| I LOVE this tea | May 13, 2013 | |
| This is an amazing oolong tea. When I first opened the tin, I was greeted with the most pleasant smell; a fruity aroma with floral hints, with an amazing buttery after effect. This complexity translates into the steeping. The first steeping has a beautiful fragrance, with a stronger buttery flavor. Additional steeps lead to the lighter floral notes, and a subtle sweetness. Definitely one of my favorite oolongs. This is one I always have on hand. |
| Excellent and Smooth | May 08, 2013 | |
| This is my favorite tea. It is on the green side of oolong, with a milky smooth mouthfeel and a slightly fruity aroma. I disagree with multiple infusions, as subsequent cups have little flavor. The leaves are large enough to settle out of the water without a strainer, so drinking at work is easy. The leaves are actually large enough that a tea ball would probably not work well. Not a problem for me. |
| My new favorite | February 04, 2013 | |
| Smooth, slight milky taste, I love it. Darjeeling has been my favorite, but I have to add a splash milk to it to cut the bitterness. This needs no milk, I just add a bit of sweetener and it's perfectly delightful. |

| Tea I was looking for everywhere, but found only here. |
| Get a taster tin first | January 26, 2013 | |
| I may be more of a tea purist than some, but I'm leaving a cautionary note that a taster tin might be a good first step for this particular tea. It was too hard to resist trying based on the description and the reviews, but definitely not for me. The first whiff upon opening the tin told me all I needed to know, but I drank a cup just to give it a fair shake. What's described as the flavors of sweet cream and pineapple tasted more like a decomposing flower bed, or a cheap scented candle. If you're generally a British or Irish Breakfast drinker, like me, get the small size first and you'll feel a little better when you spill it down the drain. |
| Who Couldn't Love this Oolong? | January 16, 2013 | |
| This oolong tea really IS lovely! I have been dying to try milk oolong and I am glad I did. As soon as I opened the envelope I was hit with the most fragrant essence of pineapple...so lovely. And as I drink my first cup, the pineapple flavor continues, along with a soft buttery essence and smooth mouth feel. I would definitely recommend this milk oolong to anyone looking to try something new and different...a definite must in my loose tea collection! |
| Smooth | December 20, 2012 | |
| This is the third time I have ordered Milk Oolong. Sometimes you just want to relax and and be calm, and this tea is smooth as silk. |
| Beautiful tea | December 05, 2012 | |
| This tea is beautifully fragrant, delicious, exquisite. I enjoy it in the evenings to relax, especially because it has less caffeine. |
| Surprisingly delightful!! | November 26, 2012 | |
| I bought this tea based on other people's reviews of it. It is so delightful! Smooth creamy taste with that subtle hint of pineapple. This is my second favorite tea! Will be back for more!! |

| A wonderful tea, exceeded my expectations. |
| Best Green Tea. Ever. | November 21, 2012 | |
| This tea is the best green tea I have ever tasted and is worth every penny. Many green teas have a very grassy or earthy flavor to them. This tea does not. It does not need sweetener or anything at all. Enjoy just as it is. |
| Delightful | November 13, 2012 | |
| Delicious |
| Excellent tea! | October 29, 2012 | |
| Aroma of the real rich cream and smoothness of ambrosia! |
| one of the best! | October 24, 2012 | |
| This tea is just simply one of the best iv'e had. no bitterness...can re-steep over and over, and still it's milky aroma lingers. it's just delicious. |
| Just Perfect | October 02, 2012 | |
| The most relaxing tea I've tried so far. I'm lactose intolerant, and therefore do not put milk in my tea. This one, however, tastes exactly like I've poured in a few drops, and I don't have the upset stomach afterwards! Definitely my favourite tea... Why didn't I order the entire stock? |
| Tastes like it should be a lot more expensive! | October 01, 2012 | |
| The subtitles in this tea are wonderful, yet it's robust enough to allow for some variations in steeping to tune it to taste without creating a bitter follow. It's simply a wonderful treat! After making a pot of hot tea, I will re-use the leaves for a lighter blend in a larger pot which goes into the fridge for iced tea. |
| One of the best tea I've ever had! | September 09, 2012 | |
| Just the right amount of milky aroma! |
| As described | July 04, 2012 | |
| I bought quite a few teas to try for the first time and was really looking forward to this one. It is delicious with exactly the hints of pineapple as described. I am not a big fan of the green teas but this one is wonderful and smooth. |
| A Mellow Cup of Tea | June 12, 2012 | |
| I enjoy the total experience of this mild, smooth tea. No sweetener for me, please. I like to experience each slow sip, and find it the perfect drink after a morning of meditation and just before bed too. It has a very pleasing taste and smells wonderful too~!~ |
| Great flavour! | June 10, 2012 | |
| Very smooth; nice milky flavour; can add a few drops of honey and it also tastes great. |
| Smooth | June 10, 2012 | |
| First, a wonderful fruity aroma hits you when the tin is opened; then, as you drink, the flavor is sooooo smooth and not overly scented, I can't help but smile until the cup is empty. My favorite to date. |
| Nice Tea | June 09, 2012 | |
| The first time I brewed this tea I got it a little too strong and it was a little overwhelming. The second cup was just right and the flavor was spot on. |
| Smooth and Creamy | May 28, 2012 | |
| Very nice. Smooth and almost creamy with a bit of caramel flavor. Most enjoyable. Glad I got the full tin, would not want to be without. |
| Wonderful | May 24, 2012 | |
| Absolutely wonderful. It smells of pineapple, fresh plums and peaches straight out of the tin, and brews up into a cup that tastes fruity and creamy all at once. Will definitely be a constant in my cupboard. Delicious! |
| Very smoooooth | May 11, 2012 | |
| This is a very nice tea, very smooth and subtle in flavor. It has a light, creamy caramel flavor to it. I really enjoyed it. |
| My New Favorite | May 07, 2012 | |
| My New Favorite Green Tea. Simply Awesome |
| My favorite tea | May 03, 2012 | |
| This is the smoothest, most delicious tea I have ever tasted. I was happy to find the taster tin so I could sample it without buying the 3.5 ounce container! However, now I'm disappointed I didn't buy more! This milk oolong will be a constant in my tea collection. |
| of milk oolong | April 17, 2012 | |
| It is fantastic how each dried nugget of leaf unfurls into delightful deliciousness! The fruited scents and clear flavor. |
| Best Oolong tea I've ever had. | April 16, 2012 | |
| Fantastic tea, very smooth creamy texture and excellent flavor. I will keep this one stocked for as long as it is sold. It's become my daily cup. |
| The most aromatic Oolong | March 26, 2012 | |
| In general, I enjoy Oolong, especially with Chinese food. But black tea is my my staple. So it was a real surprise to open my first can of Milk Oolong and be struck by an aroma akin to perfume -- an aroma the sweetness of which remains even as the tea is brewed and sipped. I think it one of the nicest teas that I have ever sampled. |
| Outstanding -- in fact, hard to believe! | March 11, 2012 | |
| This is by far the most perfumed oolong I have ever tasted. It is very perfumed straight out of the bag, before any water is added. This is unlike any other oolongs -- Tie Guan Yin, for instance, has a lovely orchid fragrance, but it develops slowly as the infusion proceeds. Only "hua cha" (teas perfumed with flowers, such as chrysanthemum tea, jasmine tea, etc.) have that kind of perfume in the bag. The perfume does not alter significantly in the brewing and is the distinctive characteristic of this particular tea. I have had other "milk oolongs" from Fujian or from Taiwan, but they were nothing like this one. It's hard to believe that the tea leaves would be that perfumed (I am tempted to conclude that this is in fact a type of hua cha -- that the leaves are mixed with flowers or fruit at some stage of processing) -- but I am not complaining: I love this tea and just got two pounds of it. I'll be back for more, as all of friends love it too! |

