Quangzhou Milk Oolong from DAVIDsTEA
100

This tea is simply a marvel of refinement and sophistication. First infusion and I am captivated by its rich aroma and its multiple flavors which interlace. Some milk, yes, subtly creamy and sweet. Comparatively to Teavivre’s milk oolong which I also greatly appreciated, I detect no floral note so far.  It might come through in the next several infusions I’m about to have today… I know that the milk aroma is natural in Teavivre. I wonder if it’s the same for this one, does anybody know if the milk is manualy added?  If it’s all natural goodness, then this tea is a miracle to be so naturally creamy!!

Now, the body: so dense and silky, it is a creme caramel transformed into beverage! Adding anything to it would be a crime, to all the milk and sugar addicts (Seinfeld quote: not that there’s anything wrong with that! ) please have this one “au naturel” first, then decide if you need to pimp your tea :o)

I’m now having my second steep, the leaves have almost fully unfolded, and the taste is just as wonderful and milky as the first infusion, and I can now detect the orchid slowly emerging.

This is a home run for me, it definitely deserves 100!!!

À SANDRA : oui, il est merveilleux, un peu dispendieux, mais j’en tire 5 infusions, alors on peut dire que c’est un bon rendement!
To BONNIE: I use a bit more tea and temperature lower than recommended, that’s how I seem to get more sweetness out of it, around 85C, (185F) for 4 min. the first 2 infusions, then I bring temperature up to about 95C, 5 min. I get a total of 5 delicious steeps!

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect!

About me: I am a free spirit, I let people be who and what they want and expect the same in return…

Books! I love French and classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.
As tea and books, music is something I can’t live without! From Bach to Nirvana, my ears have no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, I will never let a fury friend in needs.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others…

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember. But since I’v joined Steepster, my tea knowledge has emancipated exponentially.

My relationship with tea in a nut shell:

I’m married to straight Blacks. I have torrid love affairs with Oolongs. My BFFs are Greens. I have distant White acquaintances that I visit once in a while. I socialize more and more with Pu’erhs. I party with Flavored. Tea monogamy is not my lifestyle!

Tea is sensorial, makes me travel the world just by closing my eyes…the name itself «Camellia Sinensis» lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

As for my rating system, well it’s pretty much inexistent…Since I don’t write many reviews, I try to focus on the good stuff and will usually review the ones that left a big impression on me.

Not a big «swapper» but if we get to swap together, you’ll remember me, I live up to my Fairy reputation :-)
