of chicory and mate? Or are the cocoa nibs contributing as well? Not sure. The oolong is definitely more oxidized than not—probably good old-fashioned formosa oolong.
I enjoyed this cup on a super-cold day in Boston, staying inside warm and snuggly. I only wish that The Emperor were still here in all of his furry wonderfulness!
Flavors: Almond, Chestnut, Vanilla
