Long Life Oolong

Supposedly oolong teas are supposed to help with anxiety so this is my first oolong from David’s Tea, to try it out.

I’m definitely getting the peach flavour, but it’s mild. Not unpleasant. As I said, I’m not familiar with oolong teas, so I’m not sure what I expected. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was drinking a tisane. Not a lot of tannin at all. All I’m really getting is some mild peach. It’s not bad, but I don’t know that I would repurchase.

Another tea my co-worker gave me…this one kind of reminds me of green and fruity tea! The only thing is I can tell the quality has gone down a bit since it has been sitting for a while, but it is still good!

Delicious! This is/was my first oolong ever and I truly enjoy it. I love the fruity peach chunks.. the smell of the dry tea is PHENOMENAL (well, to me at least) and the taste is as good! Tastes fruity and the after taste is wonderful too. Really good when its warm! I would buy again, but I want to try some more oolong flavours now..!

I’ve had this one a few times now and can say two things with certainty 1) I definitely like it and 2) it consistently puts me to sleep. I didn’t include this in my last order because I wanted to try it again to make sure I liked it enough to buy 50g and now I’m sad I didn’t just get it. This was an excellent before bed tea — the fruit was malty and thick, and the tea itself did a wonderful job of relaxing me.

I just love this tea.

I only had 2 servings of this and I’m already out. So sad.

It’s only the second oolong tea I’ve tried and I don’t know much about them so I can’t really comment on the quality of the it, but I do enjoy the peach taste very much. I think it’s just perfect. Vert light, very sweet, and very natural. I think I can also taste the almonds in it, although I might be imagining it.

Anyway it was the perfect tea for me today. I was feeling tired and blah and this tea made me happy. And then sad because I need more. I’ll need to re-stock ASAP.

All in all, it is a very fragrant tea. It is not super fruity, the oolong balances it out, creating a unique taste.

I love how the oolong leaves start out all coiled up in little balls, and as you steep it, the open up REALLY BIG! SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH

Opening the bag, I thought this was going to be too tart for my taste. It has a very strong smell of peaches and orange peels, but the tea itself isn’t as powerful. I’m not very keen on flavored oolongs but this one is not so bad. I can taste the oolong flavor, but the fruit adds a natural sweetness which is nice. My favorite part is how I can get multiple cups out of just one sachet. Usually I get about 3 before I get bored of it, or it gets too watery. The peach and orange mixture is a good flavor, but this doesn’t strike me as a particularly memorable tea. I’ll stick to my unflavored oolongs.

This is the second oolong tea that I have tried. During the first steep the fruity aromas were pretty strong. I nice peach smell… I wasn’t too sure what to expect – I found that it was a bit strong and I could have sweetened it but I didn’t. Today i steeped it again and have to say that I liked it the second time around better than the first!

This tea tastes quite alot like the fruit described however the almond flavour didn’t come across to me. I found it light and peachy but that may have something to do with the fact I only steeped it for about 3-5 minutes. I generally like stronger teas however I loved the light scent that arose so I decided to keep it consistant.

I’m not in love or anything, but it has a great fruity smell and a pleasant, smooth taste.
