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.

I wanted to try this and I'm really glad I did. It definitely has an earthy aroma, but it's not too strong. I was expecting a little more milk/ butter taste, it had almost a very slight pepper taste. It was really good! Calming green tea, second infusion brought out a little more of the earthy taste but, for me, it was really comforting and quite enjoyable. I'll likely get a larger bag, definitely worth a try!

I like Oolong tea to began with. This Milk Oolong really does taste like you have milk in the cup with your Oolong. The taste was pleasant. Liked it!

Upon sniffing the tea, the auroma is creamy and dairy like, like a milk tea. It's as if you brewed it with milk and sugar, however, it is just withered green tea. I must say this is a spectacular process to apply such lovely taste without any additives. This is a must try, and for me, a must have in stock.

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!
