My desire for warmer weather was subtly fulfilled this week with the release of Teavana’s spring teas collection. New flavors include Jeju Island Green Tea from Korea, the citrusy Strawberry Grapefruit Xue Long Green Tea, the sweet-smelling Marshmallow Macaron Herbal tea and Grape Wulong Oolong. While all of the flavors were enticing, I decided to try the grape oolong, because of its sweet Jolly Rancher-like aroma, and I was not disappointed.
To prepare this tea, I added about 1 teaspoon of the loose leaves into my glass infuser mug, and about half a teaspoon German Rock Sugar to the blend, to accentuate the grape flavor. After boiling water, I let it sit in the tea kettle for a few minutes before pouring it over the tea. As suggested, I steeped the tea for 3 minutes. Read the full review on Life’s a Cup of Tea.
