This is the best oolong I have ever had. It is flavoured (I think? whatever they used for the milky scent is great) but the natural oolong flavour comes through as well. It smells of coconut cream, mangos, skim milk, and jade oolong (think Anxi unroasted Tie Guan Yin). It suits the name milk oolong well. It has the sweet creaminess that goes so well with the base. The base has a natural fruitiness to it-it is very fresh and not roasted, but you still get natural buttery and fruity notes from it.

This is actually the best tea I’ve ever had. The perfect combination of flavourful, sweet, savoury (buttery), thick, and perfect iced or hot. If I could only drink one tea the rest of my life, I would pick this one. You can’t oversteep it (it doesn’t get bitter), but it holds up well to all brewing methods – gongfu, western, long cold brews. It resteeps about 8 times before I notice any loss of flavour.

Originally milk oolongs were milk tasting, then they added flavouring. I just had Hokkaido milk tea by the way. :)

Must be spectacular is you’re saying it’s the best after everything you’ve had at this point!

It is really something special. I can’t be without it in my cupboard.

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
