From DAVIDsTEA

This rare oolong tea from China’s Wuyi Mountains is velvety smooth and creamy, with a subtle hint of orchid. It’s said that it came about when the moon fell in love with a comet. The comet passed her by, as comets will do. The moon cried milky tears, which chilled the tea fields, withering the leaves and giving them a delicate creaminess. This milky oolong tea has been a rare luxury ever since.

This tea is good but not great as others have said. It smells fantastic, creamy and delicious, but unfortunately it doesn’t taste that way. It has a smooth, slightly creamy taste, but then a bitter, leafy aftertaste. It honestly smells great- it smells exactly like a green tea kit kat. I wish that’s what it tasted like. This is one of those teas that smells way better than it tastes, especially for the price. I would not buy this one again.

I think David’s Tea is one of the best Canadian shops. Especially around the holidays — all their gift collections, like the tea advent calendars and ornaments, tea infused hand cream, and wide variety of teas (many of which are so much fun and festive!) make the store quite special. I’m a frequent steepster there – it’s a real thing.

Milk Oolong — my favourite non-green. I can say that, what with my rating being 100%! No, really, this deserves it. Milk Oolong is really rare to find, too.

This is the creamiest, most mouth watering scent I have enjoyed with a dry leaf! And better yet, the flavour matches up perfectly when it is brewed properly – fantastic mouthfeel. I sometimes add a splash of milk to a strong pot or added creaminess (which it doesn’t really need, really, but enhances it a bit). It’s a bit pricey, but it’s something I do not mind paying for as a treat. And hey, the holidays are coming up — and you can bet Milk Oolong is on my list.

After DavidsTea’s Vanilla Orchid Oolong won me over, I was really excited to pick this up during my most recent jaunt to the shop. I had earned two free oz of tea, and considered this to be the perfect opportunity to snap up some of this tea. It’s exactly the type of oolong I like – smooth, creamy, buttery, and very slightly nutty. Yum!

oh yes, i like this tea very very much. on any day, it is very good. seriously like the name implies, the tea carries with it a creamy taste and feel, and every time i brew this tea, i can steep several times. whatever makes it milky and silky is probably radioactive, but nonetheless, one of my favorites!

Always have wanted to try this tea. I’m quite impressed. So creamy and smooth. I haven’t had any milk in a long time. My husband is allergic and I try to keep dairy products out of the house. That and not having straight up milk has really helped improve my skin.

Is there any milk in this? Man my taste buds are so confused. The lovely vegetal oolong the silky, smooth milkish whatever it is that causes that flavor.

I had the chance to try this tea in my advent calendar. After reading some reviews I was a little nervous about making this tea and then jumping in the car to drive two hours but i made it anyways.
I added some vanilla syrup to it and was surprised how much I liked the tea. It is mellow, buttery, creamy taste, and with the syrup I added it added some sweet vanilla taste to which I enjoyed.
Not sure I would buy a tin of it, maybe a small bag to enjoy a cup every once and while.

This is creamy and mellow, with a slightly sweet taste. I was amazed at how much volume the leaves expanded to once this was steeped!

I’ve been wanting to try milk oolong for a while now. Although I realize that David’s version probably isn’t the best quality available, I really enjoyed this tea! The leaves are HUGE…a scant teaspoon filled my entire infuser once steeped. The creamy milk flavoring balances beautifully with the sweet oolong base and it has a fantastic silky mouth feel. This is the perfect bedtime cup of tea!

EDITED TO ADD: After 5 steeps, this tea was still going strong! I was ready to move onto something new, but seriously impressed with how well the flavor held up over multiple re-steepings. Bumping up my rating!

I had never before tried a milk oolong, so I didn’t know what to expect. This is like a cup of hot milk before bed. Liquid comfort food.

DAVIDsTEA 24 Days of Tea: Day 3 out of 24

What a nice surprise, given that is currently my favorite oolong. Love that milky flavor, and just between you and I, if someone made a QMO scented cologne, I very well might rep that.

Lesson learned though: OOLONG LEAVES EXPAND. I tried brewing in my Zojirushi travel mug, and the leaves weren’t able to expand fully in the small strainer. The end result was noticeably weaker-flavored tea.

Love love love this tea.
