Opinion:  This was highly recommended at the Oasis Juice Bar.  Given the lovely name and thinking of mandarin oranges, at first I feared it might be citrus-based -- meaning migraine for me, but hooray, it isn't.  It just has a citrus-y flavor and aroma combined with vanilla.  The associate at Oasis said it is one of her favorites and very popular.  I can see (and taste) why.  It's a loose tea and the label directions say to use a teaspoon - it does puff up. But the website says to use a tablespoon.  Go with the teaspoon.  I can see why this is award-winning and a bestseller, you will, too.
