This is the Gardenia Oolong Milk Tea ($7.90, iced, 70% sugar, less ice) from Molly Tea, featuring a blend of gardenia-scented green tea with Jianshan oolong, combined with fresh milk.
The lightly roasted oolong was immediately noticeable at the beginning of each sip, followed by the softer, more delicate notes of the gardenia-scented green tea emerging mid-sip. The creamy, floral quality of the Jinxuan oolong complemented the milk, creating a smooth and rounded mouthfeel. The grassy undertones of the green tea base added a subtle fruitiness to the gardenia notes, which were fragrant but less intense than the jasmine milk tea. The finish was clean and vibrant.
Overall, this milk tea offered a well-balanced integration of floral and tea aromas, with a substantial yet mellow oolong character. A well-executed floral milk tea worth repurchasing.
This Gardenia Oolong Milk Tea was purchased from Molly Tea in Sydney, Australia in March 2025.
