From Teavana

Tres Bien! This French-inspired flavored oolong tea features luscious strawberries, pink rose buds, crisp rhubarb, white grapes, soft vanilla, and a hint of bubbly champagne. Deliciously romantic, it’s a sumptuous combination that sparkles on the palate, conjuring up dreamy days ambling along Epernay’s rolling vineyards and valleys.

Holidays TTB: this brews up very light in color and taste. I did add sweetener to this which brought out some more of the strawberry flavor. It’s quite smooth. This is not something that I could see myself purchasing for myself so I am thankful yet again for tea boxes :) Thanks guys!

I was working at Teavana when this tea was introduced as a limited edition in 2012. I loved it so much, I sold the store out completely three times before it was made a permanent addition to the lineup, and I never let my tin go empty! It’s delicious hot OR iced, and it blends well with a number of other herbals – my favorite being the Citrus Lavender Sage. I believe Starbucks changed the formulation a bit, but it’s still lovely. The strawberry is tart, but the grapes help sweeten the deal a bit. This is the tea I gift to others, and the kicker is that I’ve never been a huge fan of oolong.

There’s barely any oolong in this, seems like mostly chunks of apple, pineapple and strawberry. Though, I can handle that if it tastes okay and I chalk it up as more of a fruity herbal. This tea has a long ingredients list and has many fruit items that sound nice, like rhubarb, vanilla, peach, rose, tangerine and grapefruit (all flavorings)

This tea is heavy, 1.5 teaspoons is 10 grams of tea. Steeped up and it’s watery with not much flavor, like this is the 2nd or 3rd infusion. What I do get is a slight bubble gum strawberry and rose floral flavor. I even used a higher temp and longer steep time and nope – BOOOOO!

I guess the rest of my 2oz will go to the ice tea pitcher along with a bunch of hibiscus. At least that way it’ll have more flavor.

I’m leaving the recommendation part blank this time. I really liked it before when I bought it (almost two years ago). I noticed the name has changed, but am not sure if the ingredients did. Also, I am uncertain I’ll buy this tea again because of the price and the fact that I have to go out of my way to get to a Teavana store.

I generally don’t add sweetener to my teas. However, any tart teas leaves me wanting just a little sweetness. I usually add agave or honey (whichever I grab first) to this tea. Yesterday I decided to drink it without. I’m not sure if it was the lack of sweetener or if it tasted weaker than I remember, but I threw out half of the cup.

I really love the big pieces of flowers in this tea. And I think the flavour combo is great! I feel like the strawberry flavour can sometimes over power the others, but I like strawberries.

I’m hesitant to try it iced or with carbonated water, because I’m afraid of making it too weak. If anyone has a good tsp : water volume ratio let me know!

Had this again tonight and I have to say that I think I prefer this iced slightly more than hot. I miss the rose flavor when it’s hot, but I get a lot more of it in the aftertaste when the tea is cold.

Teavana makes me grumpy, but I keep going back because some of their teas are amazing. I just wish they weren’t so hit or miss.

This one is more of a miss than a hit. I brewed this cup according to their directions (1tsp/cup, 90 degrees, 3min), and no great surprise, it was a huge disappointment. It had that generic, cheap fruit tisane flavour, that’s vaguely tart with no distinguishable notes. Bleh.

I put the basket back in my cup for another four minutes (this was after it had cooled enough to take a few test sips), and it’s better. There are actual flavours now! But it’s still nothing great.

The strawberry and rose are there, but I’m not getting anything that evokes champagne. There’s a wee bit of oolong earthiness, and an interesting/odd smokiness in the finish and aftertaste; almost burnt. I can’t decide if I like or hate the smokiness. Quite tart too.

It’s better experienced as the fragrance from the bag than brewed up as a tea. Lots of fruit, including some lychee and raisin notes, maybe a hint of dried currant, none of which comes out in the cup.

Maybe I’ll give it another shot iced at some point. It seems like it might do better iced with a bit of sugar.

or as potpourri ?

Anlina

Yeah maybe. Teas that smell amazing and then taste blah are extra disappointing because, so much unmet potential!

Dexter

I agree – they get your hopes up and then just let you down.

I left work early this afternoon. I was like “Later, I’ve got some oolong to drink….I mean, data to analyze. Yes, data, definitely that.” I’m doing that too. But obviously on steepster a bit. Anyway, I just had to try this tea. I mean, strawberries, champagne, and oolong? I love all those things. The generous Ost obliged me :-). To me, this tea tastes like strawberry rhubarb more than anything else. It’s ok, but licorice of the Teavil Empire is there lurking where he does not belong. Why would you add licorice to all this wonderful fruitiness? There’s not enough to make me hate this tea, but my taste buds are not dancing with joy either.

Flavors: Hibiscus, Licorice, Rhubarb, Strawberry

Aha, I didn’t even notice the licorice! :P I definitely have to be in the mood for this tea though…heh, it actually tastes a lot like this hookah flavor called “subzero”. I have a feeling my brother and his friends would like this tea. xD Sorry it wasn’t your favorite, but hey, we’re almost equal right? Well kinda almost. Just hate one more tea and we’ll be equal with the swap!

TheTeaFairy

Haha! I like the “work” pretend :-)

Cameron B.

Well technically she is analyzing the tea! Close enough!

Cameron B.

And boo! hiss! to the licorice. Licorice root is like the Darth Vader to the evil Emperor Hibiscus…

mj

Licorice is totally Darth Vader! He force chokes any tea he visits. And I am analzying data too…just way more excited about my tea lol. And also, each of my samples is like 6 million cells, so I spend a lot of time staring at the spinning pinwheel of death (Mac users, you know what I’m talking about!) while each sample loads. Luckily, I have steepster to entertain me :-)

SarsyPie

I am going to try skipping out of work to drink tea tomorrow. I’ll report back on my results. :p

May the odds be ever in your favor :-)

This is a big, chunky tea. It’s got big pieces of strawberries and raisins and apples and who knows what else. I didn’t actually see much in the way of oolong in the leaves/stuff or in the taste. It’s also very, very light in color and very sweet and perfumey in aroma. The taste is nice, though I think I’d prefer more of the strawberry and less of the rose, since the rose kind of reminds me of body wash or lotion. I don’t think I’ll buy more when this runs out, but I don’t regret buying it. (It was my first experience in a Teavana and I think I still prefer buying online with nobody giving me the hard sell, but hey, it was on sale!)
