TEARELAE Taiwan Milk Oolong Tea, 3.53oz/100g, Authentic Jin Xuan Tea

I absolutely love milk oolong tea, and this one from China is simply amazing. The quality is incredible, the tea leaves fully open up while brewing, and you can actually see that they are whole, beautiful leaves, not just small pieces. The flavor is fantastic: smooth, aromatic, and so enjoyable. You can brew the same leaves several times and each cup still has a wonderful taste. Everyone in my family loves it, and every guest who tries it at our home is always impressed. This has become my favorite tea in the whole world. A true milk oolong lover’s dream

Bought this to try after watching videos of Jessie's Tea House drinking the tea. I followed internet directions for brewing the tea, which was 1 tsp to 185 F degree water, and I added a wash. In this brewing method, the tea was really fragrant, but only had a slightly bitter and earthy flavor. Today I decided to brew the tea on a lower temperature. I did this because the white-ish color of the tea liquid and light flavor profile indicated to me that I might have more luck getting sweet notes out of it if I lowered the water temperature. Luckily I was right. Brewing Instructions: - water boiled to 160 F - 1 tsp tea leaves to 6-8 oz water - No wash (not needed for delicate teas unless you like the flavor with a wash.) - Steep covered for 5 minutes Tea color: very light yellow, almost white Scent: strong stone fruit with dried milk notes Flavor: watery top notes, strong sweet and slight acidity mid and end notes like stone fruit, astringent dry finish This brewing method made a world's difference of flavor improvement with tons of sweetness (admittedly, not washing the leaves might have done a lot too). I like fruity tea flavors, so this is a pretty pleasant drink for me. I also like to maximize flavor and minimize bitterness and astringent end notes, so my preferred brewing method accents those qualities. I think this could also make for a really great iced tea in the summer if you steep it overnight in the fridge. Overall it's a really pleasant all day drinking tea. Like my other tea reviews, I do recommend playing with your brewing methods (particularly water temperatures) to get an optimal flavor for your palate.

Happy with this tea. It's what you expect from a decent milk oolong. Reviewers saying it's tasteless probably didn't steep it for long enough or with water that was too hot. So have the water cool after just boiling and give it a solid 5-10 min steep. The flavors will come out.

I really like the strong milk taste of this tea. The Milky flavor is pretty strong but I personally like it. I'm curious and just hope it's natural. Great value for this product.

Absolutely delicious tea, it's so fresh honestly so delicious. I paired it with some rose buds when I steeped it and it was the perfect cup of milky rose oolong

Some people like Anastasia believe this is a small package (which it is), but it's weighed out generously and vacuum sealed. That's where the positives end unfortunately. The real problem is that the tea seems to have been adulterated with non-dairy creamer, milk powder, or something of the like: the tea has an intense milky smell while dry, which it shouldn't- It smacks you in the face with how unnatural it is. I had my younger brother take a whiff and he recoiled back from it. Fingers become tacky when rolling the dry leaves in hand, which they shouldn't. Leaving my hands smelling like that same artificial milk smell, which it shouldn't have in the first place. The tea has one flavor note and that's exactly how it smells: It's kind of gross and doesn't even taste like tea. Requested a return immediately and have to take it to Whole Foods now ~_~ I feel scammed. Wish the seller would have been straight up about their product rather than having to find out like this. Twinings Earl Grey from a teabag is more tasty, nuanced, and vibrant than this in my opinion, and that's kind of sad.

Delicious tea for a reasonable price.

3.5 stars. It smells nice but it is definitely made with artifical flavor. Not terrible tea though.

The best Milky Oolong I have ever tried ❤️

Incredible! A new favorite. Was not expecting such a rich flavor and aroma. Delicate and pungent, creamy and floral. Managed to get 3 nice steeps from 1 teaspoon in a 1L pot. 1st steep was the best flavor but 2nd and 3rd did not disappoint. I've already placed an order for multiple more.

I was pleasantly surprised. It has a subtle, delightful aroma and flavour. To me, it feels a touch floral. It’s a little expensive, but the quality is excellent. Will purchase again.

One of the best tea i ever had. I don’t know how people drink any other bag tea they should try it

One of the best milk Oolong I had so far! I tried many and this one was the best I had, the scent is milky, sweet and very fragrant as for the taste, it's sweet and delicate, beautiful color and if well infused, you can reused the leafs once to twice ! I had to command a second batch just in case Tearelae don't make it anymore. Just to give an idea, I already used half a bag and made at least 20 teas with! I highly recommend it!!!
