Method: 1.5 tsp, 205 degrees, 3 minutes
Dry Leaf Aroma: powdered milk, popcorn topping, butter. Back in the day, my parents used to buy this powdered faux butter popcorn topping. You would pop your corn and sprinkle it on. That's what these tea leaves smell like!
Brewing Aroma: Milky and sweet, with a hint of floral
Flavor: This isn't as creamy as I expected, and the texture is thinner than I thought, but it's still quite good. I'm not sure that milky oolongs are my thing, but I like trying them out. This was even better with some tea biscuits. They gave the whole endeavor a sort of milk and cookies feel.
