Tropical Coconut Mango Oolong from Bulk Barn

Missy drank Tropical Coconut Mango Oolong by Bulk Barn

This is another sample from Krystaleyn. Thanks again! It is my last sample from her, sad face.

Another very interesting tea. I know it says mango but really it feels more like peach to me. I get a hint of coconut right after the oolong. The oolong is sweet and again reminds me of rocks. Maybe my tasters are off today. I’d say it’s earthy but I find no vegetal or moist hints in it. Yay, more oolong! Thanks again.

I cannot believe how quickly you two blasted through these samples! I definitely have tons of yours left to go. Pitfalls of having too much tea around, I think? (I just looked and I think the only review I didn’t see was of a teabag I sent – or did I not end up sending one because I was over the weight limit?? I don’t remember!)

Also yes, not all oolongs have the vegetal flavour, and this would be one that doesn’t. I did get a lovely oolong aftertaste with this one though, if I recall correctly.

You are right there is a tea bag! That’s part of the beauty of sharing cups. I can brew 2 teas at one time. Score! What’s an oolong aftertaste?

Ummmm, I can’t describe it except as an oolong aftertaste XD

I find that oolongs, whites, greens all have a similar lingering aftertaste. It may in fact be the same one, but based on the tea I’m drinking I associate it as the aftertaste of a specific tea. It’s just…. good. And lingers. Like, really lingers, often.

I’ve had a few after tastes but I generally move on to another tea pretty quickly. I’ll have to let that after taste develop some time and examine it.

Bio

I’ve discovered I really like the spicy, nutty teas. Some fruity teas are pretty good but they are hit and miss for me. Flower teas really aren’t my thing right now. Seems like my preferences are changing so this may be different in the future.

Tea Rating system:

90 – 100: This is a tea I will always have on hand at work, and at home. I will leave it on altars as offerings of perfection.

80 – 89: This, or one of it’s close cousins, will likely be in my cabinet at home. When this tea runs out, I will buy more. I’ll always wonder if there is something better, but be too afraid to look to stray from home to find it.

70 – 79: Definitely good, but not a clear winner. I enjoy it, I’ll finish it, but I probably won’t buy it again until I’ve exhausted all other versions of this product from any reputable retailer. Though, it may enjoy a resurrection for custom blending.

60 – 69: This tea is okay, but definitely not something I’m going to brew again. I’m going to give what I have left away.

30 – 59: I didn’t finish drinking this tea. I actually poured it out, and went for something else. I’ll still give this tea away, but I’ll do it with a warning and a plead for forgiveness.

0 – 29: This tea is riding securely towards an iceberg at the helm of the failboat. I’ve taken this out of my tea tin, and laid it on a napkin as potpurri. I do not consider it fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did copy this from Dylan. It’s okay we share every thing any ways.
