Earlier today I had a cup of this HOT and I was going to review it and just say AVERAGE…nothing more to say but average…not memorable. After my lunch I had the iced equivalent…and I must say…that is the way to go! It’s make a nice refreshing ICED Tea. Based on that is my rating.

Steeped for 2.5 min in boiling water. I’m not tasting any of it’s supposedly ‘sweet, fruity character’. It’s got the roasted ‘bakey’ taste (which has a slightly bitter, almost burnt quality to it) but it’s very much a one note tea and the flavour isn’t very developed.

I like the Formosa Oolong from Lavender Basics better than this one.

I steeped this for 5 minutes in boiling water that had been allowed to cool for a few minutes. Lengthening the steeping time just seems to emphasize the slightly over-baked quality this tea has. I think I’ll try for less next time.

Steeped for 4 min in boiling water. Not minding the baked flavour as much but this still isn’t my favorite formosa oolong.
