Fleury Doux Champagne Tea from Art of Tea – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Fleury Doux Champagne is an organic white peony and ceylon black tea blend with rose petals and muscatel grape flavor. This fancy tea blend is sold by Art of Tea, US tea seller. This is one of those tea blends I couldn’t pass up. Something about mixing teas, like white + black or green + black I find fun to try. The teas combined are on different levels, requiring different treatments, how do they make the blend work without it being over steeped? Why do they need to add the second tea? Ah, tea blender fun that I’m happy to… Continue reading, hoot!

  By ,

Turtle Cheesecake Black tea is a chocolate and pecan blend from 52 Teas / Zoomdweebies, an online seller of nerdy and unique teas. Turtle Cheesecake Black tea was Tea of the Week for September 2nd, 2013.

I haven’t had turtles on cheesecake or tea, so I when this tea popped up for sale, I bought it immediately. Turtle Cheesecake Black tea also attracted a couple amigurumi turtles to help out with the… Continue reading, hoot!

Pineapple Cilantro Cream White Tea from Butiki Teas – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Pineapple Cilantro Cream is a Bai Mu Dan white tea blend. This unique tea is made by Butiki Teas, US online seller of loose leaf teas. Hmm. I do like pineapple, but cilantro? I do buy cilantro often, but mostly as a vegetable offering for my bunny. Cilantro in tea? Odd, but Oolong Owl is always up for a tea adventure! Butiki Teas does really good blends – but also their Flowery Pineapple Oolong is exceptionally delicious. I figured Pineapple Cilantro Cream White tea should be good as well. Mini Green Owl has joined us for this tea review. I really need to make… Continue reading, hoot!

  By ,

Candy Corn  Tea is a black tea blend flavored to taste like halloween candy corn. This unique blend is made by 52 Teas / Zoomdweebies, online seller of loose leaf teas. Oooooh a candy corn tea! NICE! This tea idea was posted on Steepster and I totally supported it. I do like candy corn, especially if it is slightly soft in texture. Halloween is also one of my favorite holidays. Sadly, I’m not doing anything for this halloween as I got a vacation coming up I was planning on buying some candy corn to accent the photos in this review, but I crocheted one… Continue reading, hoot!

  By ,

Goji Pop is a herbal tea blend of apple, goji berries, hibiscus, roships, and honeydew. This caffeine free tea is from DAVIDsTea. Goji Pop is an Oolong Owl favorite.

Choco-Honeyberry tea from Steep City Teas – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Choco-Honeyberry is a black and blend that has rooibos, honeybush, honey pollen, chocolate pieces, marigolds, and safflowers. This unique blend is made by Steep City Teas. When Steep City Teas came out with Choco-Honeyberry I was intrigued. This blend is very unique with the use of honey pollen, chocolate and berry flavors. Bee pollen tea. I had a weird experience with bee pollen tea. I was at a chinese restaurant and I was sick. I was served a cup of tea that had a big fat bee floating in the middle. Actually tasted pretty sweet and interesting but was scary to… Continue reading, hoot!

Sweet Roasted Chestnuts Black Tea from Creha Tea via Yunomi.us – Tea Review

  By ,

Sweet Roasted Chestnuts Flavored Black Tea is a Japanese black tea with chestnut flavoring. This tea is a Creha Tea that I purchased from Yunomi.us. I’m sure when we think of Japanese teas we think of green teas. It’s really cool to see a Japanese tea seller like Yunomi.us carry some Japanese blacks teas as well as oolongs. It is really neat to taste the difference of these teas compared to the typical teas that are more commonly from Africa, China or Taiwan. If you wanna know what I mean, check out my review of a Japanese Pu’er. Sweet Roasted… Continue reading, hoot!
