Spiced Mandarin Oolong Tea

I absolutely love this tea. I drink it with a little bit of sugar added and it is perfect. I would recommend drinking it earlier in the day as the caffeine can keep you up at night.

I used to be a fan of the bagged version of this tea, so I was rather excited to try the loose leaf version. And honestly, the loose leaf version of this tea blows the bagged out of the water! I'm not the biggest fan of citrus on it's own, but when combined with the Oolong (rather than black tea) and the spices, it's delicious. The orange flavor is just right. Not too weak, not too overpowering.

I find it hardly needs any sweetener, but it's another tea that needs someone to keep a close eye on it while it's brewing. I've noticed it becomes a bit bitter when brewed a little too long.

That aside, it's a great tea for cold afternoons or evenings, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys citrus flavors. It's a great combination of fruity and spicy.

i bought this under a hunch from the Teavana sales person... kudos for the sale but wasnt pleased with the overall flavour or lack of flavour... wouldnt buy this again

This tea is definatly better with sweetener, however not too much. When I would put just a touch too much sweetner in it, it inherited this funky too sweet yet bitter taste that was not very pleasent.

However, I do still like this tea very much. It's citrusy, which I love, but not overly powerful. You just have to be carful about how you prepair it. It just tends to be ficklel.

Typically, I'll use about a tea spoon of German rock Sugar, and steep it about 30 seconds less than the instructions say. This tends to make it less bitter. A very good tea when you find the righ adjustments for you :)

I will deffinatly continue buying it.

I was looking for a replacement for orange/spice tea bags when I stumbled on Teavana. I'll never go back to tea bags again. This tea is warm and citrusy with just enough of the spice to make it interesting. This was my first experience with Teavana and I'm definitely a fan now.

As I am new to loose leaf teas, I have enjoyed all my new Teavana teas A LOT! But I would say this is, by far, my FAVORITE!

I admit that I love anything with an orange flavor, but this tea was above expectations!

First I want to say that in my household we normally stick to the pure teas: black, green and oolong with no added flavors. We haven't found an herbal, mate or other flavored tea that we like, until this one.
My boyfriend really likes this, he loves the citrus and spice mix and would drink it any time of the day. He would like it to be a staple in our tea collection.
As for me, I love the color and aroma of the tea. (Although it does lose most of its color after the first brew)
For myself, I really don't like adding sugar to my teas and you really need to for this kind as it brings out the flavor. It is not something I would drink everyday, but it is nice to break up the usual routine of the pure teas we have daily.

For me this tea is too fruity and far too much citrus. I tried it after breakfast and dinner with desert. It worked best with desert. I was very disappointed. I will not buy it again and will probably give the remainder to someone else.

I went over to my friend's house and she had just gone on a big Teavana shopping excursion. During my visit we drank our way through two pots of this tea.

Truly one of the best teas I have ever had. Smooth, bright, just a little sweet....I loved every second of drinking it. It tastes like sunshine in a mug. I will be buying a bunch of it next time I'm near Teavana.

I love this tea. Its the perfect combination of fruity and spicy. I find it has a great, full body. I do sweeten it with a little honey. I like it better than the Strawberry Rose Champagne Oolong, which I find doesn't have enough body/strength. I love it so much!!
