Chah's Milk Oolong.


I am very surprised by Tea House Emporium's green Pu-Erh. I pretty much gave up on green Pu-Erh. It is quite pleasant if steeping it for 20-30 seconds only. A different tea.

The East India Company's Keemun is Keemun Downy Bud. PekoeTea's Keemun is Finest Keemun Mao Feng Black Tea.
Any of them pekoe? No idea.

Pekoe to describe a basic, medium-grade black tea consisting of many whole tea leaves of a specific size
I don't think that Keemun Downy Bud is whole leaf. Too small. They claim it is Keemun Downy Bud grade A Loose Leaf tea, which is the highest.
I don't understand anything

Btw., finished the cup of Chah's Milk Oolong. I like it. It is less fragrant and less sweet than Tea House Emporium's Milk Oolong. However, after googling it a bit today, it is quite possible that Chah's Milk Oolong is the genuine one, while the other one is artificial.
