"A milk infused oolong from Fujian, China. Each leaf cluster opens
when steeped, releasing a liquor that is unexpectedly light and smooth
for its richness. Rich creaminess reminiscent of buttered popcorn and
caramel"

by milk infused, do they mean prepared with milk? the clerk said it
was steamed in milk or something, leaving the creaminess. i thought he
may be wrong from their website at teahaus.
it is a nice tea i find
i had two infusions from 2g last night, today at work another 2
infusions with same leaves. the taste, colour and smell really stays
present after 4 steepings so far. the leaves do not look oxidized,
like a dark oolong. the liquid is a nice yellow.
i am gald i got the digi scales, cause the 2 g in the ceramic infuser
looked like nothing by volume, covered barely half the bottom of
infuser. by the 2nd steeping the leaf volume filled the infuser of
about 4-5 ounces volume.
i got into tea this year and i have 35 teas at home, trying them all.
this tea is a winner for me, like a stronger yunnan needles white tea,
more green, but still delicate in flavour.
i can't get over the aroma, if as you say it is natural, then this
shows how tea making is such an art form. to be able to have such a
wide variety of pleasures from a leaf, smell, visual, taste, mouth
feel, speaks of the artristry and history involved.
even with the price, given 5 steepings at least, it is still 10cents a
cup or less.
