I needed a little caffeine to get me past the afternoon slump so, I grabbed this oolong blend by Friday Afternoon Tea. This blend is part of their Zodiac collection.
The base of this blend is one of my absolute favorite teas: milky oolong. Combined with marigold flowers and huge apple chunks, the flavor kind of reminds me of green apple Jolly Ranchers (on a much milder level, of course) with a bit of a creamy finish. If you're familiar with milky oolong, you know what I'm talking about: that natural creaminess and silky mouthfeel...mmmm.
What I love about this blend is that the added ingredients are just enough to add a hint of flavor and aroma without taking away from the beauty of the milky oolong. I normally drink my milky oolong plain; no added flavors or sweeteners, but I gotta tell ya, a tiny bit of honey gave this just the right amount of sweetness to enhance the oolong AND the apple notes.
This tea can also be steeped multiple times so, guess who's taking a second serving on the ride home today?!?!
More to come from this brand soon. Find this blend, their other zodiac blends and lots of other fun themed teas on their site.
