Milk Oolong
Apparently the finest Tieguanyin Oolong tea from China.
You would not want to add milk to this tea
TASTING NOTES
Cup: pale yellow-green
Aroma: cream, caramel
Taste: milk, floral, balanced
Finish: smooth, sweet

I found it delicate and definitely with a hint of cream and caramel on top of the mild green tea flavour.
A pleasant afternoon drink
I first came across Newby Teas when looking for a good Peppermint tissane
I was so impressed with their website that I phoned them and asked if they would mind if I took information from their site in order to do some blog posts on tea
They were more than happy and yesterday I received some gifts of tea from them, the above being the first that I have sampled (apart from the Peppermint that I bought and showed in a previous post)
I'll be sharing some very interesting tea history in my next tea post.

I have recently read that OOlong tea is low in caffeine. I wonder if you know anything about this?
This one sounds especially delicious to me.
Now I'll be looking for that Oolong tea. It sounds wonderful !
Though peppermint is not a favorite flavor, I think I could be happy about the "medicinal" effects. How nice of Newby Teas to bless you with some samples. I have enjoyed two pots of proper tea in recent days thanks to you!
Hi Barbara, I have just had a lovely visit with you through your blog and I got caught up on your posts since January: the amazing Dorset house and gardens, the military museum so enjoyed by your grands, the interesting stories about tea that I never tire of learning about, and your walk about and gardening. My latest computer challenge was buying a new battery for my laptop, and my last blogging challenge was setting up a new Blogger profile so that I am once more not a no-reply blogger :-) In spite of all the strange glitches I have with blogging, I really enjoy it, and I am so glad I discovered your blog and that we can visit back and forth through cyberspace. Thanks for posting, Barbara. Praying for blessings for you and yours.
This one sounds delicious. I am going to have to look for this one.
I look forward to more of your post on Tea, I host 4 to 5 tea parties throughout the year and always looking for new tea to introduce.
What a delicious sounding tea!
This tea sounds wonderful, and very pleasant to drink in a fine tea cup with a saucer.
Looking forward to your next tea post.
Audrey.
Barbara, first, I just checked comments on my blog and found several from you that we're awaiting moderation. I don't know why they were held! Thank you for your comments.
Second, this tea sounds delicious.
Third, in Taiwan there is a wonderful tea shop called Smith & Hsu (pronounced Sue). When you are seated you are given a box full of small jars which hold tea leaves of each variety they serve. As I recall there were close to 30 varieties. You could smell each jar and thereby decide which you wanted to order. My favorite was chocolate mint, which I thought sounded very strange for a tea, but it was delicious! Not that you'll ever visit Taiwan, but if you did I am certain you would enjoy Smith & Hsu.
