Taiwanese Milk (Jin Xuan) Premium Loose Leaf Oolong Tea - Chiswick Tea Co - 100g Tin

This appears expensive, but you get a lot of pots out of it (about 50 for me I’d guess). The flavour is good and natural- without the fake milk taste that you sometimes get, and there are few stalks or bits of leaf dust. Worth the money in my opinion.

I really do not understand any negative reviews, this oolong tea is a joy to experience.The smell once you open the packet alone tells you this is good stuff. I can only describe it as being like malted milk biscuits meets popcorn. It is unique!The great thing is the taste exceeds the amazing aroma of this tea. It has a very smooth pleasant taste with very little astringency. I steeped the leaves four times over in my glass teapot and found this a very easy tea to brewI am glad I ordered this, much gratitude and highly recommended!

I have read a few reviews on here and I’d like to say first off that this tea is from Taiwan (says it right on the packet lol). What I was worried about when I chose this tea is that it would be an imitated, artificially scented 'Milk Oolong’. We want to stay well away from those, I am pleased to say this (in my opinion) is not.I would hazard a guess that the elevation is around 1200 - 1400, which is ideal, however as it is not stated it is hard to say.The packet gives directions for western style brewing which I am not a fan of and point blank refuse to do. So if you brew western style my review will be basically useless to you as we will essentially be drinking very different teas. The water is heated to 95 and I have around 5-6 grams per 100g in a Gaiwan.I was able to get 5 good infusions from this tea. The base notes was of course milky/creamy due the tea leaf being naturally rich in lactones.When I first opened the packet I was hit with a powerful wonderful creamy, malted milk biscuity aroma. The leaves are dark green in colour and of course tightly rolled. The wet leaf has luxurious creamy scent and the smell you get when you breathe in the fresh dewy mountain air.The liquor is exactly as it should be which is a pale yellow (obviously darker depending on your brew time - be aware of astringency when over brewing….)It is buttery, creamy, and malty, thick in texture with and clean fresh after taste. I would say it has a creamy and slightly floral scent in the empty cup and the leaves are a lovely green and most importantly whole leaf! No broken leaves here!The tea on the whole is wonderful and for the price perfect. I would like to say that I was pleasantly surprised given the price range. I have of course had better quality tea however the price increases with that; which should be taken into consideration when purchasing. On the whole it was beautiful and I will require more soon

Absolutely stunning tea. Received this today (very promptly) packaged well, and appeared to be vacuum packed which is always a good thing. This is unlike any other green tea you have tasted before! I was actually blown away by it, expecting a "milky taste" but boy was I wrong. If you didn't look at the cup and tasted it, you would actually think it was a milky cup of normal tea, there was no bitterness, just a smooth creamy cup of delicious tea with a slight hint of sweetness and caramel.Really outstanding, and this tea is definitely going to be a regular purchase from now on, no shadow of a doubt. P.S I didn't even strain this, I just plopped them in a cup and there was no floating bits around the cup at all!5/5

Firstly, let me just say that I'm somebody who has lived in China for 5 years previously. I am a passionate tea drinker, and pride myself on being fairly knowledgeable about Chinese teas.I have previously had "milk oolong" tea from other sellers, and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was an amazing fragrance to the brewed tea, and there was a wonderful creaminess on the palate, which was very much akin to a milky biscuity aroma. It's been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to get my hands on some of this tea, so needless to say, I was excited to receive my order. Sadly, when I opened my tea, and smelled the leaves, I was sorely disappointed that they had no aroma. Even after brewing, the resulting tea lacked any real flavour. The first brewing had a light oolong taste, but certainly not the wonderful creamy texture and thickness of other milk oolongs. Subsequent brewings yielded incredibly weak tea, which should not be the case with a good quality oolong. It should yield a good few brewings, not just one.This, coupled with the fact the tea is labelled on the package as coming from Fujian (mainland China), while authentic milk oolongs should perhaps be sourced in Taiwan. This leads me to think this tea is a cheaper variety of artificially scented milk oolong produced en masse in mainland China, as opposed to the oolongs flavoured by natural soil, air and temperature conditions grown in Taiwan. Had the product description mentioned it was from Fujian and not Taiwan, I would not have purchased it.

I am not socialist in oolung tea but I have to say this tea is very nice. Mild in taste with very nice aftertaste and aroma.

The tea is light, delicate, and refreshing. Nothing like the one I'd tried before, which was much more buttery and green (presumably a Chinese version with various flavour enhancements, but I liked that too). The brew is a light yellow colour with no residue floating at the top at all. Goes well with honey. So, I like it. What I didn't like is the fact I paid for a tin and got a pouch instead. Not pleased.

I have tried my Milk Oloong tea from Chiswick Tea Co ( it was my first Milk Oloong tea). Have to say, that its have a such a strong and delightful taste. All my friends keep asked me where have i bought this tea :)When tea finished i decide to try a cheaper brands of Milk Oloong from Chinese origin and it's absolutely different taste, not so strong and after 2 minutes in cup its getting disappeared. Of course it is a bit price, then to buy from other suppliers, but believe me , it's worth every penny.
