From Zhi Tea

Ingredients: Oolong loose tea leaves* with orangepeel*, calendula* marigold*, and orange* flavor
(*Organic)

We invite you to try our Zhi House Blend Mandarin Orange Oolong, crafted specifically to enhance the intrinsic beauty and flavor of our Shui Xian Oolong loose leaf tea. Orange peel and Calendula marigold petals combine to make a complex, slightly citrus Orange Oolong tea with distinct floral notes.

Mild, yet very crisp and clean, our Mandarin Orange Oolong is not only a conversation starter, it is a conversation enhancer! Expect surprises with this lovely tea.

More about this lovely Orange tea:

Our Shui Xian base is a smooth and round accompaniment in this blend. Slightly less intense and than our Wu Yi oolong, the Shui Xian or Water Fairy has a nice floral undertone and strong body to it that really gives the orange notes a balance in the mid-range but doesn’t distract or overpower.

The Mandarin Oolong tea tea has a nice warming and uplifting quality to it. Enjoy the taste of orange without the citric acid content to bother your stomach or palate.

Sipdown! (2 | 454)

Ooh I’m excited for this one, it’s always refreshing to have an orange tea with no spice in sight. I really enjoy more zippy orange teas, and oolong sounds like a lovely base for it.

Hmm… It’s a bit underwhelming for me, and not really what I was expecting. I do enjoy the orange part of it, though it does veer into Tang territory. It has a nice zestiness and isn’t overly sweet. However, the base is just too strongly roasted and it overpowers most of the orangey goodness. The two also don’t really meld well together in my opinion. Sometimes contrasting flavors can be nice together, but here the dark toastiness of the oolong just covers up the brighter orange.

Oh well! Not a bad tea, just not up to my expectations unfortunately.

I think the only other orange oolong I’ve had is Amanatsu Oolong from Lupicia, and for some reason it didn’t “wow” me. Don’t remember why now…
