There’s a New Oolong in Town

I really wish I was a DAVIDsTEA spokesperson! Now that would be a job for me!

Now that spring is in the air, there’s new teas to try, too!

Every season DAVIDsTEA launches a new line of teas. This month they launched their new spring collection and it’s amazing! The new spring collection includes the following teas:

- Coconut Oolong

- Copabanana

- Daydreamer

- Pom Tango

- Honeydew Mate

Obviously I bought the entire collection when it hit stores. How could I not? That wouldn’t be very Meg of me would it?

All of the teas included within this collection are to die for and that says a lot because fruit teas aren’t always my favourite; however, these all blew me away.

Copabanana is a tea brought back from two years ago and I loved it back then and Daydreamer is a tea from last year – and it just so happens that it was my favourite tea from last year’s spring collection!? – thus, this collection is one of their best!

Today I’ll be reviewing the Coconut Oolong as it is my favourite of the entire collection, but I plan to write a review for all five teas in future posts.

As I said, this tea is my personal favourite from the 2013 Spring Collection. I knew I’d love it since I’m a fan of coconut and all other oolong teas, but I didn’t know it’d be this amazing.

This tea blend features:

- Pao Zhong oolong tea

- Coconut flakes

- Artificial coconut flavour

Simple! Just the way I like it

The smell of this tea is so comforting. A strong creamy coconut scent from when you open the package to the time it’s done steeping.

I’ve been drinking this tea from the time I wake up all the way through to mid afternoon. The caffeine content is considered to be a “medium” on the caffeine scale, so even if I drink it in the evening I’m still able to sleep.

In order to taste the coconut best (and not too much of the leaves), I have been steeping my leaves for about 3 minutes. I wouldn’t allow this tea to steep any longer than 5 minutes, though, or else it may get a little bitter and the coconut flavour will be overpowered by the oolong.

I highly recommend this tea as a latte! It enhances the creaminess and makes this tea truly to die for!

I’m hooked on the Coconut Oolong tea, so I hope you give it a try if you have the chance! You definitely won’t be disappointed if you’re a coconut lover like myself!
