Tropical Coconut Mango Oolong

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’m surprised that nobody else has logged this one yet given that a whole bunch of Bulk Barn teas have been logged on here! Perhaps it’s new?

Either way, I picked it up on a whim today, partly because it smelled so delicious! A dark oolong mixed with yellow flower petals (marigold??), it smells deliciously like tropical fruit. Mmmmm. There are no coconut pieces nor mango chunks, though.

Brewed, this smells tropical and fruity. I think it was more fragrant when it was warmer; it’s rather cool now.

This tastes surprisingly delicious! The central flavour is a tropical fruitiness, followed by a coconutty creaminess, and then, yes, a lovely oolong flavour! Love when fruity teas containing actual tea actually feature its flavour!

I need to get over the fact that this is a tea from Bulk Barn, and consider keeping it as part of my permanent collection. Yes… it’s that good! I’m very shocked/surprised. If you haven’t tried this one and have a Bulk Barn nearby (and like fruity oolongs, of course), I strongly recommend you pick some up. I honestly didn’t pay attention to the price, but I got maybe 3-4 cups worth for $0.41? Sounds like a bargain to me!

ETA: Second infusion (94C/4min) is pretty much a weaker version of the first. Not as impressive, but still good. Lacking enough oolongy flavour to make me happy though; perhaps it could have used an additional minute or so.

This was actually very fruity and tropical smelling! Very good for coming from the Bulk Barn.
1st steep: very fruity, I mostly get mango and pineapple with a little coconut, with the oolong flavour in the background.
2nd steep: 95degrees, 4minutes, same fruity taste but more oolong flavour coming out, not the best oolong base, but still alright.
There is no fruit bits in here though, just flower petals, so I found that kind of weird.
But really, at this price, it is fairly worth it…..35g for $1

Bought this on a whim last time I was at the bulk barn. I’m not quite sure how I feel about this tea. I think it’s the artificial tropical taste that overwhelms me when I guess I was hoping for more of a coconut flavor. I don’t think I’ll be buying this again!
