Went into David’s on a whim, looking for a cream tea of some sort. Since all they have is cream earl grey, and that really isn’t a favourite, this one and buttered rum were suggested as alternatives. I got a cup to go, brewed 5-6 minutes or so in my travel mug.
Yep, it tastes like a milk oolong. And surprisingly, the western style brewing hasn’t made it bitter or astringent. I do feel I’m missing a lot of the flavour drinking it in my travel mug, though, since so much of what I like about oolongs is the scent.
While I do like this tea, and it’s not upsetting my tummy like some other oolongs I’ve tried, this isn’t really what I was looking for. I opted to not purchase this until I’ve sipped down some of the other oolong teas in my cupboard, and purchased 20g of buttered rum to experiment with. :)
