I created this tea for one of our 52Teas Ambassadors who wanted a lime sugar cookie oolong. So I pulled out all the stops for this special customer! I used a very special TieGuanYin from Verdant Tea and blended it with dried lime segments and lime leaves to give it a delightful lime note. The cookie notes are buttery and sweet which tone down some of the tarty notes of the lime without obscuring the bright lime flavor. Then I added some beautiful lime green edible glitter (don’t worry, it’s vegan!) There isn’t a lot of glitter to this, just enough to add a little bit of shimmer to the dry leaf.
The natural creamy notes of the Oolong meld beautifully with the flavors of lime and buttery cookie. The first infusion of the leaves has a softer buttery taste and mouthfeel while the second infusion has a stronger lime note – both infusions are really delicious so I highly recommend resteeping these leaves!
This tea truly is sublime!
