And when you are making your selections, why not try Orange Blossom Oolong for a fabulous iced tea? Check out my podcast review, or check out my written review below:
Name: Orange Blossom Oolong
Brand: Tea Gschwendner
Type: Oolong, flavored
Form: Loose Leaf
Cost: $4.90 for 50 grams (quantity discounts available)
Review: Make no mistake: This is not an "orange flavored" tea. Instead, it's an "orange blossom flavored" tea, a distinction that you will notice immediately upon smelling the dry leaf. This is a dark oolong blended with orange blossoms and flavoring, and its floral notes are unmistakable.
When the tea is infused to a lovely light/medium amber, the nose deepens: The floral nose dominates, along with some orange, plus a hint of spice. The tea is not sweet, cloying, or even citrusy: The orange blossoms add refinement to the tea, and make it quite comforting to drink.
I will confess, however, to prefering this tea iced. In my experience, floral flavors tend to be at their best when consumed at a cooler temperature, and the orange blossom really "blooms" when this tea is iced. Super refreshing: Serve it on its own, or perhaps with a very plain dessert such as pound cake or shortbread cookies.
Tips: This tea is tasty hot, but make it iced for a truly refreshing treat that showcases its floral notes.
