Where was the oolong? Didn’t even see tea in the mix until after it had steeped.
Being my first time with this tea, I made it with my usual half water/half 1% milk and a teaspoon of sugar. WHOA, way too sweet. I’m inexperienced with carob, and I guess that must have added some sweet? Also, the fake cinnamon flavor is more than too sweet and a bit overwhelming. This tastes like lots of other masala chais, just with fake cinnamon added.
How do they charge $12 for this? Glad I got it for free, since I wouldn’t buy it. Will try this with minimal sugar, and perhaps less milk next time. Strange brew.

I often feel that way about teavana oolongs….that there is not any actual tea! Other steepsterites have noticed this as well…
Echoing Ellyn’s sentiments on Teavana’s oolongs. ;; The tea’s more of an accessory ingredient in their oolong blends, it seems?
It certainly seems like it. Makes one wonder why they waste putting oolong in the “tea” at all. Maybe to crank up the price? It’s a mystery!
