What a treat!! Thankyou QuiltGuppy for so generously sharing this sample with me. I quite like it.
The Oolong comes through very nicely, but also takes on the accent of tangerine quite well. I’m on my second steep now, and noticing the orange flavour more and more. It’s very delicate and reminds me of a white tea in some ways.
The sweetness is also very round, lasting until long after I’ve taken a sip.
I wouldn’t want this one all the time but when in the mood for a fruity oolong tea, this will definitely be on my “to crave” list.
I think I’m most impressed by the fact that it’s a fruit oolong. Most that I have tried are overpowered by the added ingredients.
Oh and it’s very smooooooth. The consistency (not the taste) of butter!!!

Fruit Oolong Blend by Sanctuary T
With hints of summer nectarines and dried apricots, this African Oolong steeps into a sweet brew with a malty aftertaste.
From the mountains of Mulanje in Malawi Africa, this blend is a wonderful addition to a connoisseur collection as well as a blend that will convert you into an Oolong fan!
