Milk Oolong Tea. This lightly oxidized tea is renowned for its creamy, smooth and buttery taste. It is a perfect everyday tea, and you can enjoy it anytime – be it in the morning, afternoon or evening. However, with so many variations of Milk Oolong tea available, it can be overwhelming to choose one that perfectly suits your tastebuds.

 

Understand the Origin and Cultivation of Milk Oolong Tea:

Milk Oolong tea has its roots in Taiwan and Fujian, China. It is made from semi-oxidized Camellia Sinensis leaves that are grown in high-altitude mountain regions. The unique taste and aroma of Milk Oolong come from the natural chemical compound present in the tea leaves, which is unique to this particular variety of tea. Make sure to check the origin and cultivation process of the Milk Oolong tea before purchase, as it impacts the flavour and quality of the tea.


Look for Milk Oolong Tea with the Right Degree of Roasting:

The degree of roasting plays a crucial role in determining the flavour of Milk Oolong tea. A light degree of roasting produces a buttery and floral taste, while a high degree of roasting creates a nutty and rich taste. Choose the degree of roasting according to your taste preference. At Genuine Tea, you can choose from our Oolong collection, including Ginseng Oolong, Organic Roasted Iron Goddess, and Organic Wu Yi Rock.


Quality Tea Leaves are Key:

Quality is a top priority when choosing Milk Oolong tea. Make sure to choose tea leaves that are fresh and from a reputable source to ensure you are getting the best possible quality. Fresh tea leaves brew better-tasting tea with rich aromas and flavours. We at Genuine Tea source our tea directly from tea farmers who employ sustainable and ethical practices from all over the world, ensuring we are bringing you the best quality tea.


Experiment and Explore Different Brewing Methods:

To find the perfect Milk Oolong tea that suits your taste, it is essential to experiment with different brewing methods. You can find helpful brewing tips on our website or simply by speaking to our tea experts. Some prefer to steep the tea for a shorter time to ensure a light taste, while others prefer a stronger brew with a longer steeping time. Play around with different temperatures, steeping times, and even different blends to find the perfect Milk Oolong tea for your taste palate.


Personalize your Milk Oolong Tea:

Finally, personalize your Milk Oolong tea by adding a personal touch to the brewing process. You can add a spoonful of honey for sweetness, a dash of lemon to bring out the tea's floral notes, or even try it as a latte by adding steamed milk. Create your personalized cup of Milk Oolong tea and enjoy the ultimate tea experience.

 

There you have it – five essential tips for choosing the perfect Milk Oolong tea for your taste palate.
