From thepuriTea

Milk Oolong is a one-of-a-kind tea. It has no added flavors – its fantastically milky, creamy flavor is the result of its terroir and harvest season. The rolled, blue-green leaves have an intense milk aroma, like milk toffee or hard milk candy, with a slight floral undertone. Likewise, the bright yellow brew is incredibly aromatic and flavorful. Its scents of creamy caramel, flavors of cream, milk, coconut milk and tangerine-infused crème fraiche, and finish of gardenias, ripe fruits and warm cream are remarkably indulgent. Later infusions are greener, more floral and equally complex. Milk Oolong is delicious on its own, or with fresh fruit salad or coconut cream pie and sliced peaches.

Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever had a tea like this before. I’m not sure what to say except that this feels a lot like love. I didn’t really believe that it was going to taste like coconut, but it totally does! Yum.

Now I’m drinking my third steep of this. Still a bright, happy yellow, still fruity sweet with an aroma that makes me think of sunshine. Yep, this is definitely love.

This was part of my mix sampler from puriTea, which came today. Super fast shipping, I just ordered it yesterday afternoon. I can’t wait to try the other samples I got.

Wow…wow….WOW. This is my first milk oolong and I am not disappointed except that I didn’t order more! Smells like candies & cream and tastes like it too, but in a good light way. I will be ordering more and cannot wait to try others as well.

Thanks Cheri for the sample. There was a slight smell contamination from a lemony sample that was by this tea, so I can’t really tell what the dry leaf smells like.

I can definitely see how this is compared to candy, this is naturally sweet. It’s also creamy, both in taste and mouthfeel. There’s also a citrus note here that I can’t tell is from the other tea or from this one. Across the next 6 cups, the milky creamy buttery sweet tastes weakened, and fruity floral notes became more evident.

Overall a delicious tea.

Delicious. I’m pseudo gongfuing this one at work. It’s definitely been a Monday. Good tea really helps with that, but only to a point.

The weekend was long and I was barely on here. Friday night was summer beer fest, Saturday was Soundgarden/NIN, and Sunday I wound up going to a funeral in central IN. I had to drive my mom’s awful to drive car home through some storms. It was not fun.

I’m just about out of clean laundry. I was supposed to do that on Sunday but it obviously didn’t happen. Hopefully I will be able to get at least some done tonight or I’ll be coming to work naked in a couple of days.

SarsyPie

Friday and Saturday sound awesome. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m glad you made it through the storms. It rained for hours here. I would have hated to be driving!

I hope things work out with the laundry. They get really mad at my workplace when people show up naked. I’m assuming yours is the same way.

Cheri

Thank you for the laugh at the idea of knowing that they get mad at your workplace about naked employees. I don’t think that it will come to that. I might just skip the gym so I have time to run a few loads of laundry before bed.

TheTeaFairy

Oh man…soundgarden and NIN on the same night…awesome!

So sorry for your loss though…hope you can recuperate a little next week end :-)

And sars…you Are fooney!!!

Cheri

TTF it was an amazing show. If it comes to your area, I highly recommend it.

apt

YOU’RE LUCKY OH MY GOD, YOU GOT TO SEE ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER AND NINE INCH NAILS

apt

too bad you didn’t get to see Death Grips though, their live show is the stuff of legends apparently.

SarsyPie

I saw NIN back in the day. Like way, way back in the day. :p

apt

nice!!! pretty hate machine is the only album by them that I truly enjoy. though I used to be a huge KMFDM and Skinny Puppy fan.

hippiechick 42

How does one pseudo gongfu? lol

SarsyPie

I saw KMFDM back in the day. Like way, way back in the day. 3 times. Never saw SP, but they are touring now!

apt

thats v cool! they were great from like 88-95 but then they fell off. im not really into industrial anymore though.

apt

hippiechick: don’t even bother, just buy a gaiwan.

Cheri

My “pseudo gongfu” is my lazy way of doing it. I use a small glass with an infusion basket, so I’m not trying to pour anything more than into the cup at my desk. I’m notoriously clumsy. Last time I used a gaiwan, I spilled everywhere. I also don’t really have room at my desk for a full set or anything. This works for me and keeps me in tea the way I like it while I’m working, which keeps me happier. It’s a win-win for me. Yes, a gaiwan would be more authentic, but this suits my needs.

Cheri

It’s the first time I’ve seen NIN, surprisingly, but the one show I thought I was going to get to go to, my friend’s father’s funeral was that day. I opted to spend the day with her instead, which in the end was definitely the better choice. Then I wasn’t really into NIN so much anymore. My husband surprised me with these tickets and we had a blast.

apt

good on you for spending time with your friend, that’s a great thing for you to do. glad to hear you got to go to the NIN show as well. did you see Oneohtrix Point Never play as well?

SarsyPie

I told my BF that I want the SP tix for our already passed anniversary. I think he’s in.

Cheri

I didn’t know who Oneohtrix Point Never was, but yeah, I saw that part, although we were actually sitting out on the lawn with friends during his set. It was quite nice. I have added the newest album to my queue to listen to at work tomorrow.

apt

OPN is easily one of my favorite artists. R Plus Seven is a bit strange at first, though all of his work is. Maybe you should jump in with Replica first and then listen to R Plus Seven. R Plus Seven took me a while to like.

apt

And Sarsonator, that’s awesome! Hope you get to see them!

Cheri

I’ve added both OPN albums to the queue for tomorrow. Thanks!

It’s alright. It smells amaaaazing in the package. The creaminess/milkiness is not very strong as compared to other milk oolongs I’ve tried. It’s also almost completely gone by 2nd/3rd steep (gongfu style even). Then again, also way cheaper than the good stuff :P

edit: I find this pretty good for making butter tea with, instead of gongfu (which goes generic vegetal real fast)

I so enjoy it, I am addicted to this jolly tea and all my friends do too. They can’t wait to come to my place and do the milk Oolong tea ceremony (a la Aussie). I recommend it. I have two teapots per day 1,200 mls of tea.
