Lovely tea & great company to deal with. Found them first at a local market, now this is my first online order. Milk Oolong has subtle green flavour with a pleasant buttery finish. Now I’ve found the game changing mug & strainer and these super teas I’ve completely ditched regular dusty tea bags!

Absolutely delicious. This is the second time I have brought this tea. The first time was at Aylesford Market where the seller asked me what my preferences were, and guided me to a few different teas. All of them were delicious, with Milk Oolong being mine (and my daughters) favourite. I now order online and find the Proper Tea Company good value for money as the packs do last a long time and the quality of the tea is top notch It is important to follow the directions for water temperature and brew time. I used to make my green or herbal tea with my husband's 'builders' tea. Some guidance from the seller now means I wait a moment for the water to cool to the right temperature before adding it to the leaves. That makes a big difference to the flavour especially for green tea. My other favourite tea is the Black Gunpowder.

Brewing Oolong Tea
Use about 1 level teaspoon per cup (adjust according to taste).
Add water that is around 80-90°C.
Allow to brew for 2-3 mins and be careful not to over brew.
Oolong teas traditionally come from Taiwan and China but other tea growing countries are now also producing Oolong style teas.
Oolong teas sit between Green and Black teas as the processing allows a degree of oxidation to take place. Some Oolongs are oxidised to as much as 85% giving way to more woody, rich fruity characteristics. Whilst some Oolongs receive as little as 5% oxidation and would easily pass for a green tea; they can be fresh, sweet, soft and buttery.
