How do you brew Milky Oolong?​

To enjoy Milky Oolong to the fullest, it is important to know the best way to brew this tea. Below are some brewing instructions and tips to prepare the perfect cup of Milky Oolong.

Time:

Let the Milky Oolong tea steep for 3-4 minutes. If you let the tea steep longer, it can lead to a bitter taste. To adjust the tea to your own taste, you can vary the steeping time between 2-5 minutes.

Infuse repeatedly:

Milky Oolong is a tea that can be infused several times. You can reuse the tea leaves 2-3 times depending on your taste preference. Please note that the taste may change with each infusion, allowing you to discover different flavor notes.

Serve:

After steeping, pour the tea into a preheated teacup to prevent the tea from cooling down too quickly. Take the time to enjoy the aroma and taste of the tea.
