Citron Oolong

I’m having this iced today.
It’s an alright tea, just not for me, I think.

It’s quite lemon-y/flower-y and a little bit oolong-y.

Honestly, as I drink it, I can’t think of much to say. A nice lemon tea for lemon tea lovers b^_^

EDIT: Ok now i know what it reminds me of. I used to have these lemon-chamomile suckers I would suck on when I was feeling sick. Reminds me of those. Maybe I associate the tea with being sick and that’s why it’s so-so.

I think I originally bought this because I wanted to try an oolong. I was a little afraid, as I’d heard oolongs taste somewhere between a green and a black tea. Don’t get me wrong, I love both, but I wasn’t sure how I’d like a hybrid of the two. I tried it for the first time today (several months after I’d bought it) and can happily say that this might be one of my new favourites. It’s really well balanced, with a great combination of bright lemon flavour, rich jasmine, and the earthy oolong. I can definitely pick out the oolong flavour, but it’s mild. I had this with breakfast this morning and it was perfect.

This was a very nice, soothing tea. Not so lemony it’s sour, or so green it’s bitter. Just a lovely lemony tea. Perfect for those cold evenings!

Ok tried a sample of this and the citrus was too strong for me especially when the jasmine fought at times to be the dominant flavour…oolong flavour got a little lost in the mix. I like citrus on its own and I also like a subtle jasmine, but the two mixed didn’t work for me. Haven’t tried it cold yet but won’t be adding this to my collection after I finish the sample. Maybe I am not a huge fan of flavoured oolongs?!? I definitely like oolongs straight though.

I really like this tea, it’s my favorite tea after a big meal! I’ll write a longer review later! (now it’s Supernatural time)

Tried this in-store for the first time. I quite enjoyed it. Citrus-y but not tart and overwhelming. Very enjoyable cuppa, will consider adding it to the collection.

Clean and light taste, and I can almost handle the jasmine (usually it tastes like urine to me) because of the citrus. I wish that the amount of citrus in the smell translated more to the steeped tea, however.

I was really excited about this one because flavored oolongs are rare and even taboo w/ some tea drinkers, but was disappointed. Instead of normally measuring it by weight (2.25g/6 fl. oz) I decided to put one teaspoon in because of the flavorings. I steeped it at 195 degrees F for 5 min in 6oz purified water. I personally like at least a 1:1, but preferably a 2:1 ratio of flavoring to true tea tast. Unfortunately the taste of the oolong was completely masked by the lemon. This would be good in TheraFlu or a hot toddy during the flu season with a lil honey and whiskey. I rated it a thumbs down because I personally do not like herbal teas alone, but if you don’t mind that you can’t taste the oolong tea it’s a very good tea.

Citrus-y and refreshing. Great after meal tea for sure!

I drank a lot of citrus flavored teas today so I’m getting fed up with this taste but I think this one is nice. The lemony notes are not too strong and they pair well with the oolong.

I usually love lemon flavoured teas but there is just something about this one I don’t like. I have to force myself to finish one cup of it.

Looking at Citron Oolong, you’d expect something that tastes a LOT more citrusy than the tea actually ends up being.

Citron Oolong is not orange juice in tea form, but it is a decent oolong tea with a noticeable citrus tone from the lemon and orange flavouring, plus a bit of jasmine. I had it hot, but I feel like it could be better iced. If you’re a fan of citrusy teas than this would be great for you, but otherwise approach with caution. If you don’t like citrusy foods, than you’re not going to be a fan of this tea.

Not bad.

Really lovely light and delicate.

I received this as a sample when my online order came in (yay!) I figured it would be a nice uplifting tea for writing boring lab books. It’s working a little.
Dry: Holy lemon. Will I be able to drink all four cups of this? Where’s the oolong? Nice looking mix though.
Liquor: This reminds me of a lightly sweetened lemon gelato (warm). Maybe a flowery lemon gelato. The smell is a little off-putting for me, but the taste is delicious. The after taste is like a sweet lemon candy. Nice.

I may buy this. I’m not sure yet if I would drink this often enough. Probably would in the summer. I’ll decided after I finish the other two cups.

Edit: Okay.. so.. this oolongs liquor color reminds me of Gold Rush and I absolutely love that tea. Now I want that instead. Hurry up and arrive already!
Edit 2: So I am attempting more steeps from the leaves and they are delivering. You get a huge bang for your buck with this tea.. its still extremely lemony, even after i initially oversteeped this tea many times. Delicious lemon

I really enjoyed this tea. It is not something i would have everyday. I like the taste, it is very light. Smells great.

Was hoping for more orange than lemon, but lemon it is. I do not find the flower perfume appetizing in the slightest. The taste wasn’t so bad, but just kind of meh, and the aroma is so flowery it put me off. Got this as a sample, so at least I’m not stuck with more!

I may have slightly over brewed this tea but I found the citrus to give a bitter undertone to the tea. I was able to enjoy the cup but it was not my favourite. It tastes a bit like lemon peels which gives the bitter taste. I probably wont be buying this tea again.

A nice tea to start the day.

Hummm! :)

I’ve always founded citrus or orange blends to be refreshing, like this one.
The Oolong gives a creamy nice feel to the taste and the citrus gives a strong acid feel.
They went together well in mouth, but I can’t say i’m a fan of it.

One cup is pretty tasty, two cup, ok, but I will never drink a teapot of it.
Why? Because the citrus is strong here.
