Taiwan Milk Oolong

Bought this to try after watching videos of Jessie's Tea House drinking the tea. I followed internet directions for brewing the tea, which was 1 tsp to 185 F degree water, and I added a wash. In this brewing method, the tea was really fragrant, but only had a slightly bitter and earthy flavor. Today I decided to brew the tea on a lower temperature. I did this because the white-ish color of the tea liquid and light flavor profile indicated to me that I might have more luck getting sweet notes out of it if I lowered the water temperature. Luckily I was right. Brewing Instructions: - water boiled to 160 F - 1 tsp tea leaves to 6-8 oz water - No wash (not needed for delicate teas unless you like the flavor with a wash.) - Steep covered for 5 minutes Tea color: very light yellow, almost white Scent: strong stone fruit with dried milk notes Flavor: watery top notes, strong sweet and slight acidity mid and end notes like stone fruit, astringent dry finish This brewing method made a world's difference of flavor improvement with tons of sweetness (admittedly, not washing the leaves might have done a lot too). I like fruity tea flavors, so this is a pretty pleasant drink for me. I also like to maximize flavor and minimize bitterness and astringent end notes, so my preferred brewing method accents those qualities. I think this could also make for a really great iced tea in the summer if you steep it overnight in the fridge. Overall it's a really pleasant all day drinking tea. Like my other tea reviews, I do recommend playing with your brewing methods (particularly water temperatures) to get an optimal flavor for your palate.

delicious milky taste! Great quality of tea . Absolutely love it and highly recommended for those who love tea and perfect gift for loved ones!!

Received promptly and was well packaged . Nice Milk Oolong . Flavor was exactly as I had hoped.

Great but the milky flavour could be more pronounced

Is the rolled little balls leaves type of tea, it tastes & smells delicious, I find it as milky flavor, it came very well seal with very preserved aroma

Tearelae seems like a legit company but I am pretty certain, and agree with others, that there is flavor added. The strange part is that it is acceptable to add flavor and very common in Chinese milk oolongs…. And they disclose on label and in description. So, after examining closely all description and specs of this tea, I trusted that it is JUST oolong tea…. Unadulterated. As a few others have stated, since the flavoring is not disclosed, one does not know WHAT was used to add flavor and odor. Easily makes my decision to not purchase from tearelae any longer… and makes me wonder whether I should consume the other teas from them that I have already.

A delicious oolong tea which is smooth and tasty. It has a natural subtle sweetness There is no bitterness.

This oolong is flavored. I know Jin Xuan, and this is not that. It may be the right terroir, but the milk notes are supposed to be more of a subtle description for the pure oolong flavor, not a disgusting milk flavoring added to the tea. I do not drink flavored teas, so this bag is worthless to me.

My 9yo loves it, and so do I. A full body taste without being overly specific that some other Yunnan's sometimes have. Not the in-your-face honey taste you sometimes get. Instead this is rich, yet gentle. Would buy again. Recommended.

The best Milky Oolong I have ever tried ❤️

One of the best milk Oolong I had so far! I tried many and this one was the best I had, the scent is milky, sweet and very fragrant as for the taste, it's sweet and delicate, beautiful color and if well infused, you can reused the leafs once to twice ! I had to command a second batch just in case Tearelae don't make it anymore. Just to give an idea, I already used half a bag and made at least 20 teas with! I highly recommend it!!!

I love this tea.

Incredible! A new favorite. Was not expecting such a rich flavor and aroma. Delicate and pungent, creamy and floral. Managed to get 3 nice steeps from 1 teaspoon in a 1L pot. 1st steep was the best flavor but 2nd and 3rd did not disappoint. I've already placed an order for multiple more.
