One can tell that orange essence oil is used to flavour this oolong in that a thick oily taste is all I can detect!

Very good. It’s gentle, brews a pale yellowish liquor. Very clean, buttery, a bit of cucumber and some citrus.

For an Assam, this tea is incredibly light and fragrant. It has a warm, malty, almost caramelly flavour to it and very little tannin, making it ideal to drink without milk.

This is one I shall have to try! Must drop into Pekoe next time I’m in Edinburgh; there are no decent loose tea shops in Glasgow, disappointingly.

Fruity, soft and fresh. Definite notes of melon and something like pear. Plus you can see all the little downy bits suspended in the water, it’s really fun.

A lovely tea, pale, flavorful, excellent. Has hints of what they call melon, but I’d call cucumber, slightly tangy, and an overall really excellent tea enjoyed by my whole family.

i usually steep for ~6mins with tons of Sugar to add to teh sweetness of the tea already. W/o the sugar you can already taste the cinnamon. it keeps me pretty relaxed throughout the day. (i usually have my tea around 12:30-1pm)

I love the rooibos teas, dude. Haven’t tried a chai rooibos I don’t think, so I’ll have to hunt one down! Unless that one I tried at Starbucks was a chai rooibos…

A fruity alternative to regular Oolong. Great in the morning.

Much better with boiling water and approx. 6 min brewing time!

I brewed it for 5 mins as instructed but the water wasn’t quite boiling. A little weak but I’ll brew another with hotter water to see if I can get a stronger taste. Can’t fault the spices though!
