Milk Oolong (Jin Xuan / Nai Xiang / #12)

I read about Milk Oolong tea in a tea magazine (the tea concierge had been quoted as saying milk oolong was a guest favorite) and went on an internet search to find some. I’m so glad I found this site and this tea. I am placing a second order and subscription since I gave most of it away already! I took some to a friend recovering from hip surgery and we had a nice little visit and tea party. Highly recommend this tea! It seems to be popular with everyone who tries it.

This is the real deal—just pure tea with no flavorings or mil powder added.
I tried this, outside of my comfort zone, as I generally gravitate toward flavored teas. It smelled like buttered spinach to me out of the bag, and I was nervous at first. (I like spinach, but don’t have the hankering to drink it.)

The taste was buttery, creamy, with a slight bit of hay/vegetal note, but very smooth, without astringency or bitterness. There were no tannins, from what I could tell, and the mouthfeel was thicker than most teas, and very pleasant. I tried it hot and plain first.

Then I added some honey in the rest, and that brought out some tropical fruity notes I was pleasantly surprised by: almost a caramelized pineapple note.

So I enjoyed this tea both ways, and didn’t except to like it so much!

This pure tea is great quality, and worth a try!

I first tried milk oolong at a dimsum restaurant. At $3/person, it was the most expensive tea on the menu, and with good reason. I’m not ashamed to say I now have a problem. I’m starting to itch seeing my milk oolong supply getting low.

Such a silky taste. The best Milk Oolong I’ve had.

This is by far my favorite Milk Oolong out there. I have tried plenty, and this is the smoothest most delightful flavor of them all in my opinion. I've been drinking this since 2014. Thank you for creating such a beauty.
