Milk Oolong is a uniquely processed type of Oolong tea that is revered by tea coinsseurs 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.

Crème de la crème Review by Angelie
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.

Flavour Profile Guide
Tea and coffee tasting is a very individual, multi-dimensional experience: one person’s perfect cup can be too strong or weak, too brisk or watery for the next person. At Murchie’s, we believe that the best tea or coffee is the one that YOU like the best! We use the following flavour profile guides to help compare our teas and coffees within a relative scale.
Tea Strength Ratings
This rating method indicates the strength of flavour each tea has when brewed according to our brewing guide.
RATING |
RATING PROFILE |
|
|
Light/Delicate: Very light in colour and delicate in flavour | |
|
Medium: Medium-light cup with slightly fuller cup | |
|
Medium-Strong: Medium-dark cup, medium body, and full flavour without harshness | |
|
Strong: Full body, rich cup, takes milk well | |
|
Very Strong: Rich, dark cup with very full, strong flavour and briskness |
Coffee Ratings
We rate the flavour properties of our coffees along two dimensions: roast and body.
Roast is simply a result of how long and how hot the beans have been roasted, which can be seen in the colour of the finished bean, and typically results in general flavour traits:
| Light Roast | More acidity, brightness and a slight pucker | |
| Medium Roast | Slightly richer flavours, some acidity, enhanced creaminess | |
| Dark Roast | Distinctive roasted flavour, sometimes notes of toasted sugar or charcoal |
Body is the term used to describe how the brewed coffee feels in your mouth:
| Light Body | Easy to drink with little lingering flavour, ‘thin’ or ‘clean’ feeling on the palate | |
| Medium Body | Heavier, creamier mouth-feel with more lingering flavour | |
| Full Body | Rich, full-mouth feeling: hits all of the palate and lingers |
Tea Brewing Guide
Different types of teas should be brewed 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 (2.5g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240ml) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Brew times shown in minutes.
Coffee Brewing Guide
The simplest methods for brewing coffee are drip coffee, pour over and French press. These guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste. If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer – or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour over method: hot water is gradually poured over coffee grounds and slowly drips through
- Fine to medium grind coffee
- 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water
- Coarse grind coffee
- 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup (e.g. 4-6 tbsp for a 4-cup French press)
- Pour about 1/3 of the water over the coffee grinds; wait about 30 seconds and then pour in the rest
- Wait 4-5 minutes, then push down the plunger to separate the grounds from finished coffee, and enjoy!
