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 :)

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.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
I go to the Teavana store almost every day on my break at work, and have the chance to try a lot of the different teas. This one really stood out, especially as one of the less expensive teas. When I first tried it, the smell was like some familiar candy that I couldn't quite place, and the flavor of the tea itself was so wonderful that I ended up buying a half pound of the leaves. My only warning is that it gets very bitter very quickly if you steep it too long (I only had to make that mistake once). This was so good that even my mother, whose interest in tea usually begins and ends at southern iced tea, said she loved it.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
Overall it's a pretty good tea. The hints of cinnamon do pop, and while it is fruity in taste, not specifically papaya.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
This tea has the potential to be great but its just too weak. I saw other customer reviews saying this before I purchased it but I still wanted to try it as I love papaya and couldn't wait to see how the coconut would come through with the papaya. It actually creates a great combination; the flavor simply isn't rich enough for me to be able to truly enjoy it. I even tried doubling the amounts and adding extra rock sugar to strengthen the flavor as another reviewer suggested and still the flavor just doesn't reach the strength I think it should. But we all know how subjective ones take on a tea can be, so if you like papaya and coconut give it a try and see if you like it.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
Smells like bourbon, tastes like spicy fruit with a hint pure oolong taste. A little vegetal, but very satisfying.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
I was a coffee addict that has switched to tea. I mostly drink black tea but have drank more oolongs these days. This may be my new favorite, I am just trying it for the first time and I really like it. I did sweeten it a little but I used to drink all tea w/ out sweetend and realized a little sweetener really brings out the flavor!

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
This was my first non-black tea purchase and it was a lark, total spur-of-the-moment. I drink exclusively Earl Grey but got sucked in by the enthusiastic clerks at the Teavana store in Chicago. I am very nicely surprised to find a fruity, healthy tea that I enjoy. I will buy more oolongs in the future.

Comments about Teavana Kamiya Papaya Oolong Tea:
Seeing as I stopped drinking soda around a year ago, I drink tea everyday...all day! I love this tea for it's sweet aroma and a bit of spice. But I did notice that once seeped, it is not as sweet as you might think. As far as it being an appetite suppressant, I am sold! Love this tea any time of the day!
