From Mountain Stream Teas

Made from the same material as our famous Alishan GABA, this year’s spring production of Milk Oolong was so good we had to share it. Creamy, sweet and floral, this tea is what has made millions the world over fall in love in High Mountain Alishan Oolongs. The name Firefly comes from the fact that this garden lights up in the spring harvest season with thousands of fireflies, as no agrochemicals are use in the production of this tea.

Backlog & Sipdown

I drank this down on Wednesday, but while working. I only recall creaminess and some florals. Unfortunately, it was a busy night at work, so I never got the opportunity to sit down for notes.

2023 sipdown no. 96

I sadly barely paid attention to this for a proper note, but there was a lovely creaminess with subtle florals. I would get this one again.

This was a freebie so fresh it wasn’t even on Mountain Stream Tea’s website when I received my latest order. Thank you :)

The leaf aromas are fresh and floral, cool grassy and creamy, blue-green in scent-color, scalded milk and millet. Warmed leaf smells more like a nutmilk with fruity pineapple-guava tone and some plumeria.

The liquor is glassy-viscous. Squeaky clean young grass and gentle sweetness mix seamlessly with a jackfruit and unripe tropical fruit taste that holds a savory undertone of orange-flesh squash and cooked peaches, carrying through into the aftertaste. Slightly creamy floral perfume of moderate intensity sits above and settles into all the spaces. The floral quality interestingly expresses itself most fully in the later infusions where I can differentiate plumeria, honeysuckle and jasmine.

It does very well grandpa style and also with very hot water.

Overall, it’s an wulong of moderate intensity and well done. More perfumey floral and grassy than fruity and creamy. As long as you’re not expecting a ‘scented’ flavor bomb, can we agree that this is a nice Jin Xuan?
