Method: 1.5 tsp, 8 oz, 208 degrees, 3 minutes and 8 minutes, brew in mug strainer
Dry Leaf And Brewing Aroma: milky and buttery with a little hint of floral
Flavor: this tea is very light and “green”. I sipped it a bit and found the flavors to be pleasant, but quiet. I put the strainer back in and steeped to 8 minutes. The flavor is more present, but I could still use a little more, personally. Next time I’ll use more tea. This isn’t super creamy, but it has a nice milky flavor and has a hint of butter. I can taste some very mild florals as well. On some sips, I even pick up a slight roasty taste. This wasn’t my favorite of the TeaVivre samples, but I like it enough to drink more. :)

I didn’t feel like the milk oolong I tried western-style had enough flavor, either. I’m going to try them gong fu from now on, I think.
You may be right. I’ll try this gongfu and report back!
Honestly though, I feel the same way about all of the green oolongs I’ve tried. I think the flavor may just be a bit light for me in general. :P
Hmmmm. I really like greener oolongs. I find them to be very versatile. I enjoy the floral aromas and flavors and they are usually forgiving with long steeps. I have come to find, after tasting many in a short amount of time, that there’s not a huge variation in flavors. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. Also, maybe my taste buds aren’t refined enough to pick up more variation. I hope you’ll like them more when brewed gongfu!
Agreed, they taste okay but are a bit light for me too.
I can’t argue with that. They definitely have a lighter flavor. While I do enjoy them, I find myself leaning a bit toward strong black and pu’erh teas lately. I never thought I’d like pu’erh LOL
