With a sensual silky texture and subtle condensed-milk nuttiness underpinned by orchid, this is one of my most favorite Oolongs. If shorter steeps are used it is good for up to 3 infusions, though after the first the milk character fades and the taste is reminiscent of Superior Ti Kuan Yin [Iron Goddess].
The tea leaves themselves smell so divinely of sweet cream. Like Steven mused above, one could easily be convinced that milk was somehow utilized in the process that produced this delightful tea. Worth every penny, I already have more on order!

"For this tea, the aroma and the flavor are indivisible: like springtime irises and slightly carmelized sweet cream. One could see this flavor infused into a complicated dessert by Gale Gand." OVERALL IMPRESSIONS I do wonder about whether this tea was soaked in some kind of milk, or if they achieved this effect completely naturally. The flavor of this Milk Oolong from Quangzhou is quite singular, and though I’ve used up my sample, I’m already wanting more.
