This is the best oolong I have ever had. It is flavoured (I think? whatever they used for the milky scent is great) but the natural oolong flavour comes through as well. It smells of coconut cream, mangos, skim milk, and jade oolong (think Anxi unroasted Tie Guan Yin). It suits the name milk oolong well. It has the sweet creaminess that goes so well with the base. The base has a natural fruitiness to it-it is very fresh and not roasted, but you still get natural buttery and fruity notes from it.
This is actually the best tea I’ve ever had. The perfect combination of flavourful, sweet, savoury (buttery), thick, and perfect iced or hot. If I could only drink one tea the rest of my life, I would pick this one. You can’t oversteep it (it doesn’t get bitter), but it holds up well to all brewing methods – gongfu, western, long cold brews. It resteeps about 8 times before I notice any loss of flavour.
Flavors: Butter, Coconut, Cream, Creamy, Fruit Punch, Fruity, Mango, Milk, Smooth, Sweet, Tannin, Thick
I do love this tea. Other people have also told me they didn’t get any mango, so maybe I’m just crazy? Anyway, I’m glad to share a solid milk oolong with a friend, even if it doesn’t reward other drinkers with its rich mango and coconut flavours.
I got some mango. Coconut mango sticky rice to be exact.
