Orange Dulce

Smells good, tastes good. A very pleasant tea. I want to say smooth…I think what I’m tasting here are just really well blended flavors. Nice!

Edited to add: What is it with me and this “perfumy” thing? I truly think I must have a slight dislike of Jasmine, and that is what I’m picking up here as I continue to drink this first cup. Still pleasant enough though.

Edited again to add: Can’t stop thinking about this tea even 8 plus hours later. Need to try it again to tomorrow because it clearly made an impression this morning despite the jasmine issue above.

I found this one at a closeout store and picked it up due to my love of flower and fruit combos in tea.

Fortunately, I’m not noticing a creamsicle taste like many are (I’ve always thought that they were the most awkward dessert ever, but that’s neither here nor there). The three flavors combine, rather than creating a taste with several flavors to pick out, so it’s fruity and slightly creamy but with a sweet flowery taste too. I get the feeling this isn’t a tea that would be popular with the masses, but if you love flower tea like me and don’t mind a few unusual additions, it’s lovely. Still, I think the ratio of the flavors could have been improved — something’s a little off about it.

I do understand the earl grey comparisons, but as someone who tends to dislike earl grey myself I don’t think that should be a turn-off. This is what I wished it tasted like.

I found a Mighty Leaf variety pack of full leaf tea bags in my local supermarket and decided to give it a go. This is my first Mighty Leaf experience. It smells and tastes like a creamsicle, as many have suggested here. I completely agree. With the addition of a lot of floral characteristics. It is a very pleasant tasting tea. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I am impressed with the quality of the tea, since it is in a tea bag, and I generally only drink loose leaf, I wasn’t expecting to like it so much!

I grabbed this tea during a breakfast with my buddies at Corner Bakery and was blown away by how much it grew on me in just a short 16oz cup. The vanilla evens out what would have been an overbearing citrus flavor, while complementing the sweet with a hint of jasmine. The aroma, while a little too sweet in the beginning grows on you. Perfect for a late morning tea to push you through to lunch.

I had this for the first time last night. It was a little odd: the orange and vanilla created a taste not unlike that of a creamsicle… but I was drinking hot tea. I’m not a huge fan of strong vanilla flavor, but this tea was good.

When I first heard the combination of orange, vanilla and jasmine, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it. After one sniff, and several sips later I was hooked. Orange Dulce is a must-have in the cupboard at all times. A perfect alternative to coffee when you need a little boost, this flavored black tea is a divine treat.

I had a cup of this with lunch this afternoon. I really enjoyed it as a black tea, it was smooth and not at all bitter.
However, I didn’t pick up on the orange as much as I would have liked to. (It may have been that I was drinking it with hummus though, so the hummus probably overpowered the tea like crazy.)

I had this tea before, and I seem to remember not liking it that much. Most likely it was due to drinking it at a restaurant that served the tea with water that was not at the correct temperature. When I made this at home it had a wonderful scent of orange and vanilla, and the taste was smooth – almost creamy. I did not begin to taste the jasmine until the tea cooled, and I found the taste a bit distracting. This is definitely a tea best drunk while hot/warm.

The only other orange tea I’ve had? Tazo. This is immeasurably better.

I was a bit surprised to have fallen in love with this tea. It’s a bit strong without the bitter taste, with undertones of vanilla. A true treat.

This was part of a tea sampler Christmas gift that I received today. Yay tea! My caffeine problems normally keep me from drinking black tea but I’m gearing up for a long night of festivities. This smells yummy. Orange and sweet. Just tastes like black tea until I add milk and sugar which transforms it into a dreamsicle.

I really like the softened orange taste of this blend, which makes use of vanilla and flowers to give a “latte” style taste to the black tea and orange. Plus it being orange instead of the stronger bergamot yields a not-too-strong flavor; just right. The vanilla softens the citrus taste further, giving it a distinct taste from that of other softer citrus teas like Lady Grey.

This is the tea that got me into tea.

Molto profumato ma dal gusto un po’ anonimo.

This tea smells amazing but disappoints in the mug. Earl Gray-like as others noted, but the taste disappears.

hmmmm enjoyed this on Christmas Day from a Tea for One kit i received that came with it!!! Soooo good!!! :) . i enjoy it , my aunt says it reminds her of the terry chocolate Oranges!!! [mind you there is NOT a chocolate flavour to it!!] it became a part of my photo collection of the holidays, because it’s rich colour and the warm christmas lights just made everything, a glow! :)

12oz water
4g tea
Amber steep

Just didn’t like this. the aroma seems artificial to me and it just tastes off. couldn’t finish it.

This is lovely. I might have to make myself a cup and take note of how long I steep it for and all that. I’ve never been into the technical side of tea drinking… I just enjoy tea!

I don’t really care for this tea. I’m coming to the realization that I don’t enjoy vanilla in tea. I love vanilla in many other applications, but in tea, it’s not my thing.

I like to buy the Mighty Leaf variety pack, and when I first grabbed it I thought this would just be one of the ‘filler’ teas and nothing special. I ended up always wanting this one in the mornings, and had to buy some full boxes of Orange Dulce. I still think African Nectar is their best flavor, but this a good one when I want the caffeine. I normally drink it straight, but with milk and sugar it’s fine as well.
