I purchased 250 grams of this milk oolong for my birthday this year. I brew it up as often I can, but I have other teas that I also drink on the daily at work. I gotta admit that for the price point, it’s pretty solid. Is it the best Milk Oolong I’ve had? No, but it is a good one to have at work when you’re not 100% thinking of the tea notes.
I drank this tonight at home, though. I split the pack between work and home. I tend to brew this up when I’m feeling lazy, tired, or want to gongfu, but mindlessly do so. ;)
The first steep has all of the milkiness that comes with an oolong such as this tea. However, after the first two infusions, that creamy note goes away. The leaf opens up quickly and it brews like a TGY. Soft, floral, and slight vegetal notes throughout the remainder of the session. I do have to admit that the sessions lasts up to 8-10 infusions, but doesn’t seem to go any further than that amount.
