Outstanding
Left this unopened for a 12 months to let it mature a little more. I was slightly sceptical given the price and and proliferation of "Milk" Oolongs now on the market, many are very poor indeed and indicate "lactose" as a possible allergen - not a good sign. However this tea really lived up to my (very high) expectations. First brew is, as expected, a little "green", still very pleasing but subsequent brews bring out the mild, luxurious, caramel flavour. Sweet and nuanced, smooth and creamy, a rare and rewarding find.
Taiwanese Gold
If there was one tea I would recommend out of all the Rare Tea Co offerings it is Taiwanese Golden Milk Lily. The sweet fragrance of the first washes of it and the complex flavours of the later ones are quite amazing. I have often given it as a present and can think of no better example of just how amazing rare tea can be. Pure gold.
Update from 15th August
Since I first bought this I just left it in the tin for 3 months and it now taste lovely. It has a nice smooth mouth feel. Nice floral buttery notes - very pleasant. Do 4 stars now.
Okay
Good milky feel. Infusions 1-3 have rather heavy vegetal pea-shoot flavour and slight roasted note. This subsides by infusion 4 giving a more creamy oolong with balanced astringency and grip.
Lovely, lovely
Subtle but satisfying, milky and subtly sweet. This was my favorite of the oolong sampler, so will buy in 50g pouch. Buy this. Do not be fooled by other vendors (especially in the US) who sell Milk Tea (in BAGS with Milk flavouring... are you kidding me?) This Golden Lily Milk Oolong is the best- it is pure and the real deal.
