Tea Review: Rishi Organic Orange Blossom Tea

By Tea Enthusiast August 18, 2009

If you like citrus, you’re going to love Rishi Organic Orange Blossom Loose Tea with its flowery blend of select green teas, rare blossoms, organic asthmanthus flowers, jasmine flowers, organic lemongrass, natural essential oils of rose, orange, lime and tangerine, and aromatic lemon myrtle leaves.

One of the characteristics of Rishi Tea is its aromatic smell. The second of the four samples I received lives up to this characteristic. Each time you open the pouch or tin you get a waft of citrus smells of orange, lemon and lime.

This tea is great hot or iced. To brew, use one tablespoon of loose tea per cup, and heat the water to 185 degrees F. Steep for 3 minutes and remove the tea filter before drinking. Each serving of Rishi Organic Orange Blossom Loose Tea is good for three infusions.

			Pros Cons
			Healthy, green tea that’s high in antioxidants. Organic ingredients make this tea a wise choice. Tastes better with sugar—not honey. Although the natural rose essential oils and jasmine flowers balanced the flavor, it was still too much citrus flavor for my taste.
