Herbal Pu-erh Blend by Ten Ren
Oriental Delight tea is a blend of Pu-Erh tea with Chrysanthemum flowers. When brewed, it has a dark brown hue, a deep rich sweet taste, and a flowery aroma. The Oriental Delight blend is frequently served in fine Chinese Dim-Sum restaurants. Water at boiling point should be used for steeping.
This tea is yummmy. I was trying to find a bagged version of my favorite dim sum tea so that I could enjoy it at school. Somewhat difficult to find without knowing Chinese characters, but after standing in the tea aisle long enough, I picked up this box and whaddayaknow!
Anyway, this tea is great, not too sweet, not too bitter. I have tried Ten Ren’s chrysanthemum tea and found it way to sweet. Their combination with Pu-erh is spot on!
Well I’m impressed. A balance of earthy pu-erh, mixed with chrysanthemum that adds a not-quite-oily heft. Energizing and relaxing. Pretty awesome.
