Tealyra - Jin Xuan Milk Supreme Oolong - High Mountain Tainwanese Oolong Loose Leaf Tea - Unique Taste and Aroma - Caffeine Medium - 110g (4-ounce)

Offer first use I become addicted to this tea. I like the smell and taste. It takes some time to reach the full taste, but it worth it. I never saw a WHOLE leaf in tea before! So it’s definitely real, no any filling added

Too many different scientific and government reports reach the same conclusion--that tea from certain parts of the world tends to be dangerously contaminated. We can find far more economical tea from these parts of the world, but we'd rather drink much less tea but be safe while drinking the tea we order. We haven't so far come upon any health warnings about teas from Taiwan, so we're buying this tea until/unless we learn differently. Wish it were available in more cost-effective bulk purchase (16-oz or more).

This tea has a very unique flavor. The Mrs has nicknamed this tea "Popcorn Tea" in our house and she likes to have it with stay-in movie nights. When brewed correctly the tea has a distinct milky/buttery aroma to it that is reminiscent of going to the movies and the smells of liquid butter being run over your bag of popcorn at the counter. The taste actually does remind one of popcorn while still being easy to drink. This is a pretty light Oolong (in terms of Oolongs) with a good flavor but strength closer to the green-tea end of the Oolong spectrum. A great tea to have in the tea collection for those right times.The only reason for not 5 stars is that this tea isn't for everyone. The aroma really does remind one of butter and evaporated milk flavors and has been off-putting to the occasional person to try it (but not us). If you haven't tried this tea before or you have not had an milk styled Oolong tea before (specifically Jin Xuan style teas) you should try a smaller size before investing in the bulk product.This would be an Oolong a child of appropriate age would probably be OK trying and drinking (remember it has caffeine).

This is a great tea, with a milky-coconut aroma and flavor, and creamy mouthfeel. The reason I'm confident that this is a natural process milk oolong is that the flavor persists through multiple steeping. As you infuse more times the flavor becomes milder, but it's there. Thus, the flavor seems intrinsic to the tea rather than added. Even after multiple infusions, the quality of the leaf ensures very good flavor.Interestingly. the Wikipedia article on milk oolong, which speaks of the natural and aromatized versions, makes the point that the pronounced flavor achieved through aromatizing can indeed be achieved by proper, natural processing. Of course, the aromatized is an imitation of the real thing. I've looked at milk oolongs on Amazon for awhile, and am glad that I chose this one.

A Word of Caution: This tea is adulterated with powdered milk. I’d recommend using it in a teapot in which no other tea will be brewed. It especially penetrates porous pots (eg tokoname). The same for chawans. I’d only use it in highly glazed teaware, or reserve the teaware you use, for this tea only.

This is my first experience with this type of unusual tea. The flavor is very unique, cream or buttery flavor on top of the expected "tea" flavor. Very aromatic. At first I tried to brew it in a cheese cloth bag and then a little perforated basket used for traditional loose tea. These devices are not needed and inhibited the flavor development. I then tried placing it loose in a teapot and adding the hot water. I was surprised to see the little tea pearls expand into full tea leaves. This allowed the full flavor to develop. There are very few small pieces so pouring from the pot directly to the cup was possible. The small spout on my teapot didn't allow the whole leaves to pass through.

Delicious tea. Their steam process to milk-infuse the leaves makes this tea taste slightly sweet and savory. I would vote it HOA president if I could

This tea does not have the regular Milk tea taste/favor. Not nearly the same quality as we had previously.It is in fact just a very poor and expensive tea but not returnable.
