Oh no.
I wanted so badly to like this tea. Maybe the reviews here and the idea of a “milk oolong” just built up in my mind and lead to disappointment. To be honest, it’s probably just my unrefined tastes at work here – but still – I really wanted this to be so good. I totally get the creamy/buttery taste and feel of this tea, but perhaps if it weren’t for the bad smell I was getting off of it I might’ve been able to enjoy it more. I drank half my cup and couldnt really finish the rest. Not so much because I found it so gross, but it was just too much – too much of something I can’t put my finger on. Richness? Anyways. No dice for this tea and me.
I hope that one day I will either be able to appreciate this tea/find one that I really do like.

Out of all the milk oolongs I’ve tried, this one is my least favourite. Don’t write off milk oolongs yet – try another and see if you find it any better.

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind! I can see why people like it, but this one just isn’t for me. The search for a milk oolong I like continues! :)

What-cha’s is excellent and very well priced. It’s a bit more complex and floral than some other milk oolongs I’ve had. I also really like Cornelia Bean’s though it’s expensive ($38/100g?)

Thank you! I’ll try and get my hands on some of those!

I had this as part of the advent calendar, and didn’t like it at all either. The reviews led me to believe it would be magical.

Bio

21. Geologist in training. Sometimes world traveler.

I’m new to this tea world – I’ve been an avid coffee drinker until about a year ago. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to tea – I’m a fan of blacks, whites, and fruity herbals. The only thing I can’t do is chocolate in tea.

I am always looking to try new things though so if you have any recommendations (of teas and stores/sites to buy them from) or want to swap, let me know!

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON MY WISH LIST I WILL 100% SWAP WITH YOU! Just shoot me a message!
And if there’s anything I have that you’re dying to try, and I can spare it – again, just ask! :)

I also just started a tea blog, if you want to follow/give criticism go for it! (link down bottom)
