Decent surprise. I got it at the recommendation on here along with the True Blue Oolong. I have been pretty tame in my oolong purchases lately, and figured I’d like this one. The aroma smells like Horchata instantly opening the tin, and waftes heavily of nutty vanilla and cinnamon.
Tasting it, it’s a on the thinner side. Aroma still great, the oolong is a bit overpowered by the cinnamon for me personally, but there’s a definite rice and vanilla note too in a generally nutty profile. The liquor is a little bit more darker yellow/brown than I expected in part from the cinnamon, and the oolong is a little darker than I expected overall, but still on the greener side. Rebrewed faintly.
I do like it, but I’m not sure about rating. I think a little bit of sugar or rice milk/almond milk might make this taste better, but I’m fairly pleased with it.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Nutty, Rice, Thin, Vanilla
I did not expect to like this tea this much.
I saw it when I was stocking up on Vanilla Comoro which serves as the base for my summer “soda” syrup. Superanna loves horchata so I was mainly getting it for her, planning to try one sachet and pass it on to her. This I will do, but I think this will be on a future order of my order.
The main thing I have to say about it is that the cinnamon is perfection for me. This is just the right level, and is pretty much the type and amount I remember being in Heirloom Bartlett Pear. It gives the same warm and cozy feeling.
The toasted rice doesn’t come off as burned popcorn. The oolong is so light it is almost like a white tea base. The vanilla and milk flavors are sooo creamy.
I love this just as it is, but if you really wanted to add milk and sugar (I am usually disappointed when I add anything to tea) I bet it would be good. In fact, I may try it that way ice cold.
I only had one sachet before passing on the tin to Superanna, who loves horchata. She liked it, and said it tasted like cinnamon pull-apart bread made into a beverage.
