T2 Milky Oolong

Well now, this IS interesting. It’s quite a golden oolong, but you wouldn’t necessarily know it was oolong at all - it’s almost light enough to be white tea. The “milky” flavouring is caramel-scented, with a fudgy, dairy, buttery taste that leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste.

I might have spent more time sniffing it than drinking it. Definitely to be brewed as suggested at 80 degrees and not 100.

Finally got to the UK T2 store. Incredibly helpful staff, and I stocked up on the lovely London Breakfast (80% Assam, 10% Lapsang and I forget what the rest is - but the staff stay it blends well with Melbourne Breakfast too), as well as filling our empty tins of the light, sweet Darjeeling and my favourite evening cuppa, low-caffeine Daintree. I look forward to trying the Milky Oolong.

We also sampled Strawberries & Cream ice tea in store - the colour and flavour of boiled sweets, but no less refreshing for that.
