Heavenly Tea Leaves, Vanilla Rose Oolong


From the website, 

"Loose Leaf Oolong Tea

Oolong is a partially oxidized tea known for its unique shape and bold aroma. Moderately caffeinated and with an intensity somewhere between black and green tea, oolong is a great option for those looking for an invigorating and delicious beverage. Oolong teas go through some of the most complex processing, developed over many centuries, of any tea type. For this reason, they contain some of the most complex, nuanced flavor profiles of any tea: generally floral, toasty, and/or slightly sweet. Heavenly Tea Leaves line of loose leaf oolong teas features traditional oolongs, single-origin oolongs, along with custom flavored varieties like Rose Oolong and Jasmine Oolong, among others."



The leaves are beautiful- they are rolled like a ball.

The aroma is sweet and the vanilla comes through right away.


This a really nice oolong.  I don't get the rose, but the vanilla and oolong play really well together.  There is a sweetness with vanilla, a slight floral note- but not rose and the typical oolong flavor that I am used to.  I love it.
The oolong is a nice rolled leaf, once in the water the leaves unfurl.


I got two really great cups of tea out of one serving.
I made this tea with 185 degree water and I steeped the first cup for 3 minutes and the second for a little over 4 minutes.
