Another tea nobody has reviewed! (Or I’m bad at searching, hard to say.)
I love lime, and cookies, and oolong… how could this tea go wrong? That’s right, it can’t, and didn’t. First off – the base of this tea is AMAZING. It’s a fruity, somewhat floral, creamy oolong, and tastes fresh and high quality. I can taste the base tea despite the strong (delicious) ingredients, and that’s a wonderful thing. It reminds me of Butiki(!!)
The citrus is not your run-of-the-mill lemon balm/citron oolong sort, and instead is clearly limey (there are actual lime pieces! I just ate a steeped one and it was sour and limey!!!) It’s worth noting that it doesn’t taste like typical “lime flavouring” either, and is not overpowering. The citrus comes out best in earlier infusions (I’m on #3 I believe, and it’s only lightly citrus-flavoured now).
Cookie-wise, I’m not so sure… but the tea is creamy and luscious, and that’s good enough for me.
Also, I forgot about the edible vegan glitter. I didn’t shake the package before measuring out tea (ok, I poured it out, I think someone stole my work teaspoon), and definitely didn’t even look in the first infusion to see if there was glitter. Next time.
To sum things up, this was a really tasty creamy lime-citrus oolong tea. I wish I had more; maybe it will come back in the future.

mmm sounds good
It might be too oolongy for you, because it is a green oolong and the oolong flavour is noticeable. Hard to say, though, I was never able to actually pinpoint the flavour you disliked.
haha no worries..you’re making me build shopping carts though… hoping i can resist…stupid dollar.
The glitter is very hard to see – I bought two containers of glitter, one for this tea and one for the Sparkle Pony and after I sprinkled it over the tea, I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t see it very well even though I had the entire batch of tea right in front of me and I had sprinkled the glitter on top of it. But since it IS in there, I needed to mention that it is in there because if someone comes across a glittery flake I didn’t want people to think it wasn’t part of the blend and that somehow unintended glitter ended up in the tea. I won’t be adding glitter to future blends. It’s pretty in the jar but not real evident in the tea.
