Toasted Nut Brulee Oolong

Okay, so I had a pretty potent headache when I picked this one out, so I was in a rush and didn’t really pay close attention. Plus, the salesperson was very pushy about getting this one and I had no energy to question it. And then I just decided to cold brew it because I was curious about it, but didn’t want to drink something hot in this humidity. It had a nice nutty and cinnamon taste that I can imagine would be much better hot. The combo of flavors (especially the cinnamon) is odd as a cold brew. I also tasted something odd about the tea, which upon closer inspection I realized was rooibos. Had I realized that this had rooibos before, I would not have gotten it because I just am not a big fan of rooibos. Anyway, this tasting note feels like it’s kind of all over the place. Basically, I will try this again hot later when I have the chance, but so far doesn’t look too good for my personal taste.

Tea #2 from Another Traveling Tea Box?!?!?!

I agree with other posters…tasting a LOT of cinnamon, slight hint of nuts, and apple. More so the apple as it cools.

It tastes NOTHING like Toasted Nut Brulee Oolong should taste. I’m not a big fan of the apple.

Meh. Smelled lush, aromatic, nutty in the bin so I bought 2 ounces. Only discovered after I got it home that it had at least as much rooibos as oolong, and the rich aroma was already fading. Brewed it this morning, <24 hours after purchase. Like others, I tasted mostly cinnamon with a sweet-tart note of pineapple. Not at all what I expected. It would probably make a decent iced tea, but I can’t recommend it unless Teavana changes both its name and its description to be more accurate.

Is this tea trying to be a burnt French dessert? If so, I’m sure why it has so much tropical fruit. It smells nice though, like cinnamon and almonds. I taste more rooibos than oolong.
This really more of a mildly spiced nut herbal blend. Which is fine, just not what I was expecting. Could use more nut, and a little less fruit.

This was good, but not super exciting. Gave the rest to my daughter

Spending the afternoon with my daughters, drinking this lovely tea from the Cookie Lady. Great day!

A friend convinced me to stop into Teavana when we were at the mall today. All I could think was " don’t buy all the tea. You have enough of their tea already, there are better teas on your wishlist elsewhere." I did end up getting some tea to go and this was it. Cinnamon, apple, and a spiciness that I’m guessing was cardamom (since there was a TON of it in the blend.) I was hoping to get some caramel/sugary goodness from the tea due to the name, but that department was lacking. I did not have this sweetened.

Fun side story, while we were shopping today I was offered applications from both Teavana and LUSH while I was in their stores. I was just chit chatting with my friend, helping her to decide on products, telling her which ones I liked and why, etc. After hearing me talk, managers at both places were asking me if I would like to apply, lol.

Tea #28 from Considering a new TTB
I think it’s a bit misleading to have oolong in the name of this tea because it is mostly rooibos. I could only find a small amount of oolong hidden among the various nuts and candied fruit pieces; then again that seems to be the trend with teavana. Flavorwise this tasted mostly of apples and cinnamon, which wasn’t at all what I was expecting, although it did have a slight nuttiness to it. It may not have been what I was expecting and could certainly benefit from a more descriptive name, I did really enjoy this tea.

This tea won’t be continuing on

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. The only way I could handle this was ice cold, but still, the second it hit the back of my throat I thought I was going to vomit. I thought it would have a nutty flavor, so I bought it, but the cardamom was much too overpowering.

Perfect fall tea, you can really taste the nuttiness and the cinnamon. One of my new favorites! I like to steep for a little longer than is on the package for more flavor.
