Mighty Leaf – Orange Dulce
Name: Orange Dulce
Company: Mighty Leaf
Type: Black
Cost: $9.95 for 15 tea pouches
I continue to be impressed with Mighty Leaf’s products. Their silken tea pouches are really wonderful. They provide enough room for the tea to expand and you can plainly see that the tea is not dust. I decided to try their Orange Dulce flavored black tea despite the fact that I have not always had good experiences with bergamont flavor in teas due to the horrid Earl Grey teas I have tried. When I first got a sniff of the aroma coming from the dry leaves I think my heart skipped a beat. Orange Dulce is made up of Ceylon and China black teas and flavored with bergamont, orange, vanilla, and jasmine blossoms which all make the tea highly fragrant.
I steeped this using boiling water and let it sit for 4 minutes waiting impatiently to take my first sip. I was pleased to discover that this flavored black tea is quite amazing. If you don’t like flavored black teas, then stay away from this one. It is full bodied and flavorful to the max. The orange and vanilla are strong and mingle together in harmony. I did not pick out the jasmine blossoms but I am sure it added to the fragrant nature of this tea.
For a flavored black tea, this is about as good as they come. Couple that with the great silk pouch it comes in and you have a great tasting and convenient tea. This has not gone bitter on me, has a tea taste, and the flavors are a perfect mixture. I haven’t found a lot of teas that I truly dislike, but neither do I have a lot of teas that knock me over with love. This one is darn near the top of that extreme and a tea that I am truly loving which is impressive for a flavored tea.
