576 Tasting Notes
I’m confused. I thought I was drinking tea, not mango juice! This is really delish, but I don’t know how to rate it.
It’s tropical, fruity and definitely mango-y with a hint of ginger and spice. It’s quite tasty, just not really very much like tea. I don’t taste any tea at all, oolong or otherwise. Bet this would be great iced too. Hmm.
I’m upping the rating on this one. I brewed up my sample over the weekend – drank all of it actually! Wish I had purchased the Maharaja Chai too…my fail. Anyway, I let this steep for the length of the cup, which was well beyond Teavana’s parameters. Like my other fave chai combo, this resulted in a flavorful, spicy cuppa; in a word, delish! I reinfused the leaves once and as a result really stretched the length of that sample. I left the sugar in there; I was replaying Fallout: New Vegas and needed the extra energy!
I tried that sample at the store and found that the Samurai Chai really toned down all the things I loved about the Maharaja, so opted to stick with the unblended. How dare they mute my spicy tea, I say!
I haven’t been able to try it sans samurai. But I’m sure it’s good! I really regret not getting it on the sale. :( Sigh.
i just checked and it’s back in stock! Think it’s worth $12 for 2 oz?
I’m rather new to Teavana, but I pay the $12 for 2 oz and save it for a special pick me up. Someday when I can afford it I’ll go in on it in bulk so I always have it on hand and get the volume discount. I think I got 5 strong 24 oz pots out of my 2 oz.
I do love that you can reinfuse, so right there it’s more like 4 oz for the $12 price tag. OK, I’ll get it next time around. You sold me! :)
I have some of this, almost 2 oz, plus a sample if you’d like to swap, cause I don’t want it!
I just ordered more of this, to take advantage of the sale and satisfy my craving. I just love this! As it brews, you’re treated to a wonderful caramel marshmallow aroma – and it tastes just as good as it smells. Love the little sprinkles (of course) and the gold pearls (also, of course). I left this steeping longer than I would’ve normally as I got called away, but when I returned this still tasted awesome.
Awesomeness, that sums up Della Terra Teas! :)
It’s been a while since I had this tea, but I purchased more from Teavana today and figured I would use up what I had left (which wasn’t much).
I don’t know why I stopped drinking this – it’s so yummy. I know it’s not for everyone, but as I’m learning I don’t care for lots of white teas, I find I do really enjoy this one. It’s very fragrant and full-bodied. Love how it smells dry and while steeping. Now I need my order to get here fast, I’m back on the bandwagon!
I really enjoy this cuppa. I just placed a small order from Teavana (haha, seriously, the items were all on sale) and I thought about getting more of this one, but couldn’t find it. Oh well. Accidentally Awesome from Adagio custom blends is pretty close.
This is a perfect blend of vanilla, mint and chocolate. Each flavor can be tasted in each sip. It’s quite delish – and very satisfying for people cutting calories!
Try the kamiya papaya, similar spice but you taste the oolong much more. : )
I’m drinking this tonight to avoid too much caffeine this late, and agree that the oolong is not detectable, but I do like it anyway, even though I tend not to prefer really fruity teas. I think the ginger and spices help make it less like drinking fruit juice. I agree that it would taste really good cold too.
