I should make more notes to reflect how much I drink this tea. I practically always have a cup on hand now, and my pouch is sadly beginning to run low. I do what I can to make it last, and sometimes stretch the leaves out over the course of a few days- with no ill effects so far! This oolong can go on for +6 steeps without losing any “oomph”, so it seems a waste to cut it short when the day ends.
At this point I definitely know this is the Scented Milk Oolong I want to stock all the time. If I just had this and What-Cha’s Sticky Rice Oolong in my cupboard I’d be content (but I’d also need a few puerhs, a good Chinese black, Silver Needle, Kenyan White Rhino, Matcha, Cream of Earl Grey, a Japanese Sencha…)

Yes! Even I love this one.
I’ve decided that my truly favorite teas aren’t the ones I write about the most often or most descriptively—they’re the ones that cause me to say, “Good grief! My tin is nearly empty. How did that happen?”
That is good stuff! The only flavored tea that I’ve ever really liked, and I like it a lot.
I love how this one manages to appeal across the great straight/flavoured and black/green tea divides! ;)
And I think you’re on to something, gmathis! It’s surely true when it comes to teas I like to re-steep a lot; I tend to write tea notes after I’m done with a session and I don’t like to halt re-steeping my favourite teas, which means less tea notes of favourites!
