LOVE this!!!!
This has the lil pearls I have seen in some Cherry Blossom Green Teas and I think they are lovely! The aroma is excellent! The Oolong Leaves are screaming multiple infusions! I will put that to the test! For the first infusion this is a highly flavored oolong. The strawberry tastes are wonderful! They are sweet without ANY trace of sour or bitterness. Very sweet and very nice! This is awesome hot or cold!
I’m totally diggin’ Butiki Teas Flavored Oolongs! So far every tea/tisane I have had of theirs is wonderful! I really like this company!!!
Ah…refreshing!
I’m just starting to try oolong teas and I’m not so sure about them so far… But wow, this sounds great! Strawberry = yum! :-)
Try some Ali Shan! Those are great unflavored ones too! But if you like flavors this company has some great flavored Oolongs!!! Norbu also has some excellent Oolongs, too!
Thanks! I’ll have to check those out sometime! The ones I’ve tried so far have been really… strong. Maybe it’s the smell? I don’t know. I really like the idea of oolongs though and a lot of people rave about them, so I will definitely put one of the flavored ones on my list to try.
What’s a good “mellow” oolong to start with? Nothing super strong and vegetal I’m thinking.
For smooth or mellow Oolongs…try Ali Shans! LOVE those!
If you want…in about a month or so…I could try and send you a mystery package with a bunch of Oolong Samples…let me know if you are interested! I can’t send them right away but in the near future I could!

Not sure if you saw the top Oolongs on here – there are some good ones there esp the following that I found more smooth or mellow…
Most Milk Oolongs or Ali Shans as well as Tie Guan Yins, Pouchongs, too!!! Formosa Oolongs!
Gotta second the tie guan yin vote
You’ve convinced me. I made an order for lychee oolong and strawberry oolong. My wallet is crying but I’m happy! :)
AWESOME!

Drinking to get the after taste of the last tea out of my mouth! This did the trick! Also…full review:

I have been looking for a Mint Oolong for a LONG time like this one! Strong Mint and plump Oolong…plain and simple…well, not really plain…but simple. It’s the classic case of K>I>S>S> and it works! If you are like me and LOVE mint you will probably like this one! The mint is intense but that is EXACTLY what I was looking for being a MINT LOVER and all. Because there are not many Mint Oolongs on Steepster or many that I have tried or are readily available I am rating this high…not only for those reasons but because I DO like this very much! Very refreshing, very mint, very tasty!
I think Stacy told me she reblended this one. My previous notes were based on the Cookie version. The review below is based on the new Indulgence. (I wish she still offered them both!)
Indulgence…first impressions…
I’ve never tried an Almond flavored black quite like this and for that I am VERY greatful!
The almond slivers are generous. The vanilla is wonderful! The cinnamon is in the background but play a nice role! This has a neat floral hint to it too! And it’s fairly creamy as well! I REALLY like this.
It is drastically different from the cookie version
This one has been re-blended. I am no longer using artificial flavorings but I could always use a different tea base for custom orders.
That sounds like a delicious tea!
Stacy – I LOVE them both! :) Glad this re-blend is natural and not artificial! That’s always a PLUS :)
Still AMAZING!
Check it out tho…
interesting little test I did with it :)

Whoa, that sounds like a wonderful addition!
Did you ever try SpecialTeas Almond Cookie before they closed their doors? They were one of my Favorite tea companies.
Yes…that tea was really great too!
I’ve never tried STeas Almond Cookie, but maybe I’ll give this one a try sometime. :)
This is wonderful!!! The Almond is VERY intense and the Citrus is the secondary flavor here. There seems to be a nice pepper hint to it as well! With everything together this DOES smell like an almond cookie! It’s a FAB aroma! If this isn’t my first fave Almond Cookie Tea it would be my 2nd…either way…LOVE IT!
I’ve been a little preoccupied with my new Bamboo Pen & Touch today but I have been drinking tea! This one I just got today and it’s yummy and different! Here’s why…when I first opened the package of this one it smelled a little like Chinese Food! When I infused the aroma morphed into a malty-peppery black type tea. The taste is mildly peppery and malty and a nice yunnan! This is also great iced!
I didn’t know you were an artist. May I inquire what you drew?
Well, I don’t draw, really, but I like paper crafts! I have been doing some more hybrid stuff which incorporates both paper and digital paper, images, and clipart along with traditional paper supplies, etc. This intrigued me tho!
