This is a treat!!!!
Remember my liking to the Almond Cookie (black) Teas…YUM! Well, this is almost the Oolong equivalent!

A hearty almond taste – the verge of peanut butter-or almond butter, more – so. Lovely Oolong…somewhat woodsy. A nice floral-sweet undertone. The creamy vanilla! A delight!

This is very good cold too! A little more flat but tasty regardless. BOTH hot and cold are good – just noticeably different.

Boston Tea, at least those varieties I’ve tried, is consistently good. This one would be a good afternoon chat-and-tea-party selection:

Changing up the morning routine is good for your moldering brain, so I hear, so I closed my eyes and grabbed a random packet this morning. This one won the morning lottery. It doesn’t have boot-you-out-the-door strength (few ooolongs do), but is sweet and delicate; has the personality of a little imported tea biscuit.

I am consistently impressed by the quality of the Boston Teas I’ve tried…not a zonker yet.

Sweet. Gentle. Flavor-accurate. You need to have this. You need to have this with cookies.

Nice nutty afternoon cuppa. All the flavors are very subtle and understated; I get a lot more almond than I do vanilla. But it’s not a bitter almond (as in Adagio, which I never could get quite right.)
