ARIEL Milk
Oolong Tea
ARIEL Milk is a lightly oxidised whole leaf oolong available in a 1 kg bulk format, Kosher certified and dairy-free despite its name. The milky aroma develops naturally during processing, creating a smooth, buttery character without any dairy ingredients. An accessible oolong well suited to café and retail programmes.
Tasting Notes
The cup is a bright golden-yellow, lighter and clearer than darker oxidised oolongs in the range. The character is smooth and gently floral with a cool, creamy finish – the defining quality of the Milk Oolong style. The twisted leaf style opens fully in the cup, yielding a clean, consistent infusion with low bitterness.
