Gosh, this tea is fantastic. With flavourful, especially when brewed strong. I had this iced, brewed strong (500 mL cold water, 25 minutes, 2 tsp leaf).

Strong floral, fruity lychee and some lovely creamy coconut. The milk oolong is a nice base (I would have liked more oolong and less black tea, personally) with a complex tea flavour under the obvious notes. The after taste is even better than the initial.

Flavors: Coconut, Creamy, Fruity, Lychee, Vegetal

Preparation
Iced 8 min or more 2 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

I considered this in my recent order, but I’m not a coconut lover and I don’t like flavored milk oolong either ha ha. But glad to hear you loved it!

It wouldn’t be enjoyable if you do not enjoy coconut. The coconut is very noticable.

I neglected to check the ingredients, so this actually has traces of milk in it (something I do not knowingly buy). I was thrown off by the coconut milk and assumed they used coconut milk as a non-dairy alternative until I read the ingredients. I think the coconut is mostly natural flavouring added (and thus, not subtle at all). So, I will not purchase this again. However it is very tasty and I hope they reblend it without the dairy in the future.

I’m glad I didn’t succumb to ill-advised temptation this time ha ha!

I was a bit confused by the description for their milk oolong tbh, they made it sound like adding milk during the processing is the norm for a milk oolong, which it’s not? I was out at “infused and rolled in milky essences” lmao.

Milk oolong here is often flavoured lower grade oolong because it is cheaper and nobody knows differently when they are marketing to the average flavoured tea buyer. Most people don’t know about real milk oolong around here and don’t know the wonders of a high quality milk oolong. Now, they do sell some high grade oolongs at Murchie’s, but I’m not sure how they compare to other stores. I stick to cheaper options directly from China like YS or direct-from-the-grower like Whatcha.

Bio

I studied biochem and botany at University with a focus on genetics and evolutionary biology. Now, I work in biology setting up labs for students. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. Most of my teas are older and in smaller smounts, so I can’t offer samples of most blends. But you can still message me any time :)

My cupboard and stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing are both outdated and I have not organized my current list of teas in several years.
Most of these are only tiny samples/I can’t always spare any, but feel free to ask.

Favourite flavours/ingredients:
Rum/alcohol, clove, cardamom, rosemary, pine, sage, anise, moss/Earthy, lychee, floral, creamy, malt, hay, rice/grain, toasty, desserty, cocoa/chocolate, decaf or no caffeine, very unusual flavours

Favourite tea types
Decaf teas (any variety)/no caf tisanes like honeybush and rooibos, fruit blends without hibiscus, yellow, jade oolong, white, Darjeeling blacks, Longjing

Least favourite flavours/ingredients:
Acidic/sour/tart, melon, grapefruit, bitter, astringent, smokey, green apple, sickly sweet (too much chicory, cinnamon, or licorice root), yerba mate, turmeric, mushroom/fungus, vegetal and savoury

No
