Company description not available.
Oh, that’s simply lovely. Very nice oolong base, light and delicate. The plum isn’t too strong, but is an accurate plum and compliments the oolong perfectly. I find it very delicious and refreshing. So glad that I picked this up the other day. If you’re looking for a flavored oolong, I’d highly recommend this one!
Okay, so the packaging totally sold me on this one. The little happy wiener dog has “Ooo-long tea” printed across his long body. EEEEE! And then Jaime had a nice review of this, and I was looking for some handy-dandy tea for work, and so I bought this (plus the Jasmine Earl Grey — with an adorable owl in a tea cup on the box!, and their “Live Forever tea” which had just enough cheesiness for me to buy it).
It’s really amazing that I held off so long on A&D’s teas because their packaging is lightyears beyond this. Oy, I’m a sucker.
I was even hesitant to try another plum-type tea since my only “plum tea” experience was from the insta-tea packet that AmazonV so generously shared with me. And that was a bit bizarre. :)
Anywho, my first cup of this is surprisingly nice! It has a gentle gentle plum scent that almost comes off as floral. I think that I’m also getting a taste of paper from the bags, but I’m not 100% sure. This being at work — I had no control over parameters and of course we got busy. So I think that I may have understeeped this and it’s also now a very cold cup. Therefore I’ll be holding off on giving this a rating. I’d guess that it’s at least a 70. NE
tea box looks cute, i wonder does the tea taste nice too. where to buy this tea?
It’s fine for a bagged tea. I bought it from the Blue Q website http://www.blueq.com/teabags/ but it looks like they no longer have it. But it seems like it’s available on amazon.com :) http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Organic-Ooo-long-Todays-Special/dp/B004F5E94Y

I’m so glad that you’ve tried this and it wasn’t bad! I stumbled across several Blue Q tea sets online and wondered if they were decent (the packaging is too cute) — I just might have to try this and several of their other offerings. :)
I’ve only tried this one and the berry rose. The berry rose is even better!
OOoooOOooooo! I’m gonna have to place an order. I was quite curious about their Earl Grey too. I’ll keep ya posted!
