I would shy away from linseed oil ..it tends to darken with age and will not give you as effective protection as some of the newer finishes. I would go with a wipe on polymerized tung oil finish or Danish oil, Waterlox or a Watco type product. Depending on the final sheen you want, as oils will give you the softest sheen no matter how many coats you apply.....Tung oils products will yield some build and polymerized tung oils will build the most to surface finish and a sheen dependant on the product you choose...Watco colors are nice and might be a good way to get the richness of color and then follow up with any of the others...again depending on the desired sheen/look you're after...you can stain the teak...but usually it's left pretty much natural and has a beautiful inherant color...helped along by some colored oil like the Watco products...
