David’s Tea points rolled over and I decided to pick up 50g of this for old time’s sake. It also seemed like the perfect way to get around not having a milk oolong while remaining on my tea buying hiatus (I want Mandala’s Milk Oolong soo much). Needless to say, I’ve been drinking this tea at work everyday and nothing else.

While this oolong is no subtle beast and ascribes to the same general “hit you in the mouth with all my dessert powers” David’s Tea swagger, I like this one. It’s like all those serious wine drinkers who stick up their noses at those over-the-top oaked California Chardonnays because Butter. Sure, it’s uncouth and removes much of the subtly, but butter is delicious. I love that I can have so much butter without ingesting a ridiculous amounts of fat calories.

Here’s to butter, crass California Chardonnays, and this special oolong. You are not complex but you know what you want! I respect that.

There are days that nothing can beat a good commercially created butter milk oolong. Hear, hear!

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
