Taster’s Review:
I reviewed this tea previously, and I think I like it now just as much as I liked it then, if not more! It’s so tasty! The sweet, nutty taste of almond melds so nicely with the natural fruit notes of the Oolong.
The Oolong base is a dark Se Chung Oolong – most Se Chung Oolong teas tend to be on the greener side, but this Se Chung looks and tastes as though it’s been charcoal fired because of its distinct smoky note. The smoky note is not an overwhelming one, but it’s there. I enjoy how the smoky undertones unite with the flavor of the almond – almost as if they were made for one another.
The almond flavor is sweet and nutty, but I can also taste a subtle bitter almond taste as well. Overall a very pleasant cup of tea.

Tasters Review:
Last week I decided to visit my local Herb Store…they have a wonderful BULK Section there. LOTS of Spices and now more Loose Leaf Tea than before! They buy from Frontier Co-Op. I noticed a ‘new tea in town’. It was this Cranberry Orange Black Tea from Frontier Co-Op. So I decided to buy some of it to try it out.
I have tried several Frontier Co-Op Teas before. In the past I have found they sometimes lack creativity BUT they offer good quality teas and most of them organic. I really love the fact I can walk in and say “Can I have a cups-worth” or “a dollars worth” and walk away a happy camper…or in this case a happy tea drinker.
This is what I did this time around…I got about a cups-worth. I just I should specify…a measuring cup’s worth of a cup not just a teacup size-worth, that is.
This is a solid Black Tea with lovely Cranberry and Orange Flavors. I would say mostly Cranberry with hints of Orange. I really appreciate the fact that it’s still a true black tea with those flavors and it’s not all about the flavors and no black tea taste. So far, to date, this is probably one of my favorite teas from Frontier. Check them out if you can!
