Describe Yourself: Tea Enthusiast
Beautiful Tea, but a Finicky 4oz
Date:April 7, 2012
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile
Cons: Bitter, Prefer Tea Pouches, Weak
"I tried this tea for the first time as part of the Mighty Leaf Variety pack. I didn't think I would like it: I HATE overpoweringly fruity, citrus-y teas (I wouldn't go near an Orange Pekoe, which I thought this would be similar to, but tried it anyway since ML had never disappointed me even with flavors I don't care for).
First thoughts upon tasting: "Wow... this is NOT Orange Pekoe in the least! It's DELICIOUS!"
It's closer to an Earl Grey (my daily drink), but a bit lighter, with a little more of that Bergamot flavor and something like caramel or vanilla undertones (The "Dulce" part that really makes this tea). This quickly became my favorite tea that I'd ever tried.
I'd say it's a dessert tea, but it's fantastic any time: especially after a long, tiring day. The smell makes you feel wonderful!
Alas, I haven't seen a box of this at Whole Foods in a while, and even when I did it ran ~$9. A bit much, so I tried ordering the 4oz loose bag, since I thought that'd be more economical.
Unfortunately, like another reviewer said, it's not quite what it was in the pouches... I'm not sure why, but suspect that sealing this tea right away & in small portions preserves those Dulce notes better.
I tried a few experiments: shook up the bag, tried brewing it for less time. This is a really finicky one ((thus my "pros and cons" selections seemingly contradict each other)) but I found that those things helped a bit & brought back that Dulce scent that makes it magical.
It does NOT handle the 4-5 mins suggested for black teas well — I'd suggest more like ~2 mins.
I'll have to get a pouch pack soon to compare these more scientifically. if it turns out that pouches really are better it'll be a shame to have to buy those every time as it's more expensive. But... worth it. I can't help it; no other tea brand makes anything remotely close to this!"

Describe Yourself: Health Conscious
Orange Dulce
Date:March 20, 2012
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile, like having desert
Cons: a bit pricey for me
"Orange Dulce is really good tea. With some honey and cream it's like desert. I just wish it came in a can or something other than a bag. Maybe for 1st time customers you can get a free tin or something, even if it's a small one, so you can store some of the loose tea in there and make it more convenient in the mornings.
I steep it for 4-5 minutes and have never had any problems with mesh strainers. It is so tasty, I usually have 2 of these a day. I wind up switching to the cheaper brands throughout the day since Mighty Leaf is a bit too expensive for my budget. I try to get more for my money buying it loose, but I still don't think I'll be able to afford it on a regular basis. But if I could, this would be the only tea I would ever buy. It is *that* delicious."

re-steep the tea
Posted April 27, 2012
Hi CharlieLiza,
I loved your review and thought I'd tell you something you probably already know so excuse me. You can steep the bags and loose tea at least 3 times. I do this everyday and it is just as tasty each time (okay, maybe the third steeping is not quite as good) Also, this reduces you caffeine intake. After the first steeping, the caffeine is negligible or zero.

My new favorite
Date:March 17, 2012
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile
"Kickin' black tea full of rich, luscious flavor. The orange and vanilla are nice contrasts, the jasmine a nice is subtle layer. I sampled once, then bought a full pound. It's my go-to tea in the morning when I want more flavor than basic black (and ML makes a great one of those, too). A bit bubble-gummy, which is a flavor I like."

Perfect
Date:February 21, 2011
Pros: Great Aroma, Smooth Body, High Quality, Whole Leaf Tea, Unique Flavor Profile
"This is the one that got my attention. As a true tea freak, I am always on the hunt for great teas from all over the world and one day I stumbled upon this one. This one "almost" ended my search, and for my tastes this tea is perfect in almost every way, and so far I have bought over two pounds of it in as many years. Now my children have even made it a tradition to get me a pound every year for Christmas.
So as you can see I drink this one every day, and have not grown bored with the taste at all over time, and probably I never will. My preference is to drink it black with a dollop of raw honey in it.
Perfection!"
