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!

Rhubarb and Cream Tea from Whittard of Chelsea – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Rhubarb and Cream Black Tea is a loose leaf black tea blend from Whittard of Chelsea. Where has the love for rhubarb gone? Maybe I’m from the wrong generation or in the wrong area of the US. My deep freeze is FULL of rhubarb. My husband went crazy last year with the lack of rhubarb pies because during off season we couldn’t find frozen rhubarb. This year every time we saw good looking fresh rhubarb we bought it and stashed it in the freezer. Oddly, every time I’m hauling large bags bursting with rhubarb I’ll get asked “what is that?” “How do… Continue reading, hoot!

This tea is part of Simple Loose Leaf‘s huge line up for their tea subscription plan. Tea Owls – Simple Loose Leaf! This place is brilliant!

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.

Actually tasted pretty sweet and interesting but was scary to… Continue reading, hoot!

Plum Oolong from New Mexico Tea Company – Tea Review

  By ,

Plum Oolong is a fruit enhanced wuyi oolong blend. This tea is from New Mexico Tea Company. I do love my dark oolongs and I was pleasantly surprised to see a roasty oolong used in a fruit blend. More often I see green oolong blends as the buttery and floral elements make a great base for fruit. However, I love variety! By the way, love the 2oz packaging  of New Mexico Tea Company teas. They have neat photos or artwork with each tea which I’m a sucker for. I’m slightly worried this Plum Oolong will be tart. I’ve tried a few plum teas, but… Continue reading, hoot!
