In need of a little aromatherapy? Sip on this alluring floral oolong from China’s Anxi region. Scented with fragrant magnolia and jasmine blossoms, it has a lively and uplifting aroma that melts away tension as it melts your heart. Just sit back, relax and let this buttery tea’s sumptuous floral finish work its magic.

I made a nice big mug of this to take to work, and it was really nice to sip on throughout the day. I’m currently working out of a different shop, so I don’t have my kettle or tea ware to make tea throughout the day, so I have to decide on one tea to last me all day. It’s definitely something I need to adjust to.
I’m always so thrilled when DT comes out with another oolong (they have far too few IMO). This tea does not disappoint. It’s smooth and slightly sweet, with lovely floral notes. The magnolia really shines and the jasmine is present without being too overpowering or perfume-y. Hopefully this one sticks around.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Smooth
Another tea that came out this year for Lunar New Year (AKA Chinese New Year)!!
Can I just firstly say that I’m really happy that DT has started further exploring straight and scented tea option for oolongs!? I have a dream though; and that dream is that we begin carrying a really good Rose Scented Oolong. Common DT!! Let’s get on that!!
I do like Magnolia Oolongs a lot though, so this was exciting for me! It was the first tea I tried from this collection of three traditional teas (prior to the launch, back when I started at the tea lab – hooray job perks!) and it’s actually the only one of the three that I’ve brewed up on multiple occasions. I’m calling it – I think 2019 is gonna be the year of the oolongs for DT! Or, at least, I really want it to be…
This is nice; it’s sweet and smooth and although I wish it was scented solely with magnolia instead of a combination of magnolia & jasmine I do think the magnolia notes are super present and distinct. It’s like drinking the amazing scent of fresh flowers growing in the spring. It also makes me think of helping my Grandma in the summer with her flower garden, and that tickles all my nostalgia buttons in a weird, wonderful way.
I might not pick up a lot of this one for myself just because I have a lot of DT’s Jasmine Oolong already that I need to finish off and I’m trying really hard not to overload my tea cupboard TOO MUCH – but I definitely want at least enough of this for a Gongfu session or two because I imagine that would be lovely.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
