Rishi has solved a huge problem for me with their line of powdered teas. Eating out in restaurants presents difficulties for tea lovers. These are convenient, delicious and economical. They have all the convenience of an instant tea but is far and away a different quality product. Instead of a powdered extract from brewed tea, the powdered oolong is a milled whole leaf. The best comparison for this tea is probably the traditional Japanese Matcha. And I believe the fact that we consume the entire leaf increases the various health benefits.But it is the wonderful oolong flavor captured in a powdered form that amazes me. The instructions said that it could be added to cold water or to hot. I opted for hot water on my taste test. It had the very distinctive oolong flavor, delightfully on the green side. And since I'm not inclined to sweeten or flavor my oolong tea, I was very pleased that there were still some subtle nuances released from the powder. It dissolved more thoroughly than matcha with no clumps. And the amount in each packet was generous enough that I was happy with brewing a hearty mug rather than a teacup.
I tested the convenience of traveling with the powdered tea. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to pack brewing equipment and probably wouldn't have it available at my destination, I put the powdered teas to the test. The Rishi Oolong was far and away my favorite. It is the kind of tea product I would like to keep tucked away in my glove compartment for unexpected tea emergencies.
It comes packaged in a box with 12 packets for $9.00. And the Rishi website provides additional preparation and nutritional information.
