Milky Oolong is from Taiwan, using the Jim Suang cultivar
and is produced at a high mountain level (over 3500 feet) and requires a very
precise processing. This is a greenish Oolong - partially oxidized (around 12%)
with a natural slight milky taste (not artificially induced). Very smooth
finish and milder than the Pouchong and not so grassy. Drinkable all day.
More expensive than many teas it has the advantage that you
can get at least 3 infusions that makes it much cheaper by the cup
- 2 ounce bag amkes approximately 15 cups - mutiple infusions

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.
Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.
The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:
• Dry leaves appearance • Dry aroma • Brewed Infusion Color • Aroma brewed • Hot taste • Iced taste • After taste
