From Tealux

Milk Oolong Tea produced a light yellowish liquid with milky sweet aroma and smooth and sweet lingering taste. Milk Oolong Tea is a very special hand processed tea from Taiwan. Milk Oolong Tea is produced from tea leaves at certain time, temperature, altitude, soil conditions to get the milky silky texture. Our Milk Oolong Tea is naturally processed and not scented. This particular tea leaf was produced by farmers who placed in the top third, in the category of oolong.

I really like this tea. A very light and sweet oolong, and very milky. I’ve brewed this in my gaiwan as well as a normal western infuser. Both are great however I might prefer the gaiwan and the character of this tea really changes over the multiple infuaions.

Took my new gaiwan for a test run with this! I wanted to start out with a tea I had tried before, for comparison purposes. I’m still totally entertained by how these leaves start out so small, and end up so big. And with my glass gaiwan, I can watch it happen! So. 4g of tea for 4oz of water. I can’t remember exactly how I timed the steepings, but I think it was something like: rinse, 20s, 20s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 1.5min, 2 min, 3 min. It’s not dramatically different from steeping western-style with multiple infusions, but there’s definitely more of a progression of flavours. It starts out light, gets sweeter, then creamier, then grassier. Also, I think I’ve found a solution to the “holy crap that’s a huge (cumulative) amount of tea” problem: I set up a pyrex measuring cup next to me on the table, and with each steeping I poured 2oz into my little cup to drink and 2oz into the pyrex cup. At the end the pyrex cup got a covering of saran wrap and went in the fridge, so tomorrow I’ll see what it this Jin Xuan tastes like cold. :)

Well now……just…..what? How does tea do this? How does it taste like milk?!?!!?? I had my boyfriend smell the bag (the bag which says there is nothing else besides oolong tea leaves in there) and he looked up at me with this strange face and was like….“Why are you buying baby formula tea???”

It smells like milk and tastes like a milky green tea latte kind of deal. I rather like it! I’ve been looking forward to trying a milk oolong for quite a while now. That, of course, means that I have no idea how this holds up in comparison to other milk oolongs. I only know I’ll greatly enjoy drinking the rest of my sample packet ( and my boyfriend will too)!

ETA: I forgot to mention that I thought I’d brewed it all wrong at first. My timer went off and the “tea” still looked just like water. It is probably the lightest-colored brew I’ve seen.

some milk oolongs are flavored…

The Cookie Lady

I remember reading that somewhere but this one doesn’t list flavoring as an ingredient. I’m wondering if the flavoring has to be included in the ingredients? I don’t know.

TeaBrat

Your best bet would be just to ask the seller directly I suppose :)

A good comparison of flavoured/unflavoured is to try the two from Teavivre, which can give you an idea of what each tastes like. If it’s really milky, it’s probably flavoured. If it’s more of a creaminess with a floral background, it could be unflavoured. I personally prefer flavoured, and don’t frankly care that they are, because I enjoy the profile, haha.

Oh, so much better this time around!

First cup steeped 3 min at 90C, and it’s quite perfect. A touch more floral and perfumey at the start of the sip than other milk oolongs I’ve had, and then rich, creamy, buttery goodness. I like this a lot.

The second steep of these leaves had less floral and cream and more vegetal notes. Not quite as interesting but still tasty.

This superb tea was bought from Tealux. Sweet to smell and to taste but doesn’t overpower with sickly sweet sugar. Flavours reminiscent from the process in which it’s made -it’s a lovely milky treat. I enjoyed it in a Timolino flask and it got better the longer I left it to steep (to my taste).

Flavors: Caramel, Milk, Vanilla

Excellent stuff. Not the best Jin Xuan I’ve ever had, but not far off and it’s a bargain for the price.
A sweet buttery aroma from the tin, almost like Caramel popcorn.
Taste is milky and smooth. Very enjoyable, just don’t steep too long.

Flavors: Caramel

I feel bad for reviewing this tea since it definitely is a matter of personal taste, but this was NOT an oolong for me. Which was really disappointing after hearing so many good things about milk oolong in general. Maybe I’ll go for Mandala’s version in the future, but I think as a whole I’m just not that much of an oolong drinker.

As for taste: this tea taste like creamed corn. It smells like pollen and flowers -call me strange but I was never much if a flower sniffer. Never saw the appeal. – and corn. While there was an undoubtably silkiness to the tea, the actual milk taste was somewhat powered and gritty. Not pleasant. The creamed corn and floral taste dominated the cup. Couldn’t finish it both times, hot or cold.
Smell: vegetal, floral and somewhat creamy. No butter notes. Smells better than it tastes.

This is the second milk oolong I’ve tried, and my second positive experience with this kind of tea. It was actually milk oolong that made me reevaluate my opinion of oolongs more broadly, and what a good thing that’s turned out to be!

This one is unflavoured, and is far more subtle than the David’s Quangzhou I first tried. It’s milky, but not over sweet or artificial. The main flavour is a mildly vegetal, mildly mineral green oolong. It’s a very light flavour, with a pleasant silky creaminess. I wouldn’t say it was outstanding, but it’s pleasant enough in my limited experience. I won’t have trouble finishing the bag, although I was expecting more from the flavour than I ultimately got. One to revisit another time.

Thank you so much Sheherazade for sending me this lovely Oolong.
This is a delicious Milk Oolong but I am a huge fan of this type of type of teas so it may biaise a little my opinion…no it doesn’t !

Pretty pale yellow liquor so typical of milky Oolongs.

This one is less strong on milk and butter notes than several others I had and it is interesting as the flowery notes are emerging on the top with a mellow flowery texture.

It doesn’t beat my dear Theodor Milky Oolong but it is very very nice tea in a different category.
Delicious.
