From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

A delicately tropical green-black blend bringing together floral lychee and creamy coconut.

A sophisticated blend of green, black and oolong teas. Delicate and tropical, this tea pairs the gentle, powdery perfume of lychees with the lactonic flavours of coconut and milk oolong. The result is a lush, elegant tea suited to spring mornings and pleasant summer evenings. Its medium-light body does best without milk, a subtle, fragrant nose rounded out with a silky mouthfeel and lingering sweetness. A subtle tea perfect for afternoon or high tea, best paired with light finger foods.

Great hot and just as good cold, this blend also makes for a delightfully refined iced tea, and a unique base for cocktails or mocktails. Perhaps with a splash of coconut milk.

Tasting Notes: Light and crisp but uncommonly rich with creamy notes that linger in the aftertaste. It opens with a slightly tropical fruity flavour, and with sweet, floral lychee. Coconut builds with each sip, leaving a creamy mouthfeel.

Ingredients: Black tea (Keemun, Ceylon), oolong tea (Milk Oolong), green tea (Maofeng), coconut pieces, lychee pieces, red cornflowers, natural and artificial flavouring

Allergen Warning: Contains dairy and coconut.

I’ve been very, very curious about this tea since AJ first wrote about it a year or so ago, so I jumped at the chance to pick it up while visiting Vancouver earlier this week.

I would imagine it must have been very, very tricky to balance the flavours of this blend. However, I think AJ had done a truly spectacular job at making sure everything is present without any one quality eclipsing the others. It’s smooth and more medium bodied with elements of both richness through the creamier and more custard-like notes of the coconut but also delicate and fragrant in the fresh, floral top notes and silky smooth oolong. Smack dab in the middle of that is a lychee note that it so juicy and lively, yet at peace with more fragile and silky sweet elements.

I so fully agree with the description of this as sophisticated, but it’s also kind of playful as well!? I really think I’m quite in love with the blend. It’s unlike any other lychee teas I’ve had before, but in the best sort of way.

Gosh, this tea is fantastic. With flavourful, especially when brewed strong. I had this iced, brewed strong (500 mL cold water, 25 minutes, 2 tsp leaf).

Strong floral, fruity lychee and some lovely creamy coconut. The milk oolong is a nice base (I would have liked more oolong and less black tea, personally) with a complex tea flavour under the obvious notes. The after taste is even better than the initial.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Fruity, Lychee, Vegetal

I considered this in my recent order, but I’m not a coconut lover and I don’t like flavored milk oolong either ha ha. But glad to hear you loved it!

It wouldn’t be enjoyable if you do not enjoy coconut. The coconut is very noticable.

I neglected to check the ingredients, so this actually has traces of milk in it (something I do not knowingly buy). I was thrown off by the coconut milk and assumed they used coconut milk as a non-dairy alternative until I read the ingredients. I think the coconut is mostly natural flavouring added (and thus, not subtle at all). So, I will not purchase this again. However it is very tasty and I hope they reblend it without the dairy in the future.

I’m glad I didn’t succumb to ill-advised temptation this time ha ha!

I was a bit confused by the description for their milk oolong tbh, they made it sound like adding milk during the processing is the norm for a milk oolong, which it’s not? I was out at “infused and rolled in milky essences” lmao.

Milk oolong here is often flavoured lower grade oolong because it is cheaper and nobody knows differently when they are marketing to the average flavoured tea buyer. Most people don’t know about real milk oolong around here and don’t know the wonders of a high quality milk oolong. Now, they do sell some high grade oolongs at Murchie’s, but I’m not sure how they compare to other stores. I stick to cheaper options directly from China like YS or direct-from-the-grower like Whatcha.

Batch-tasting this at work right now, and just generally vibing with how it turned out. It’s similar in vibe to Vanilla Jasmine… An oolong to help round things out, milky, gentle, floral rosey-like lychee, sweet and slightly tropical coconut note. Lychee on its own can be very powdery-floral to me, grandma-esque, but it’s made slightly creamy with the coconut. It’s probably too light for milk, but also really inviting iced… If I hadn’t gone for lychee, I think this could have tasted really nice with rose instead. Rose Coconut Milk, hmm.

Definitely another tea that I held onto my original test-batch for. Been drinking a lot of this, and a lot of No.9 in between batch-tasting and pre-shipment sample-tasting. One of our main big blenders is out of commission and being worked on, so drinking this and staring forlornly out at it.

The most current batch of this needs to rest a bit though; the ratio tastes a little off, so I’m holding it back.

Flavors: Coconut, Custard, Lychee, Milk, Sweet, Toasty, Vegetal
