I have a few mystery tea bags that Theodor sent with one of my orders. I had to open three before I found one I wanted to drink and this oolong was it! My cup has cooled and it brings out more of the mineral notes in the sip than when hot. The finish has this creamy white rice taste. It has an almost caramel like taste. It’s such a lovely tea and my description is not doing it justice. A friend of mine said he found an oolong from a company that he swears is the same tea. They were out of stock the last time he checked and I can’t remember what the company was. I’ll have to ask him again and compare the two side by side.

I’d be interested to know if you can figure out what other shop has this tea!
Bird Pick Tea and Herb has a nearly identical tasting tea called Premium Silky Green. They list it as green but if you look at reviews you can see that everyone agrees it is a flavored milk oolong.
OH that’s the one! and lo and behold, I just happen to have some very old Bird Pick Premium Silky Green (smacks forehead).
I’ll ask when I see him this week. Doesn’t hurt to have multiple back up sources!
He said it was Tealyra’s Milk Jin Xuan Oolong that reminded him of this one. I had a cup and it was tasty, but I didn’t get to do a side by side comparison, so I can’t vouch for it yet.
oh no, I ALSO have a little bit of the Tealyra Milk oolong around here. what the heck. :D Thanks for asking again!
I just ordered a bag so I can compare the two! I’d love to know how you think it compares!
I COULD compare them, but all three of these teas that I have are extremely old at this point. haha
