Milk Oolong is a uniquely processed type of Oolong tea that is revered by tea connoisseurs world wide.
During the withering stage of processing, the leaves are exposed to milk steam and are infused and rolled in milky essences. This leads to an incredible soft and mellow note, as if you had added milk to the tea.
This Oolong has a light, warm scent, almost like freshly iced cupcakes, with no astringency in the flavour.

Happy Mistake!! Review by ['Robber Fly']
I was stocking up tea and decided to try some of the herbal teas; I did not look carefully at the prices and was horrified when I realized that I had bought 16oz. of this tea without ever trying it as it was very expensive. However, when I tried it, I was very relieved and happy to discover this wonderful tea. When you compare it to what you pay for a takeout tea or coffee it is not really expensive and a little goes a long way. I also bought the Honeybush, Rooibos, Cozy Carmel Rooibos and the Jasmine Extra Choice at the same time and all were very good.

This tea is very delicious. It reminds me of spring, of freshly cut grass and honeydew melons. It has unique creamy flavor and I would recommend it to everybody.

Out of the 15+ Murchie's teas I’ve tried, this is my absolute favourite and go-to flavour due to its subtle yet pleasant creamy taste. I also love being able to keep the tea for as long as I like. It tastes great hot, warm, or cold, whether freshly steeped or even 24 hours old. If I could only drink one tea for the rest of my life, I would happily choose this milk oolong tea which never fails to soothe my throat, body, and soul.

This is my first milk oolong, purchased at the recommendation of a friend (to try any milk oolong.) I was pleasantly surprised at just how 'milky' this was when smelled in store, as I was skeptical. It smells exactly like condensed milk. I was a little worried when steeped, as initially the aroma had faded and the taste was subtle; even sour. But after cooling down and adding a bit of honey to enhance the sweetness, the tea indeed has a lovely creamy condensed milk flavour, even without milk. Definitely one of my favourite, comfort flavours, with the added benefits of green tea. I love it, and I'm picky. *Special bonus for lactose intolerance.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
