Fruit Oolong Blend by Zhi Tea

USDA Organic . We invite you to try our spectacular Zhi House Blend Orange Blossom Oolong, crafted specifically to enhance the intrinsic beauty and flavor of our organic Shui Xian Oolong loose leaf tea. Organic orange peel and Calendula marigold petals, blended to exacting standards, combine to make a complex, slightly citrus-y cup with distinct floral notes. We invite you to try our Zhi House Blend Orange Blossom Oolong, crafted specifically to enhance the intrinsic beauty and flavor of our organic Shui Xian Oolong loose leaf tea. Organic orange peel and Calendula marigold petals combine to make a complex, slightly citrus Orange Blossom with distinct floral notes.

Our Shui Xian base is a smooth and round accompaniment in this blend. Slightly less intense and than our Wu Yi oolong, the Shui Xian or Water Fairy has a nice floral undertone to it that really gives the orange notes a balance in the mid-range but doesn’t distract or overpower.

The Orange Blossom tea has a nice warming and uplifting quality to it. Enjoy the taste of orange in this Orange Blossom without the citric acid content to bother your stomach or palate. Mild, yet very sexy, this Organic Orange Blossom is not only a conversation starter, it is a conversation enhancer! Expect surprises whenever you serve Orange Blossom.

In the second steeping I’m feeling more of the smokey-peppery ness of the Oolong coming through, along with some of the floral on the finish. The first steeping I feel had more of the citrus. Overall a very smooth and satisfying cup.

Definitely a very mild and sexy tea, as they say in the description. Once brewed the orange peel comes off in the scent and the taste is loaded with marigold plus hints of citrus. The marigold almost gives it a touch of smokiness too IMO, or perhaps I just oversteeped? Overall, a very pleasant cup – looking forward to steep #2 and 3.

mmm smokey citrus-yness

Steep 2 – interesting, I’m picking up sort of a salt & pepper scent that I think might be coming from the orange peel. The flavor is MUCH more citrus-y and less floral-y this time around. And the smokiness from the 1st steep is almost non-existent, but seems to highlight the marigold more. Very nice 2nd cup!
