With daylight saving officially on the clock and the urge to spring forward thwarted by the sleep still in our eyes from last night’s slumber, perhaps a tea toast to some of the finest wake-up type tea I’ve ever brewed would be timely. To keep it stealthy strong but still sweetly tasty, I combined a full teaspoon of the rich, black, Golden Monkey Tea (which previously was used for my Orangeious George Tea Snack) with a half a teaspoon of the raspberry chocolate flavored Utopian Jewel Oolong Tea (which you may recall being used for my Spiced Mandarin Gr-oolong Tea Snack) and about a quarter of a teaspoon’s taste of some strawberry scented aged black pu-erh tea, and, honestly, I truly think I may have re-coined the phrase regarding the best part of waking up. Now, now, sure, I could have gone easy on the black tea and harder on the fruity oolong tea but, quite frankly, it’s daylight savings and, you don’t send a crumb to do a snack’s job! Cheers all!
The Teas
Since I’ve already covered the Golden Monkey Tea and the Utopian Jewel Oolong Tea, I’ll simplyblock quote those descriptions for you and whip out a fresh one for the..
- Strawberry Slender Pu-Erh Tea is certainly not one to be slender in taste, if you know what I mean. This aged black pu-erh tea has a lovely strawberry scent (and taste) and is claimed to assist in lowering cholesterol while also being good for the heart and, furthermore, is coined a diet tea because it aides in the digestion of fat and saturated oils.

- Utopian Jewel Oolong Tea has a raspberry chocolate like odor/taste but yet still acts like the oolong tea that it is and claims to help burn body fat while also increasing metabolism, aiding in digestion and supporting teeth and skin. Learn More

The most famous oolong tea is Ti Kuan Yin which grows in Anxi of Fujian province. It is very good spirit and with strong arosa and amazing flavor.
Hey Jasmine, thanks for stopping by and leaving your note! Great info on the oolong tea, too, I will certainly have to give it a try. Do you only drink oolong teas or do you try blacks, greens, whites, pu-erh’s too?
Regardless, thanks again, Jasmine, I hope to see you around!
