Finishing this one off as a milk tea!

This is a well-loved tea from Lupicia, but it’s just never been one of my favorites for some reason. But when I was thinking of which flavored teas to try for milk tea, CTC came to mind, and then this tea. I used about 4 teaspoons of tea in 4 ounces of hot water and then added 8 ounces of milk and some sweetener.

Glorious nutty cookie milk tea! The cookie flavor totally comes through, along with the chestnut-like nuts and a bit of caramel. Yum! What a lovely way to send off a rather old tea.

Flavors: Caramel, Chestnut, Cookie, Nuts, Sweet

Preparation

Iced 3 min, 0 sec 4 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

I always feel like I’m going to love this one more than I do!

I’m with you, I think this one really needs milk to shine, which they do recommend in the description.

Yum yum. I’m not sure I’ve ever had this with milk, hmm. But this reminds me that I should try it!

Personally I feel like White Christmas is sort of a better version of this tea. And I had it last night as a milk tea, also scrumptious!

Profile

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
