One cannot forget this incomparable tea. The Milky Oolong has a really smooth but also fruity and kind of creamy taste. A delicate and calming experience. If you love sweet coconut, this is your tea! Simply extraordinary.
Tea leaves destined to become oolong teas are “bruised” to allow the release of some of the polphenol oxidase present in the leaves. Oolong teas are allowed to ferment for less time than black teas before they are heated and dried. Consequently, the catechin, theaflavin and thearubigin levels in oolong teas are generally between those of unfermented green and white teas and completely fermented black teas.
This is so so so good! It has exceeded every expectation I had of it. I expected great things with the combination of coconut and milk Oolong, but, I did not expect it to taste this amazing. It is sweet, and creamy, coconut-y but not so much that it overwhelms the delicious notes of the milk Oolong. There is a delicateness about it, but yet it is still so luscious and creamy.
this is one that you really just HAVE to taste to believe.
If anyone has a bunch of Tea Spot Teas in their stash and would be willing to swap – let me know!
It’s been a while since I have had a good coconut oolong!
This smells very nice! Crisp oolong, clean, sweet-coconut, milky and creamy!
Now for the taste…
The flavor is pretty involved! It’s coconut and nutty – much like an almond joy (minus the chocolate, that is). It has a slightly-sour milky taste…a lot like coconut milk in a can! This does taste fruitier than I expected but I really can’t put my finger on what type of fruit flavor I am picking up, specifically, other than the coconut notes, of course.
This is pretty fantastic! The more I drink the more I am loving it!
Mmmm pretty tasty! Espcially with a Mounds Bar stolen from my daughter’s Halloween stash HAHA!
Very GOOD coconut flavor here with out that off putting coconut aroma or flavor I get in MANY coconut teas!
This one is a keeper!

Thank you Bo from The Tea Spot for this Sample!
When I tasted this Coconut Oolong I was expecting a ‘taste sensation’! (I am a lover of coconut and to pair the flavor with Oolong is just the best combination!)
When I poured the liquor it was clear and not cloudy like some Milky Oolongs.
There were bits of natural coconut in the brew basket mixed with the dark green tea… and the scent of coconut and flowers was steaming hot from the light yellow liquor in my cup.
The flavor was definately coconut! Good,good,good!
I tasted a little vegital background…ok… and to be expected with an Oolong. The vegital taste was covered well enough by the milky smooth, floral creaminess of the tea.
There was a good deal of astringency biting at my tongue. A tiny sourness too. Hum. It didn’t annoy me really. The flavor was too good for anything to be annoying!
I added sweetening. Come on, of course I added sweetening. This is a tea that cries for elevation to sublime dessertness!
Aha! That was more like it and took that sour/astringent edge almost all the way gone!
Natural coconut makes such a difference in the flavor. It’s much nuttier.
I used to make a Puerto Rican dessert called Love Powder (Polvo de Amor) using very very finely grated fresh coconut (no milk added)which was toasted in a pan with lots of sugar added to it. So good!
That’s the way I like this tea…like the Love Powder! SWEET
When I saw this tea on the site I new I had to try it. Getting a sample of this was really the catalyst for the order. The anticipation was also the reason I wanted Golden Moon’s Coconut Pouchong and/or a milk oolong the other day. And even though my tasting conditions aren’t optimal with a slightly stuffy nose (but still with my sense of smell!), I can’t wait to try it.
The dry tea smells oh so sweet and coconutty, and it’s hard to tell where the creamy coconut ends and the creamy milk oolong begins. There are long strands of coconut mixed in with dark green rolled oolong leaves. After steeping the tea smells more like the slightly fruity, creamy smell of a milk oolong. The coconut is there, but kind of melding with the creamy scent.
The taste is fruitier than I expected; it’s slightly peachy with a background of vegetal oolong. It’s nutty and a bit creamy, but not as creamy as I might have expected. Also I think I should drop the steep time to 2 minutes. It’s definitely very tasty, and I think I’m missing some of the subtleties due to my sickness. I’m going to hold off rating it until I can do a proper tasting, but it’s looking good so far.
Ah, my first cup of tea in about three weeks. WHAT?! Three weeks?! I know, it has to be some kind of record. Recovery from surgery has been long and miserable. It’s been difficult to taste certain foods and flavors. I didn’t want to waste good tea if I couldn’t taste anything! I decided that I was at a good point to try tea again. This coconut milky oolong was a great choice. It’s fruity, flavorful and comforting. I’m not getting much of a creamy or buttery note, but it’s still yummy. Welcome back, tea. I’m so happy to be drinking you again!
This oolong is interspersed with shreds of white coconut, lending it a very nutty scent, which, combined with the buttery scent of the milk oolong makes for a very fragrant introduction.
195/3 min. The scent is wonderful. The coconut is not overdone, nor is it sickeningly sweet. It’s quite perfect, actually. The milk oolong is delightful, buttery, nutty, but with a fruitiness as well. It reminds me so much of thepuritea’s oolong, just a bit stronger on the coconut notes. I’m so glad to have chosen it as my Royal Wedding watching tea.
For a coconut oolong this tea really fits its description. It tastes filling and creamy and the tea looks ‘milky’ almost murky. The way this tea store recommends this tea , I just couldn’t resist trying some, but I would definitely not say its “extraordinary” but I’ll drink it cuz I dont want to waste it but I wouldn’t buy this again- just not my favorite coconut tea.
I’m not very familiar with oolong teas and tried just a sip of this one while visiting a fellow tea enthusiast’s house a couple weeks ago. Just one sip, mind you, was enough to convince me to look up TheTeaSpot.Com and order this delicious, one-of-a-kind, takes-your-taste-buds-totally-by-surprise oolong which looks just as delightful as it tastes.
The package recommends a 195F/3min steep time and temperature, which I agree with. Buy it! Enjoy it.
The dry leaves are forest green and darker. The coconut shreds are tinted a bright shade of green in my sample. The aroma of the dry leaves is a sweet, chewy, buttery coconut; if you smelled the tea with your eyes closed, you could convince yourself you had opened a tin of coconut butter cookies. I’m excited to taste what this tea will be like.
The aroma over the steeped leaves is like steamed spinach and some coconut.
The liquor is slightly cloudy and a light green-yellow. It has a tangible and savory coconut aroma and has plenty of tea oil floating on top.
The taste is as expected from the smell. There is a buttery coconut flavor, a very (very) light astringency and a light sweetness that comes in moments later. There is a bitterness I notice at the very end or after a sip, and this is very faint. Where is the tea? Violent swishing around my mouth brings out a vegetal flavor and some oolong flavor — aha — there it is! This also brings a delicate, piney aftertaste.
A second steeping at 205F for 4 minutes gives a greener liquor with less tea oil. The coconut flavor is still produced at the same strength, and the vegetal tea flavor is stronger. The aftertaste is sweet with coconut.
I would call this very smooth and delicate, but not as complex as other oolongs I’ve tried. Overall the flavors are light. I may need to try this first steep again with a longer steep or with more tea to get the full flavor I expect from an oolong.
Love the coconut in this tea. Could not get enough of this one had three cups the first day it arrived. It had a wonderful buttery, nutty taste. This is definitely one of my favorites.