| never liked tea until i tasted this one! |
| Fantastic Oolong!! | February 13, 2012 | |
| This is SUCH a nice tea! Oddly enough, you can taste the cream and pineapple! Very slight, of course, but not like any other Oolong I've tried. I got the taster tin, but will be getting the larger tin when I'm done. I prefer this one to the Ti Kuan Yin... and this one's cheaper! |
| Lovely and delicate | February 06, 2012 | |
| I love oolong, and this is one of my favorites. It has delicate notes of apricot and cream and is very silky in the mouth. Just heavenly. The only caveat is that although the label says it's great for multiple infusions, I have found that on second brewing the taste becomes too pale. However I will definitely buy this again. |
| New Favorite Oolong ! | January 13, 2012 | |
| I like oolong teas best, and never thought I'd find a tea the could match the wonderful flavor of my favorite, Ti Kuan Yin. I tried a small tin of Milk Oolong and was just amazed by it's unique flavor that lingers on the palate and in my mind. It really has a milky quality, and I never put milk in my tea. I plan to order more today, so I am never without it. You have so many wonderful teas, so it says a lot when I can truly say this is one of the very best in the world ! |
| Good smooth taste and light flavor | January 02, 2012 | |
| Very pleased with this tea quality. Milk Oolong seems hard to find and I am glad I managed to get this. Would buy again. |
| Love This Tea :) | January 01, 2012 | |
| So i wasn't so sure what it would taste like when i first bought it but upon making the first cup i fell in love with it. It has a very soothing and smooth taste with an unique flavor. Taste really great it sweetened a bit with Agave Nectar but still wonderful without sweetener. I highly recommend tea lovers to give this tea a try :) |
| Good tea for the price | December 26, 2011 | |
| Purchased the bulk size milk oolong because of the price, but tea initially tasted amazing that I immediately decided to order more before it sold out, but halfway through the bag the flavor and size of the loose tea changed. The flavor was weaker so I ended up using more tea for each cup and the tea leaves after infusion was smaller and broken compared to the ones when I first opened the bag. Buying in bulk may be less expensive but quality of tea is inconsisent. |
| Wonderful creamy tasting tea | December 10, 2011 | |
| Smooth and light, dreamy tasting. A comfort tea. |
| Fantastic | September 14, 2011 | |
| This is a really tasty oolong, a great afternoon beverage with a unique and satisfying taste. And if you're watching your wallet, this is really affordable compared to many other oolongs on the market for such high quality! |
| what a find! | August 13, 2011 | |
| Truly does smells of pineapple and milk - this is a wonderful oolong. I have it for desert – make it with boiling water, steep it strong and add a touch of raw turbinado sugar, and those smells will becomes tastes. Because of its similar aroma, I always make it when I have a fresh pineapple and cottage cheese. Takes an otherwise pedestrian desert and makes it something special. Love this one. |
| Wonderful! | July 31, 2011 | |
| This is wonderful, great flavor plain or with honey or agave necter, I have also blended it with some lapsang suchong for a great blend. Has multiple layers of flavor no matter how you serve it. Will diffently buy more! |
| My favorite tea yet! | July 06, 2011 | |
| This tea is wonderfully complex and muted. It was my first experience with oolong tea of any sort, and I love it, love it, love it! It's not too strong, but it's still got a lovely flavor. I sweeten with honey (if at all), and while the flavors changed somewhat after the addition of a dab of it, flavors I hadn't noticed before really came out. I'll definitely be buying this one again! |
