Milk oolong

Milky oolong from Zenstation was my first foray into the low oxidation level oolongs. I believe this one was around 10-15% – which, combining with the terroire of its plantation gives it the intense creaminess for which it is named. It is best brewed following gong fu cha and with nose and tasting cups you can experience its true magic. Very generous with the loose tea, shorter brew time will allow you to mimick the Zensation brewing. Unlike any other oolong I have tasted. At a stretch, it is similar to Dong Ding, but note – at a stretch. It really is unique.

Peachy, buttery, sweet… this is just a delicious tea. You can get 3-4 infusions out of it easily. It also cold-brews beautifully if – as I sometimes do with oolongs – you don’t have time to keep going gong-fu the whole day long. Going to make myself another pot of it now, don’t have much left though!
