I absolutely love this tea. Since you can steep this tea more than once I heat water to around 175 and put 2T of tea in the Giant Dancing Leaf glass tea pot--the 33oz one--and fill to the top with the semi-hot water. I then put it in the refrigerator to brew. The next day I use what I want out (heating it in the microwave) I then refill the glass tea pot with ~175 degree water to the top of the glass tea pot and put in the refrigerator again. I get a whole week's worth out of the tea doing it this way. The tea never gets bitter as I am cold brewing it. I also use the tea thermos with strainer by heating up the refrigerated brewed tea (to drinking temperature) and put it in the thermos. Then if I want the tea a little stronger I put some of the unfurled tea leaves from the glass tea pot in the strainer made for thermos, put the cover on tightly and turn it over and stand it upright so there is more tea that comes in contact with the tea in the strainer. I let that sit for a minute or two and then when it's ready to drink I just put the tea leaves from the strainer back into the glass pot to reuse. I get a whole week's worth of drinks out of just 2T of tea and it never gets bitter because I never use water than gets hot enough to make it bitter. Sounds like alot of work but once you get the system down it goes smoothly--and since this is expensive tea it makes goes a long way. I start the whole process on Sunday after noon and use the tea until the following Sunday morning. Then Sunday afternoon I start the next week's brewing process all over again. I also use this process for other teas--and I get multiple steeps out of them as I never use water that is hot enough to make them bitter.

I liked this tea before the berries were added in. It used to just contain oolong tea leaves with a hint of raspberry that was perfect and very floral. Now, the oolong is drowning in dried berries, so the oolong flavor seems a lot weaker. :( Sorry, Teavana, but this is one case where I think the old style was better!

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
I read reviews where people didn't like all the berries... What berries? I didn't see any, which is a good thing! This tea has a fresh taste to it, but is slightly sweet with a berry aroma. No berries... Which, again, is good for me! This tea reminds me of the monkey picked oolong as well. You can infuse this multiple times, which gives you a real bang for your buck, for certain! If you buy this oolong, you will not be disappointed.

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
I drink this tea almost every day after lunch and dinner. I love the smoothness of it, the airiness in it, the body and especially that it's great for digestion. While I couldn't recognize the strawberry, I could definitely taste the lightness of raspberry in it. I think the raspberry is what overpowered the strawberry. Either way, it was just great. The only thing I don't like about it is the after AFTER taste of it a little. It gets a little weak and gets a bit vegetal if you really breathe it in. But overall, it is an excellent tea :) . Reminds me of when I was little and went to a Chinese restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. So I guess you could say it brings back memories :) .

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
This fruit flavored tea changes it's taste with subsequent steeping. The first brew is very strong with the raspberry and fruit flavors and even comes out a very pretty shade of red. The second and third steep gradually loses it's fruit flavor and becomes a very tasty oolong with only light hints of the fruit remaining. But every time it is flavorful and delicious.

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
This pretty much tastes like Monkey-Picked Oolong. The raspberries don't make too much of a difference in flavor but because there's a good amount of filler fruit, it's substantially less pricey than the MPO, with all the same tea leaves, health benefits, and similar flavor. I love this as a mixer and it's definitely reusable!

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
I love this tea! I think it's great on it's own, but it's so versatile with mixing with other teas. I like it with Youthberry, Peachberry Jasmine Sutra, Strawberry Paraiso and Huang Shan Mao Feng. It is great hot or iced. I like that I can taste the oolong but it has a berry kick to it. Overall, I love it. Bravo!

I was expecting it to have more of a fruity, full bodied taste, but it is kind of tasteless and boring. I was disappointed.

Comments about Teavana Six Summits Oolong® Tea:
This is my first Oolong, I gave it 4 stars due to the fact that it has sooo many berries but so light a berry taste. It smells more berry than it tastes, so it is kind of deceiving. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy its not artificially flavored to taste more berry, maybe it needs a more flavor friendly berry substituted. I really enjoy this tea, I will steep down to the last leaf! I'am very happy that there is no Hibiscus in this blend, Hibiscus can be tart and requires too much sweetener to bring out the flavor. So if you want a subtle fruity, slightly sweet, palate pleasing Oolong, this is the one for you! This Oolong is for the purist who wants just a hint of fruit. (I always follow temperature and steeping instructions)
