I am trying out this tea with a longer steep time and I think I like it better than the suggested short steeping times. I’ve also realized that every time I’ve had this tea that the first steep is the best and that it slowly declines from there. In my experience, this happens for me most often with flavored oolongs.
I do enjoy the sugary, milky first cup and actually think it’s worth buying just for that. I think that this milk oolong is special because it’s soft, milky, sweet and the slightest bit leafy. I hope to bring out more of this flavor in second and third infusions to make this one a bit more affordable!

How long of a steep did you do, and at what temperature? I’m trying really hard to like milk oolong. :P
mandala’s is the only milk oolong i really like..
Cameron B., I tried this particular cup at 195 F and 3 minutes!
Sil, Mandala’s is definitely a unique milk oolong and sort of sits by itself in terms of a unique flavor. :)
