Blood Orange Pu'erh (organic)

It’s OK. I might buy it again, I might not. Definitely not my favourite, but not the worst in the drawer, either.
I don’t know why (I’m not very well-versed in pu’erh teas), but this tea had a very distinct “old fish” smell. Doesn’t taste that way, but the smell is a bit off-putting.

There was a nice orange taste to it, but not nearly as tart as what a lot of others reviewers were saying. At least, not that I noticed. Nothing like KANPE, even though this also had a lot of hibiscus. It wasn’t the orange that I was expecting or that I was looking for; I’m still trying to find a caffeinated replacement for the “wild sweet orange” tea from Starbuck’s (or whatever it was called). I was hoping this would be it based on the smell, but not so.

Wowza!
Definetly in love with this citrus tea! You can taste the hibiscus quite a bit in the first cup, but if you steep it a second time, the pu’erh and licorice is a lot more present. I’m a sucker for anything hibiscus, and mixed with the delicious earthy taste of the pu’erh, this tea is absolutely one of my favourites! Finally a pu’erh that I can drink anytime, anywhere. Iced or hot this tea is amazing.

This is a tea I tried in store iced, and made again iced when I got home. I do find it a little tart to I added one sweetener and poured it over ice. I really enjoy the flavor and the aroma it has, it reminds me of summer and eating blood oranges. I didn’t steep for the whole 4 minutes, probably closer to three and I found that helps with the tartness. Overall I really enjoy this as an iced tea! Yay for the start of spring!

I enjoyed it though I like teas with a stronger flavor to it. I left my tea bag in there so that I could get a richer flavor. It was cold once I finished my cup and I still liked it. Next time I think I’ll need to try this as an iced tea.

My favourite orange tea of all times. While it’s combined with aged pu’erh it brings out complex notes of earthy-ness.

I had a cup of this this afternoon. It has a beautiful red colour, and the heavy flavour of orange oil. Pu’erh is the base flavour, and it’s perfect with the bright oranges.

I was excited to try this because I like orangey-citrussy teas but I was disappointed in this. It had an really sweet aftertaste that I did not like.

Blood oranges are my all time favorite food. Where I live, they are only available in the winter months. When I was in the David’s Tea store and saw this blend, I had to try it. I was not sold on the smell and it just smelled citrous and not so much blood orange. But I just had to try it anyway.
I was disappointed as it does not taste anything like blood orange and I find the citrous flavour does not mix well with the taste of the pu’erh tea.
I will most likely take a long time finishing what I have.

Beautiful dark red color and the orange aroma and taste is very good. Great tea for the afternoon.
