Little aroma, at best, a very elusive scent of muscatel. Highly astringent. Flavor is OK, but not memorable. 2nd infusion: stronger scent, milder taste but still very astringent
Home with a bug today, so I wanted something caffeine-free. The dry rooibos smells primarily of strawberry, but once infused, scents of peach and citrus notes really develop. I added a bit of rock sugar while infusing which helped to enhance the fruitiness. This is tart with a sweetness, warming and comforting. A good choice.

Very light, creamy caramel aroma and flavor with a softer tart undernote. Taste of brown sugar is enhanced with adding a bit of rock sugar while infusing.
Taste of cloves and a hint of orange go well together. Used a squeeze of fresh orange juice and a bit of rock sugar to enhance the orange flavor for a pleasant afternoon cup.

This is the first oolong from Wild Orchid that I have tried. The dry leaves smell faintly of powdered orange drink. After steeping, however, the tea has a strong orange blossom (?) aroma and tastes very flowery. It is impossible to detect any subtle complexities in the oolong as the floral aroma and flavor are too overwhelming. The aroma/flavor are a bit more subdued in the second infusion, but I still can’t quite hack my way through the perfume. I have tried a few flavored oolongs, and I’m not adverse to flower-scented teas, but the florals in this tea are way too overpowering to enjoy the cup.

Dry leaves smell like curry! Aroma does not carry over to infused tea which (with milk and sugar) tastes mildly spiced. Pleasant, but not memorable.
Again part of the sampler from Wild Orchid Teas—aroma of dry leaves was definitely of strawberries. Labeled as “naturally flavored” but no strawberries (dried or otherwise) are to be found in the blend. Prepared as recommended. Tea was pleasant at the outset with a sweet, fruity flavor. However, a strange, strong metallic flavor/aftertaste developed as the tea cooled. Will not be repeating the experience.
