First tea of the afternoon…..
I need to try this so I can be sure it is something I need in my cupboard. Turns out, it really is. The thing I cannot get over is the price. It seems so much more affordably priced than any other milk oolong out there. I have to admit that I rather enjoyed the Milk Oolong from American Tea Room, but the price is a little scary.
I have to agree with other reviewers about the sample packaging. While it is cute, and I feel that the samples are secure, there is the matter of how to store them once they are opened. Luckily, I am a motivated sampler of teas, so I figure something out. I am not sure others would feel the same way. I did get a great deal on the samples, and I caught a free shipping deal, so in all, I am very happy with my order.
Buttery and smooth without much of a veggie taste, just like I read in another review. I can drink this straight up and rather enjoy it. Now I just need to decide how much to buy….
15 oz mug, 180 water, 3 minutes, about 2 tsp tea.

I’m going to have to try this again. I recently ordered some, but have to finish some other tea before I break into the pouch.
I have trouble ordering American Tea Room’s milk oolong.. it just doesn’t seem worth it to me. I haven’t been able to get much of the amazing flavor out of that tea & at that price.. no, no!
Great review! :)
I haven’t tried this one yet since I am waiting for some more secure pouches to come in the mail before I open it. Unfortunately said pouches took a detour across the country thanks to the US postal service, so I don’t know when I’ll get them now (currently in TX, after leaving NY to get shipped to NY).
But I am interested in comparing this to ATR’s, since I do love that one so much!

I like this one as well, and the price is a bit better than ATR.

@Dinosara…I know what you mean! I just had a package from CA go to FL on its way to OH….and then there was another that went to OH within 20 miles of my house and then back to PA. Those tracking logs are such a mystery to me!
