Possibly the most delicious tea I have ever tasted. Floral, slight fruit notes, all soft and round and blended. Zero astringency. Leaves a soft floral aftertaste. AMAZING.
Very enjoyable. Has a delight aroma and a milky taste. Definitely worth a try.
I really like the taste of this tea. This is one of my favourite. I could not forget about it.
I have been a faithful drinker of Jin Juan milk oolong for years. I thought I would try Guangzhou Milk Oolong, just to see. I am VERY happy I did. This is a wonderful creamy, butter, milky oolong. It brews well, and I am able to brew the same leaves 3 times each, getting a distinct flavor from each brewing: all very good. My favorite is the 2nd brew! I will make sure this is always in my cupboard from now on.

Excellent milky tea. My favorite and better quality than the cheaper one on this site. Highly recomend
Here is very mixed reviews.
For me this tea is nice. It is floral, refreshing but you can also smell and taste the lactose.
So dont expect milky, buttery sweet tea but floral tee with lactose. Is very nice tea

An incredibly intense and delicate aroma with sensations of creamy milk mixer with smoky tea aromas. Actually more pleasant to smell than to taste. In the mouth it returns less structured sensations, being more flat than what the smell would suggest. In short, more smoke and less substance. I'm glad I tried it, it is a very good thea, but Taiwanese Milk Jin Xuan remains my favorite Oolong milk.
This tea doesn’t lose its flavour with multiple infusions, like some cheaper milk oolongs. The smell is of dulce de leche very intoxicating and heavy on the flavour, which is good! It’s not too much. I would Prefer tea with a bit more body to go with the lovely flavour and that’s the only reason for 4/5 . The flavour/smell was to die for!

Dry smell is very pleasant but doesn’t translate when brewed. Its ok. No surprise that it’s flavored. I’ll keep looking for true jin Xuan cultivar for milk oolongs. Not a terrible tea i get several steeps out of it.
I prefer Tealyra's other milk oolongs. I don't find the taste of this tea to be milky or buttery. Tastes more artificial (or maybe floral, if I'm generous) to me. I threw my bag away after the first taste. Love the organic milk Jin Xuan Supreme, though!
It's okay as for oolong, but it most definitely doesn't taste like milk oolong at all. This is very disappointing as I love milk oolongs and read some very positive reviews before buying. I shouldn't have ignored the critical ones as they very 100% true. This smells milky but when you actually make tea it has nothing to do with a typical milk oolong flavour.
The tea is fairly strong and gives off a lot of flavour on the second and third go, even though I typically don't do that with other oolongs as they become too subtle for my taste.
My experience of this tea is not aligned with the other reviews here. I find it very light, and not creamy and rich flavour. It tastes herbal. I wonder if the wrong tea was packaged as milk oolong?
It's an okay tea. I agree that it doesn't taste like other milk oolongs. It is more floral with a berry after taste. Won't be keeping this in the rotation.
Honestly this tea appears to be scented. The floral flavors are not very natural tasting. I like many of the oolongs from this company but I would not recommend this tea for those looking for natural, subtle flavors.
So disappointed that all of the milk oolongs from tealyra have either actual milk or "milk essence" added in. I used to LOVE this tea because I could have that milk flavour again but now it turns my stomach (I'm lactose intolerant and have IBS). Please bring back a dairy and additive free milk oolong ????
I also found this tea really artificial tasting and smelling. And according to other sources its a myth milk oolong is steeped in milk, its simply a flavour descriptive like wine tasting of blackberries etc.
