This tea smells so delicious when you open the package! Even though I associate papaya with summer weather and tropical vibes, this tea has such a warm aroma. It’s totally acceptable as a Fall tea!

This tea reminds me of trail mix. The aroma and flavor have that nutty-fruity flavor combo that you find in a good quality trail mix with the big chunks of dried fruit. I do love a good trail mix!

Not every flavor blends will with rooibos, but this one is perfectly balanced. Rooibos has a mild sweetness and a slight nutty flavor with just a hint of vanilla; all perfect flavors to blend with almond and papaya.

If you haven’t checked out Dollar Tea Club, give them a try. It’s a convenient and inexpensive way to explore the world of tea and try new tea types and flavors. Watch for upcoming reviews on a couple of their other blends!

I am in my late 40's. Born and raised in Houston Texas and have lived in the East Texas Piney Woods for the last 26 Years. I have an amazing husband and two grown boys who have each given me a "grand-dog". I've been drinking tea with my mom since I was around 4 years old and have continued to drink tea daily (usually multiple times) both hot and iced. I order most of my teas online however, if I run across something in a store that I haven't tried, I will definitely buy it. I look for tea EVERYWHERE I go. I love music, movies, and binge watching Real Housewives and my hobbies include crochet, soap making, reading, cooking and other random crafts and of course....I'm a tea hoarder/collector! My top two faves are pu erh and genmaicha, but I've never really met a tea that I disliked.

Lemongrass Oolong / The Tea Club

by skysamurai

In the world of tea and tisane,  there are some ingredients used that are overpowering. One of these is lemongrass. This tea is a perfect example, in taste and aroma, of how careful a tea blender must be in combining their ingredients.

The lemongrass is all that can be smelled, good thing it’s a calming scent.

Whoever blended this tea did a wonderful job. At first I wasn’t impressed All the flavor was lemongrass.

Even the after taste was lemongrass. Don’t get me wrong it’s a gentle flavor that can easily be enjoyed but what I really wanted was to taste the oolong. With a bit more steep time the uniqueness of this tea came forth. It is very apparent that whoever blended this tea has taken a class or five on tea blending. The oolong may be the main ingredient but in this case it aids the lemongrass. The floral, citrus, and tropical notes are subtly amplified.

The only thing I’m not really fond of in this tea is the pineapple pieces. They add a unique tropical tone to the tea but because of this the aftertaste is a bit artificial.

Here’s the scoop!
