I’ve had good milk oolongs and bad oolongs, I’d say this is one of the more flavorful ones I’ve had. The milk taste is very obvious and it has a coconut tinge to it with some mild lilac undertones on the second steep. Smooth and fragrant. I didn’t experiment too much with it, but following vendor instructions yielded excellent results: 1 tsp, steeped at 190 for about a minute. It was good for multiple steeps. I got a very nice uplifting energy from this as well, which was unexpected.
One trait that I value in a tea is that it holds its taste and doesn’t become bitter if I accidentally forget about it. This tea, surprisingly, is not picky at all. There were a couple cups that I left steeping for much longer then I should have and it retained its original taste very well.
The cost of the tea itself is very nice – affordable and good value. I’ve paid much more for much worse. I felt that the money I paid for was well spent and will buy again.

Uggghhh… my first reply got lost in the ether. Damn.
Thanks for writing up your experience with this tea. I just now looked over the listing on our site for the Milk Oolong and added text in the “additional info” section. Have a look when you can. I also linked to our Jin Xuan oolong which is the original, unscented version of milk oolong.
There are no artificial flavors, chemical scents used in the milk oolong. All food-grade and organic and it contains zero dairy.
Thank you for writing up your thoughts on this tea. It’s been a top-5 seller for us since 2006 when we began purchasing from this particular supplier in Taiwan. Try the Jin Xuan sometime too. It’s an interesting comparison between a really nice scented and a really nice unscented version. You can taste in the unscented version what they are highlighting in the scented version.
Thanks again. Enjoy!
Grateful,

Awesome thanks so much!
