When I got home from work, I decided I wanted tea but I knew I didn’t want anything too heavy which meant black tea was out. Honestly, if I had a more manageable cupboard, I probably would have reached for Butiki’s Butterscotch & Hazelnut Mocha Candies again. Instead, I grabbed the Pineapple Angel Food Cake Shou Mei that has been sitting in my cupboard forever and hasn’t been touched and then I chose to splurge and open my bag of Vanilla Orchid that I have been saving since March and after all that, I decided I should at least try something new or work on a sipdown so I brewed up some of this as well.
My worry with this is that the oolong flavor would stand out the most. Luckily that wasn’t the case at all. This has a delicious coconut flavor to it – one that is sweet and true to the nut. However, the lemongrass also shines, particularly at the end of the sip. The flavor is really reminiscent of Coco-Lemon Thai tbh and the oolong base works wonderfully to highlight the flavors. I can actually see myself getting more of this in the future so that’s awesome.
