This is, I think, the first flavored oolong I’ve had.
It certainly struck me as “very different” as soon as I tasted it (being mostly a black tea drinker, but have had most all kinds by now).
Description says it’s oolong with Ginger, lychee and red cornflower; it strongly reminds me of a oolong-mint mixture.
I can’t say I’m a great fan, but it is certainly different. It does taste very “herbal” to me, and I’m not a herbal tea fan.

Steeped this up to drink tonight while working on tasting notes and then promptly forgot about the mug once I’d removed the sachet, so now I’m drinking a cup of cold tea. Since the most prominent notes is a sweet and floral lychee, this actually really isn’t half bad cold at all. I like the hint of lemon too; lychee and lemon is such a great and under utilized flavour combination! It’s just so vibrantly sweet and fresh tasting! Plus an oolong base with floral notes and a bit of a mineral toastiness? Oh, be still my heart!

The game changer for me is the ginger, though! I don’t know that I’ve ever tasted lychee and ginger together before but there’s something about this ‘contrast pairing’ that is so lively and dynamic! Because the ginger is a bit more hot and earthy I feel like it makes that fruit note really pop and sing while the spice is this immediately grounding anchor. Really cool how they come together!

Need to try it hot now, though!

The tin is gorgeous and I got this on sale in satchets.

The tea is pleasant but nothing special. Slightly subdued, but still comforting enough. Something to drink, and I’m glad I purchased for the tin, but it’s not something I’d reorder.

The smell is great, though!

So far have had two cups, both boiling / 5 minutes each steep, one 6 minutes, with a cube of sugar each time in 5 oz water.

Nearly the same blend as 2019, but in sachet form! Fruity, lemon and ginger dominate. The lychee does come up, and the oolong is a heck of a lot more subdued. I’ll come back to this when I can actually pay attention in verbose detail.
