I love oolong tea it is one of my favorite types of teas. I spent a few days in Canmore Alberta and I had to visit the local tea shop. I figure I should start linking the teas I'm reviewing with where to buy them except this tea isn't on their site. However you can buy other teas from this company here. I do not get anything from you using that link so order or don't order teas freely. The bag of this tea doesn't boast anything it simply tells you the ingredients and that's all. I suppose I should start the review part by saying this is loose leaf tea that I brewed in a David's Tea steeper.
Ingredients: Oolong, raspberry pieces, strawberry pieces, cornflower, natural flavours
Steep Time: 5 mins (they recommend 3 minutes but I like a strong tea)
Amount: approx. 1.5 teaspoons in approx. 16oz of hot water.
Colour: orange
Smell: The smell of the dry tea is a strong punch of berries. However once steeped the smell become a mild oolong tea smell with subtle berry undertones.
Sweeteners: none no need in my opinion.
Stars: 4/5
Taste: This tea does not have a super strong berry taste. The oolong comes through nicely with little to no bitterness even when cold. In my opinion oolong has the just right flavour between green tea and black tea. I drank the first half warm and because you know I'm a mom the second half got cold when life decided to interrupt my morning unwind, haha. When warm the berry undertone comes through much better, but there is not much of a difference between the warm and cold tea.
