Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This was my favorite Teavana product, with the spice mate second (and also no longer available). Please please please bring them back. I went to reorder both, and possibly wanted to tack on some others, but with neither available, I didn't care too much to order. I got a friend to include the Creme Brulee Oolong to try on her order, and it's nowhere near as good :(((

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

I finally found a tea I love and it's been discontinued. I was encouraged to try that Toasted Nut Brulee, but there's no comparison. Not even close.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This is such a delightful tea ... not only is it a wonderfully tasty smooth tea ... it doesn't taste artificially flavored (like the nut brulee - too over done with nut and fruit). This is way more delicate and subtle ... yet gives you a nice burst of energy and peacefulness at the same time. Its so disappointing that its not available. Please bring it back!!! I am savouring my last drops!

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

For me, this tea was phenomenal. The scent is warm and nutty. The candied violet pieces add a sweetness to the tea that really compliments the nuttiness of the pistachios. If you are looking for a warm and malty tea, than Formosa Nut Oolong is perfect for curling up by the fire with on a cold day.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This tea smells absolutely divine in the bag. The candied lavender tastes wonderful (eaten alone) but as a tea, I was very disappointed. Once steeped it didn't smell as good, and it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. This is the 2nd oolong tea I've tried and not liked. I'm not sure I'll try another oolong tea.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

I bought this tea as an introduction to oolong teas, which I had heard are good intermediates between green and black teas. I don't think I'll ever go back to black or green tea again after having this! It was absolutely delightful.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

Although this tea has a very strong, wonderfully full and nutty scent, the flavor is weak in comparison. However, I enjoy this tea very much in the afternoon or evening. Might be good with milk and sweetener (I don't do either, but I can see how it would be delicious).

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

I was told to cut down on my sugar due to high blood pressure and this tea barely needs any to make it a fully satisfying cup. It's sweet, nutty and very aromatic. It smells like a sugar cookie! I find it a very relaxing sipping tea throughout my workday.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

I decided to try this after the Monkey Picked - I love this tea sooo much more! It has the most delicious aroma and flavor - a bit of fruit, a bit of nut topped off with a light floral. It's not over powering at all - just make sure you follow the directions and use only 1 tsp and brew at 195, not 208.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This is "The Greatest Ever" in my book if you couldn't tell. I went up to the store for my weekly tea. This was the one that was out front and it blew my head off. I could picture myself drinking this tea all the time. I got 8 oz of it and went home. When I got there my sis was cutting hair and she fell in love with the smell. I made a batch with sencha and earl grey. I added honey and sugar first on the stove then one by one the teas went in. I must have put in the right combination of teas at the right time at the right temperature with the right amount of everything!! I put it in the fridge over night and the next morning it was like an ocean in my mouth. I drank a whole 20 cups of that stuff. Made it again. and again.. and again.

And thats the story of "the greatest tea ever"

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

Simply my most favorite tea of all time. I love the full nutty flavor, especially with the pistachios pieces in it. ANd I never have to sweeten it because it has those candied violets in it, which give a subtle sweet floral flavor. Over all I love it. Plus I can steep it twice and the flavor is still good. I espcially love it after a meal, because it makes your stomach feel at ease. Kind of pricey, so I only drink it when i really have a craving for it.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This Oolong blend is unique in the sense that it incorporates a powerful nutty taste and aroma. This makes it a perfect accompanionment to any dessert. Do not oversteep and add your favorite sweetener or sugar. "Almond Biscotti" and "ChocoNut Green Tea" are equally perfect almond teas if you prefer black or green respectively. This is the Oolong alternative.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

Hands down my absolute favorite! Flavorful! Nutty and mildly sweet--Formosa Nut oolong it's the spot no matter what I'm craving! Probably more of a fall/winter tea, it's extremely soothing and THE perfect complement with sugar cookies/almond cookies/pound cake--or as a stand alone. This tea is a showoff--what a great/surefire way to introduce tea to anyone who doesn't usually drink it.

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

This tea looks beautiful, smells wonderful, and tastes amazing! It has a nice "marzipan-ish" almond aroma and flavor, balanced with lightly sweet fruit and flower notes. It is absolutely one of the best teas I have ever tasted. Just seeing and smelling the tea makes me feel great, and drinking it puts me in "teavana" (tea heaven). I rate this tea very highly!

Comments about Teavana Formosa Nut Oolong® Tea:

I was just introduced to this tea at a teavana store. It was recommended to blend with "spice of life" white tea. What a great combination! Great to drink anytime and also great for weightloss. This oolong adds just enough flavor to the white tea as to not overpower it.
