OMGsrsly drank Orange Brulee by Della Terra Teas

Hot damn.

This tea smells amazing. It’s like candied orange peels with a deep dark sugary background. Steeped, it smells even more amazing. I didn’t take the temp of my water, so I have a feeling it was a little too hot, but the oolong base is still amazing. The tea is creamy, but not like a milk oolong. The candied orange taste comes out, as well as the deep rich sugar. I wish I had got more of this one. The first cup is going down so well, and I’m excited to do a second and third steep.

Sounds wonderful! (Mentally inventorying cupboard in hopes that I still have some candied fruit stuck in the back somewhere to gnaw on…)

I’m surprised I like it so much. Candied orange peel and ginger in tea sounds like a tasty combination now that I’ve tried this one.

Profile

Bio

Black teas are my favourite, although I do drink the occasional green tea. I am exploring herbal and fruity teas for summer icing and winter evenings, and oolong and pu erh are new and exciting… although I do not like an oolong that tastes mostly of seaweed. I avoid mint, and my BFF is allergic to raspberries, so I read a lot of ingredient listings.

I have discovered that I do not like teas that are too roasty and toasty. Some Rig Red Robe teas are ok, some Yunnan Blacks are ok, some hojichas are ok. Just some. I seem to prefer traditional blends (oh Irish breakfast), Assam, Ceylon and Nilgiri types as unflavored morning caffeine boosts. Flavoured black teas are closest to my heart, and therefore take up the most room in my stomach.

My ratings are based on the little faces, and depend on what face I make when I sip the tea! :)

(Isn’t that a bling-tastic tea cup?)
