This tea is pretty good. I’m getting some floral notes. I’m getting a fruity note. I’m getting a milk note from the milk oolong. Don’t know if they used a milk oolong with actual milk flavoring. And I think I detect the jasmine in the mix. This is a nice harmonious blend.
I brewed this once in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and 190 degree water for 4 min.

Though I’ve never bought DAVID’s myself, that tea and the Gold Rush would be the tow I might get. Is it fairly creamy with both Jasmine and Milk?
Two. I hail from the Land of Dyslexia.
I stopped in for a sniff of this yesterday. Smells and looks great. Yes, there is jasmine in the blend. It appears to be a different milk oolong they are using here than their Guangzhou Milk Oolong which is also quite good. I haven’t picked any up yet, but it is on my list.
Oh, and in their straight up milk oolong, they do use milk flavouring. Initially, they didn’t, but it appears that now they do. Still good though.
Wonder how many versions of Monk’s Blend are out there—my favorite was a Metropolitan Tea version with vanilla and grenadine. Not a hint of oolong or jasmine, either one.
Daylon R Thomas, I think you could call it fairly creamy but that is an interpretation and someone else might think differently.
gmathis one of my favorite Monk’s blends comes from Discover Teas. As I recall a black tea witih blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry. NOthing like this at all.
