This smells so good! Almost creamy. I got the Tung Ting Vietnam because they were out of this last week and ended up loving it. I’m enjoying these plain oolongs much more so than the flavoured ones. I can see myself keeping this one around. Perhaps this or Tung Ting Vietnam.

This one’s enjoyable. I’m feeling the black tea is overwhelming the flavours so I added a drop of agave and it’s a bit better.

I work Friday nights at a yoga studio. Just me, my manager, and a yoga teacher. So we decided to start something new — tea parties!

Last night we brought in some of our favourites, a teapot, and teacups. We also swapped some teas and I came home with this Kusmi blend. On first scent it smelled like a fancy Earl Grey but the taste isn’t overwhelmingly bergamot.

Update February 22/13: Having this one this morning before my day begins. This is my first cup of black tea in a while and this is a sipdown.

Thanks to kimlovestea for this one!

This one is really good, especially for a bagged tea.

Thanks to Kasumi no Chajin for sending me this one. Smells minty, tastes minty. Though not overwhelmingly mint.

Between this and Luscious Watermelon I can survive the long, seemingly never-ending winter. I enjoy this one both hot and iced.

This one smells just like Gold Rush – evidently the mulberry takes over anything else in the mix – which is a-okay because it smells great.

This brews up an interesting green colour and smells so sweet. Hopefully the taste won’t be as sweet as the smell. From what I remember of Gold Rush this is tasting very similar, perhaps with the slightest hint of nuttiness from the macadamia. I’m enjoying it.

This one is pretty enjoyable, despite my initial skepticism.

Smells like pineapple, peach, and mango both dry and steeped. Pretty good taste, very smooth. I could imagine it better iced.

Update: Yep! Enjoying it more and more as it cools.

This one has a bit of a bizarre smell. Not bad, just bizarre. Like the oolong and vanilla are battling for first place. It comes off kind of yogurt-y.

It’s nicer than other flavoured oolongs I’ve tried but I’m still preferring the Tung Ting Vietman unflavoured.
