Ah, another example of Lupicia’s delicious flavored green oolongs. This is intensely melon-y; perhaps too intense for some folks, but if you like super ripe cantaloup and green oolongs, this one is one for you. I happen to love it because it really envelops you in the melon flavor. I don’t know if I’ve ever met one of Lupicia’s flavored green oolongs that I didn’t like, and I love that they are clean fruity blends that really complement the oolong.
This also reminds me that I really need to get some Naivetea oolongs back in my cupboard because as much as I love these, Naivetea’s flavored oolongs are probably the best ever.

I was so excited to find Lupicia is an Australian brand (or at least has an Australian store—haven’t read up on where they originated). It’s tricky for an Aussie to read so many amazing reviews from the northern hemisphere that won’t ship to us, but I’m gonna cut sick on Lupicia either online or next time I’m in Melbourne… adding this to my wish list, for sure.
I’m so very excited about it because I WALKED BY THEIR HEAD OFFICE when I was in Japan, haha. Fangirling here, I love Lupicia so much.
I first found them in Hawaii and thought they were Hawaiian for a while, before the staff set me straight.
keychange – I had that one a while ago and it was actually too floral for me! Which is amazing. Violet isn’t my fave, though.
Anna – Naivetea are worth it. The Passion Fruit and Lychee are my favorite of theirs.
I absolutely adored this tea as well. Have you tried naivetea’s rose violet calendula?
ARGH! Okay. Okay, fine. I will add Naivetea oolongs to the shopping list.

yes especially loved the Passionfruit by Naivetea!
Lupicia are Japanese!
Ah I see, thanks Anna! Very exciting to see a wonderful store with such a global spread.

Yeah, they looked good – I’m really curious about the peach, too. Because peach! Unfortunately, they only ship to the US, and I have too much tea. Maybe in the fall, though. Thanks!
