Naivetea Lychee Oolong Tea - Heaven in a Teacup

Dax: Naivetea lychee oolong is one helluva tea. Wifey fully supports Naivetea, and this lychee oolong tops her charts. For me, it was a blockbuster smash, kind of like when Avatar came out, it changed everything. Naivetea yuzu oolong tea is still my favorite of their offerings, but man this is fire. The oolong tea fresh out of the package smells like a lychee factory, and the taste is smooth, pure, and worth the imminent triple steep. I had to try this guy cold and it was better and more authentic than any Snapple I've ever had. Naivetea is the real best stuff on this planet...besides Nintendo, but you know what I'm getting at.

Mike: Teasans's Log: steeped Naivetea Lychee Oolong, suspicious scent fills the air upon opening package. Fruit galore. Smells fresh. Oolong tea scent also prevalent.
Poured an unmeasured quantity of Naivetea Lychee Oolong into tea press. Added about 709 CCs of hot water, about 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Steeped for about 10 minutes. Unleashed the flavor.
Tastes like fresh pear right off a tree. Looked up lychee, appears to be a type of Asian Berry, the only member of its genus. Who would have known? Oolong tea flavor is potent. Contender for best tea easily. Happy I tried it. Fresh.

Naivetea Lavender Oolong Tea - Vancouver Bound, But No Crown

Naivetea Lavender Oolong TeaMike: Naivetea Lavender Oolong is probably the weaker of the oolong teas sent to us by Naivetea. Nevertheless, it is the equivalent to making it to the Olympics but not taking home the gold. The fact that you made it is an accomplishment already.
Naivetea Lavender has the usual strong oolong base with a very pleasant lavender tinge. It smells and tastes a lot like a weaker jasmine tea which is a little more subtle. Generally speaking, I am a fan of strong, almost overwhelming flavors so this lavender tea was a little less majestic than I had dreamed. However, if you are a fan of lavender tea you're not going to want to miss this lavender oolong. It's smooth as silk.

Dax: Naivetea has it made in the shade with their ridiculous varieties of oolong tea. Today's special was the lavender oolong tea, which resulted in this Naivetea review. Clearly, the oolong tea base is nothing to fudge with, as its smoothness is felt in every sip. The lavender effect was soft and delicate, giving a pleasant aftertaste that makes moms happy. Although I cannot say that this Naivetea Lavender Oolong is as unique as their other blends, calming down with a cup of this lavender tea will wind you down just right.

Naivetea Passionfruit Oolong - A Monster In the Game

Naivetea Passionfruit Oolong TeaDax: The Gifted Teasan passed me an unidentified cup of oolong tea today and uttered the words, "steep on, playa." Now I had a feeling this was some Naivetea brand steep, and at first sniff I smelled the passion.. Synopsis: Naivetea Passionfruit Oolong tea. Naivetea I have the highest expectations of your tea, higher than none other, and of course I was not let down. This Godzilla brew is a monster in the game with the silkiest oolong tea base and a fruit finish that will have you saying, "that tastes like some more!" Steep it again and wach the flavor re-up without a hint of resteepage. Another banger, reviewed with passion.

Rating: A+

Mike: Like every other oolong tea from Naivetea, their passionfruit oolong is fire. There's no secret method of steeping but there are some tips and tricks for maximum results. Primarily, make sure the water is hot enough. Oolong doesn't diffuse well in temperate climates and requires Death Valley plus temperatures to infiltrate your steeparatus properly. The little sheet that comes with it says 208 degrees which is just under boiling temperature.
The first time I steeped this Naivetea oolong tea I waited some time post-boil to make tea moves and ended up using colder water. Still good but following directions to a tea (get it?) and using the hot hot hot water will enhance your experience. Overall, solid oolong tea base with rich passionfruit tones. Tastes exactly how you would expect, but you expect Naivetea to win in the first place. Damn, this is good.

Naivetea Yuzu Oolong - Wow Is An Understatement

Naivetea Yuzu OolongMike: Naivetea Yuzu Oolong tea will be your final resting place. If I was in prison and had the option of receiving conjugal visits or being brought a fresh cup of properly brewed Naivetea Yuzu Oolong, I'd choose the latter. Same effect, tastes a lot better too.
Naivetea tea sent us a bunch of samples to review and we obliged but we did not expect to be blown away. We got a tea store being twerked on in the pipelines and we're going to carry this brand of oolong tea if notonly so we can sell some of that Yuzu goodness. So what does it actually taste like? It's a complex blend of really rich oolongability and what seems like a bizarre blend of every citrus fruit you have ever tried, from lemon, to tangerine, to clementine, to orange, to bergamot. You can't even taste all the flavors until you let this tea rest on your tongue long enough to unleash all the flavor. Notice somthing new with each taste.

Rating: A+

Dax: I have never been hit so hard over the head by a tea than I was with Naivetea Yuzu Oolong tea. Naivetea snapped and put the most unique citrus flavor on Earth into an oolong tea that can only be described as "life-changing". I simultaneously put three new teasans on the map with one steep, and don't even think about the double steep, this tea packs more flavor than James Brown in a UPS truck. Folks, this may be the best. tea. ever. Period. Hall of Famer. Exclamation point.

Naivetea Mint Oolong - Teasan's Delight x 2

Naivetea Mint Oolong TeaDax: When Naivetea showed up at TeaAmigos HQ, I instantly knew that this was going to be a hit.  Naivetea Mint Oolong is a prime example of how rich and delightful a legit oolong tea can be.  What starts as a beautiful, fragrance-infused mint loose tea, soon becomes large leaves of rich freshness, just waiting for a resteep.  Naivetea Mint Oolong tea is not only heralded by my taste buds, it is now demanded when mint oolong tea is desired.  Now I can't say this is 5 stars across the board, and this is solely because the oolong tea taste that I am quite a fan for, was lacking.  Throw some more oo in there and this is 100% official like a referee whistle.

Mike: Naivetea comes at you hard with flavor and equally hard with the smoothness. The good people at Naivetea sent us a nice sampler pack of their teas with a personal letter and we love them for it. Naivetea doesn't waste time with green, black, or white teas. They go straight for the elite and focus solely on oolong tea. They are definitely teasans of the oolong tea hustle and we respect that.
I had the pleasure of steeping Naivetea Mint Oolong and I was overcome with a flavor that can only be wrought by a horde of Chinese soldiers from the Ming dynasty. Jet Li and Jackie Chan took turns flying side kicking my tongue with the mintiness. This mint tea, or more correctly, mint oolong tea has perhaps the sharpest flavor of mint. Bright yellow steep-drip and a hearty smell strong enough to clear nostrils if need be. Overall, a powerful steep.
