The first thing I noticed about my sample of Blue Raven's Orange Blossom Oolong was that the leaves appeared much thinner and longer than the other oolongs I have tried. I have learned from experience to generally use less oolong leaves than other varieties because they tend to grow so much once water is added. I wasn't sure if that would be the case with these leaves, but went ahead and prepared using less leaf. The dry leaves have a very light floral scent as well as what seemed to me could have been a very light vanilla aroma. While the leaves themselves did not increase in size like other oolongs, the orange blossoms in the blend did open up into large blossoms that were quite beautiful floating around. As I live in Florida and orange blossoms have caused allergy problems for me in the past, I was quite pleased to find that these orange blossoms did not have the distinct strong scent that I am more used to. I was actually expecting this to be more of a flavored oolong, but in the end, it appeared to be more of a scented oolong along the lines of a jasmine green. The flavor was delicately sweet, very good and all oolong.I would recommend this tea to anyone who is a fan of the more floral, fruity oolongs as well as to anyone interested in trying oolongs for the first time. The taste is light and sweet and allows you to savor the oolong instead of it being covered up in other flavors while the aroma is quite pleasant and not at all overwhelming.
