You want your tasting notes to stand on their own two feet, but I just can’t help but compare this to Teavivre’s milk oolongs, the only other milk oolongs I’ve tried so far.

First off, I can already tell that there is a greater range among milk oolongs than I originally thought. Teavivre’s were decidedly on the green side, whereas David’s is venturing into some of those mineral flavors of a slightly darker tea; Teavivre’s had a distinct spinach note and David’s is more like Swiss chard, both in smell and taste. Even the milk flavor varies. David’s actually tastes like milk. Teavivre’s flavored milk oolong tastes like buttercream. The unflavored one has a hint of butter, but it’s far more subtle.

Overall, I think Teavivre’s oolong is superior (and did I mention, half the price?) but this is still a solid tea, and if I hadn’t tried Teavivre’s first, I probably would have loved it. As it is, I will drink this purchase down happily (because the REAL tragedy would be having NO milk oolong) but the next time I get this it will be from Teavivre.
