Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

This tea is at its BEST when in the combination of Sweet Fruit Garden/Kamiya Papaya Oolong. But if you want to have these teas in a drink that has no word that you could ever explain. Just add 2oz.-4oz. of Mandura ........ You are having any health issues this drink has done wonder for those who have tried it.

This tea is very light and had a cinnamon finish I thought. I just bought and am anxious to rebrew three or four times to see the difference.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

This tea is simply yummy- it has both fruity and spicy flavors that blend very well. I drink this tea at work mid-morning to help curb my appetite while waiting for lunch, which is what oolong is supposed to be good for. I would recommend this tea to anyone, tea drinker or not. I simply did not give it 5 stars because I like the utopian jewel better.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I bought this oolong for the health benefits and weight lost effects. What a surprise my first sip was. I steeped it 4 more times and it was just as good on the 4th glass as it was the first. I do not care for the "tea taste" and this did not have it..i went back to my local stoe the next day to see if they suggested a blend with it.. but this is great all by itself. You won't be dissappointed.

I got this blended with Sweet Fruit Garden, and it's awesome. Makes the BEST iced tea. My husband even likes it, and he normally doesn't like anything but generic unsweetened tea. He LOVES this.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I wasn't excited about this tea the first time I tried it. The fruit and citrus overpowered the Oolong. I didn't even want to try the 3rd and 4th steep (which is usually when the Oolong starts to open up and generally considered the best brews). It was OK at most and I didn't plan on buying again. However, my second brew, I decided to try the 3rd & 4th steep. To my surprise! The herbal citrus, fruit notes tone down and the smooth citrus of the Oolong unravels. The slight spice, the smooth sweetness & citrus tastes wonderful with just a little rock sugar. I am quite pleased and drink it regularly now :)

This is one of the best teas I've tried.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I just went to the Avenue's mall in Jax, FL and tasted this tea. Frankly, I wanted to bUy them all. This tea was exceptional, it curbed my appetite for several hours - which is a major feat for me. I liked it so much I asked my hubby to get me the starter kit for our 20 year anniversary next month (May 2008) and he said he will.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I love this tea on ice, it is especially refreshing and very soothing. I dont drink colas, or artificial drinks and so I am always short on variety over summer. The Kamiya papaya makes for a nice alternative to lemonade.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I tried this tea originally because I got Utopian Jewel and loved it, but wanted to expand my horizons. I've just found this tea TOO fruity for me. I've tried different steeping times to bring out the tea flavor, and I've found that it ends up too weak or bitter. It's not a bad tea, but it's not the right fit for me.

My favorite product, so far....

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

The smell of this tea is amazing but once you try it the taste is definately not as appealing. I do not add any sugar or milk to my tea so it is too weak for my tastes. Its not bad but I probably will not order this tea again.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

I am a first time buyer of Teavana and was in search of a good Oolong and Mate', for their obvious health benefits. I enjoyed the aroma of the tea, smells like you can eat it. I would recommend steeping longer than three min, since it has such a light tastes to it, however the aroma is great.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:

This tea is very good, but I gave it 4 out of 5 because the true flavor of tea is too subtle. I'm afraid the fruity and floral flavors take away from the tea taste a bit. I was surprised to see the rose buds in teh tea - that was a nice touch. Overall, it is a good tasting tea, just maybe too fruity.
