So long Melon Oolong tea. Your amazing fruit taste will be greatly missed though I am sure we will meet again. Until then, I have some of your delicious friend, Golden Honey Dew to keep me happy. Anyways, thank you Kat_Maria for introducing me to this tea. It is certainly something I would have passed over when placing an order but now I know better.

Uh oh – this got passed over on my order list – I choose the melon white instead and went with pineapple oolong. Hope I didn’t make a big mistake…

I am sure they are all delicious. I have had this and the Golden Honey Dew rooibos and both had a very similar melon flavor. I imagine they are all similar and all delicious.

Melon white is also great – but if I had to choose, I’d go with the oolong, because it has that ripe, ripe Lupicia oolong feel. Trying both is necessary, though.

Thanks for the input guys!!! I’m sharing/splitting an order with someone else. Melon oolong is on her list. I’m sure I can get a sample of it to be able to compare. Love this splitting order thing. Get to try more variety. Now just need to place order and hope that they Canadian shipping thing really works at a reasonable price. :))

There are just SOOOOO many choices on the site. Was really hard to narrow it down to a reasonable sized order. If this works out, I see future orders…

My cupboard has grown exponentially since joining this site and I have a lot to share. Feel free to snoop through my cupboard and message me if anything interests you – I am always happy to swap!

For me, flavored teas are definitely my sweet spot. I will most often reach for black teas and rooibos or honeybush blends but I do keep some flavored whites and greens around for when the mood strikes. I have a few herbals/tisanes but most of the time I find myself disappointed by them as they often smell deliciously sweet and then end up tasting tart/sour. I have a little bit of an aversion to pu’erh and oolong teas. I am also wary of florals, earl greys, and chai teas. I do not like overpowering citrus flavors nor do I usually like hibiscus, licorice or chamomile. I love dessert teas – caramel, vanilla, toffee, cookie, cream, and other sweet flavors make me smile. Fruits like strawberry, peach, mango, and pineapples will often catch my attention as well.

I have also realized that although I really enjoy adding frothed milk to some of my teas, if I do not like the tea with zero additives (just in plain water without milk or sugar), I probably won’t drink it. The one exception is flavored matchas which I will happily drink in cold milk if I do not like it mixed with hot water. My theory is if the tea can’t stand on its own then it is not for me and I will more than likely try to swap it out for something else.

Tea Ratings Guide (as of December 10, 2017)
90-100 Teas I NEED on hand at all times
80-89 Teas I want to keep around for a cup every now and then
70-79 Teas I am glad I have around and can experiment with but probably don’t need more than what’s in my cupboard
60-69 Teas I would not turn down a cup of from a friend but that would probably be enough
50-59 Teas I can see why someone would enjoy but are not for me
Under 50 Teas I really did not like and most likely got dumped
