This is FABULOUS! Sweet, creamy, and rich – but not in the same creamy way I’m used to – this is more like sweet cream rather than “warm milk” – and it is as if the cream has been sweetened with a fruit of some sort… I almost want to say plum, but a very sweet plum rather than a plum that is both sweet with a hint of tart. There is no tartness to this tea at all, just sweet, dreamy, creamy, wonderful flavor. Even the floral tones are significantly different. Not at all pungent or sharp, these remind me more of a cloud if it were a flower – something soft and fluffy, but still vaguely floral.
Truly lovely!

Subsequent infusions become a bit more floral but still keeps it’s creaminess intact, making for a very smooth floral note – not at all sharp. Very nice, indeed.
How does this compare to the Silky Green, which general opinion says tastes like a good milk oolong?
It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted the Silky Green, so I don’t feel comfortable comparing them.
Oh boy! I wanted something to add to my orders for Silky Green! This one sounds DELISH!

A good oolong is bliss.
@*Michelle Butler Hallett* – Very true… :)

Fair enough! Just piqued my interest as another tea to order from this company, and curious how different the two are. I may need to keep a close eye on ashmanra’s tealog!
