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

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.
