Love, love, love this iced!! When I opened the bag, it smelled like amaretto... Knew from that instant that I would be hooked.
If you are a fan of amaretto, try this. Lots of similar notes to it,
Savory almond with Taiwan oolong tea. Smooth, nutty aroma, full and rounded body, sweet marzipan flavor.

Actually the best tea I've ever had ever. No need to add sugar to this sweet treat, it's yummy without it.
The way the almond and the oolong blends in this tea is really amazing. I've never totally been sold on the flavor of oolong, but it perfectly compliments the almond in this. It really tastes marzipan-y, as the descriptions states, and you really get the flavor of almond, but the mixture of it with the oolong tea itself makes it taste almost sweet. A really interesting and enjoyable flavor.
Drinking it right now. The flovor is not subtle but thats the way I like it. Very almond-y but the oolong comes through.
This. Smells. INCREDIBLE.
It's a lot like almond poppy seed bread. I think I probably could have let it steep a little longer than 2 minutes, though, to bring out more flavour. But this will definitely be my new go-to for something simple but delicious. Love it!! ^^
I'm a huge fan of anything almond and this tea does not disappoint! Tastes a bit like warm cookies, but without overpowering the flavor of the oolong - super delicious!
Almonds and tea, great combination. I like my tea very strong. However, this one is strong with minimum time of 3 minutes.
This is pretty good. I'm not very fond of oolong usually but the almond helps to sweeten it and give a nice flavour. Very soothing.
I love everything about this tea. The sweetness and the almond smell and flavor. Hands down one of my favorites.
This tea deserves a great rating. It tastes like a cup of almonds, with a mellow sweetness. However, as with others, it is a tea you must be in the mood for.
I'm not a huge oolong fan but if I had nothing else this stuff would make me happy
Decent flavored oolong, but did not enjoy as much as I thought I would.
It smells like an almond cookie when you open the bag, but once you brew it, it mellows out. Pairs well with biscotti or graham crackers for tea time.
While this has to be something I am in the mood for, I love the sweetness of this tea. It really does taste like dessert in a cup. I also recommend this tea for blending as it works well with others :)
If you are someone who has a sweet tooth like I do, you will love this oolong. The almond flavor is perfect!
This was the first oolong tea I've tried.So maybe I'm not giving it enough credit. But it was a bit more mellow than I was expecting. After getting use to it, it has a nice almond after taste. It's not something I would drink everyday, but if I wanted something to mellow me out this would be the tea I'd drink.
Woah. Opening this bag is certainly an experience. A punch in the face is right. However, a lot of the almond flavor doesn't really translate to the tea. I may need to experiment more with this tea...
this is my fav to drink in the morning since it is not decaf. it is like driking a warm almond biscotti! cannot live without it!
The aroma reminds me of cookies. The flavor is smooth and the oolong adds to the nuttiness of the tea. MmMmMMMMmm
I got this as a mistake. (Tried to order on phone and pushed wrong button). Best mistake ever!!!
The almond flavoring is way too strong for me. The oolong gets lost.
The best of the flavored oolongs in my opinion. The smell out of the bag is a bit much. Brewed however, it yeilds a nice calming brew that isn't an overpowering oolong or flavored tea. It's right in the middle. Does it rate with fujian rain? Heck no! But it's still good and forgiving. A little sweetener brings out more almond flavor.
This was a bit bitter for my taste, not sure how to change the 'taste'.
The sweet almond matches extremely well with the roasted grassy tones of the oolong. The initial scent of the loose tea was overwhelmingly that of almond extract, but it mellows considerably once brewed, adding a subtle hint of marzipan to the dark golden liquor.
A New favorite black tea for me! The sent of almond was beautiful, the flavor is very delicate and like eating a bit of marzipan with my tea. GREAT with cream. Wow.
The almond flavor is more the artificial almond flavoring you would get from adding almond extract rather than the true nuttiness of fresh almonds. Like many desert teas I have tried, the flavor comes out best after letting the tea cool and with the addition of rock sugar.
Currently my absolute favorite tea! The almond flavor doesn't taste artificial at all, and a good size sip has a number of flavor notes throughout.
Love it! I have a weakness for oolong tea and almond is my favourite. So there was no question that I'd love it. Smells lovely in the bag, add a hint of milk and it is some of the best tea.
The almond flavor wasn't as strong as I was hoping for.
The almond flavor is subtle. Makes a delicious cup of tea for starting the workday.
The tea smells like opening a thing of almond extract, but when brewed mellows out to a smooth tea and almond combination. My favorite way to start the morning.
It has a sweet almond flavor to it but lacks a powerful oolong base. It is okay on the second steep as well.
You definitely get what you order. the almond scent and flavor in this tea is very strong. It can be too much if you're not careful with amount and steep time. Still, if you're a fan of the flavor, this tea is definitely for you.
Love it! We first got this tea as a free sampler. We're very happy with it.
I almost didn't like this at first, but it really grew on my after the second try. Makes a good after dinner tea.
I adore oolong teas so finding one with almond was ridiculously exciting. Opening the pouch feels a little like being punched in the nose with a bar of marzipan, but the tea itself is lovely, strong without being overwhelming and comfortingly nutty. Still smells of marzipan, but in a complimentary way rather than the overbearing smell of the unbrewed tea.
I'd say it's ok. Flavored teas never my favorite so not the best person to rate this one.
Very strong smell of almond in the bag, and you can quite clearly taste it in the tea. While I enjoy it by itself, I think I will try it with some honey and milk to make it more like dessert.
Delicious! A bit light for regular milk, but almond milk makes it into something really special. Great for breakfast.
This flavored oolong has a nice touch of almond with a nice bold tea base.
Such a strong almond flavor. Smells of marzipan, hence is nice lightly sweetened with a bit of honey. I can get 3 nice steeps out of this one.
This is a good tea to drink with some cookies or any dessert really.
The almond oolong tea does and excellent job of evoking the taste of almonds in tea.
This tea was fantastic. It was pleasantly smooth and sweet.
This tea is fantastic. When you open up the bag, the smell of almond is very intense and almost overwhelming. (It reminded me a little bit of rubber cement, but not in a bad way, if that makes sense.) The tea itself is very pleasantly almondy -- the taste is pretty strong, but never too much, and goes well with the oolong base.
The peachy sweetness of the oolong is the perfect counterpoint to the almond flavor, making it sweet, but nutty and natural at the same time. I'm not picking up any cherry in my almond, which is sometimes a problem. Wonderful cuppa!
I'm probably being picky, but I found the smell to be overwhelming. Too musky and gag inducing. It only got worse as the tea seeped. Maybe oolong just isn't my thing. I could hardly taste it.
The almond scent of this blend is soooo good! When brewed, the almond taste is mild, perhaps a little too mild for my tastes, but still very good. No bitter aftertaste.
That was a good surprise, I was a bit skeptical, but liked it in the end.
The almond smells wonderful in the package. I was afraid it would overpower the tea, but it doesn't. The almond flavor is mild and complements the oolong perfectly.
