What Is Milk Oolong Really?

What Is Milk Oolong Really?

Milk Oolong is a high-quality Chinese oolong with a naturally soft, creamy aroma.
It is not made with milk, cream, or whey. The creamy note comes from a gentle natural flavoring that enhances the tea’s character instead of masking it. We carefully selected both the tea base and the aroma to achieve a clean, smooth taste without artificial sharpness.

Common Myths Explained

Myth 1: “This tea grows in milk.”
Tea bushes grow normally — on mountain slopes, in natural conditions.
The leaves are harvested, withered, fermented, and processed just like any other oolong.
Only after production is a natural creamy aroma added.
If the leaves were actually soaked or grown in milk, they would spoil.

Myth 2: “The leaves are soaked in whey.”
This is impossible in real production:
– whey destroys tea leaves,
– the product would sour,
– it cannot be stored or transported.
Quality Milk Oolong is a flavored oolong — not tea treated with dairy products.

How Authentic Milk Oolong Is Made

– High-mountain oolong is used as the base: dense, healthy, elastic leaves.
– A soft, creamy natural aroma is added at the final drying stage.
– The flavor is mild, creamy, slightly sweet.
– Best reveals itself over 3–4 infusions.
– No “soapy” notes, no cheap candy scent, no chemical harshness.

We tested many samples before choosing a combination that meets our quality standards.
