Orange Glam from Steep City Teas – Tea Review

  By ,

Orange Glam is a green tea accented with orange peel and lily blossoms.  The tea is from Steep City Teas. Blarg, I really want pu’er but it’s FREAKING HOT outside. It’s the end of August, it’s Southern California, and ewww so hot!!! Hot tea is not appealing right now, however the Oolong Owl must drink something!

With Open Eyes is a Hangzhou Dragon Well flavored with strawberry, ginger and toffee. This tea is from Butiki Teas! Oooh a dragon well green tea blend! You don’t see those too often!

  By ,

Eight Treasures Yabao is a blend of yunnan green jasmine, silver buds yabao pu’er, goji berry, marigold, vanilla bean, honeysuckle, rose and elderberry. This unique tea is from Verdant Tea.

It smells like a musky mountain spice.… Continue reading, hoot!
