oriarmcha Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea Loose Leaf - Taiwan Alishan High Mountain Oolong Tea Leaves (Flavored) - 100g (3.53-ounce)

First- this tea contains NO dairy products. The name milk is given to refer to its unique mouth "feel". This is one of the lighter floral oolongs which some people really cannot taste- while others go OOOH! Even people who cannot taste the delicate flavour can still experience the milk "mouth feel" for the first two brews.As a delicate oolong this prefers lots of leaves for many short brews- depending on your palate try three teaspoons per mug for 20 seconds for a first brew, then 30, 40, 50 - but vary depending upon your own taste experience. This one prefers not to be overbrewed- best to leave boiling water cool a few minutes and aim for an 80 degree C brew.The Oriam product in particular is one to enjoy as Oriarm take great care not to damage the leaves- they will usually be whole leaf or nearly so, not damaged by vacuum packing. When tea leaves are broken the finer flavours are lost.The Milk Oolong is a "high mountain" tea, and like all teas it will vary depending on when picked, from week to week even, and from year to year, as local weather really can influence the flavour.This tea is on my list of favourites to buy again and again- but I do realise that some really cannot taste it, which is a taste bud thing. Try a small sample first, with lots of leaves for a short brew- try a slightly longer brew if needed but if you go past a minute, you are not tasting the tea.
