This is the third tea from Michelle that I have tried, and it is a surprise KAPOW thumbs up for me. Thank you, Michelle!
I liked the name and found it intriguing that an oolong was being marked as a morning tea when usually strong black tea gets that designation. The website (and I found it at The Tea Kitchen as well) says to enjoy it in the afternoon and if I had a bunch (which I think I eventually will) I most certainly would because this is low caffeine!
It is a fairly light oolong that is not smoky at all but also doesn’t lean toward green. The wow factor is the lemon and basil. The lemon flavor reminds me of Fortnum’s Black Tea with Lemon. It is not at all tart and puckery. Before looking the tea up to see what was in it, I initially thought I was smelling freshly peeled orange with the little spritz of orange that kisses your face as you peel it. The taste was dead on like Fortnum’s lemon, though.
This would definitely be an awesome afternoon sipper if you are caffeine sensitive and I bet it is fabulous iced as well.
I didn’t think I was a fan of this one, but I did sip through the bag quickly and I’m contemplating adding it to a Black Friday order :)
Glad you liked it!
