Buttermilk Oolong 

Taiwanese Milk Oolong doesn't 'taste' like milk. It 'feels' like milk. A thick, sweet and full mouthfeel is the name of the game for masterfully produced milk oolongs and this one has it in spades. Oxidized more than high elevation oolongs, this tea also has a subtle and rich fruit aftertaste lacking in many higher elevation oolongs.

This great tasting tea is one of the best value teas on the site right now for one main reason. The Ilan area is not 'famous' so the 'terroir premium' is at a minimum. We know for a fact that many resellers buy tea in this area and sell it at a premium in 'Alishan' or 'Shanlinxi' labelled bags. Cheating is not our style, so we are happy to be able to offer this tea at its authentic, great value price!

Daily Staple

Love this oolong. It´s light, not overpowering "creamy/milky" but smooth and pleasant. Excellent for a daily tea session or just as an "drink along" tea. I can re-steep it many times and the taste changes sublty. Definitely recommended

Adore this tea!

This is not the first milk oolong I've tried, but it might be my favorite! It does not smell nearly as creamy as some of the others, but it makes up for it with delicious, creamy flavor and mouthfeel. The first steep or two is slightly vegetal, which I don't usually like, but it is beautifully subtle and I actively enjoy it here. Then with each steep the flavor gets sweeter, in a very delicate way. It lasts me a whole workday! Definitely going in my regular rotation :)

Delightful!

I highly enjoy this comforting tea as a daily drinker! Creamy mouthfeel, buttery, subtle floral notes, and a sweet finish. It's so easy to brew in any way that suits you.

Buttery tea

This tea is very pleasant and creamy. It reminds me of a buttery hollandaise sauce in the best way possible; the name is fitting. It also reminds me of a tasty egg tart.
