Baking over hardwood charcoal is slow, manual and increasingly rare, because the baker has to judge the fire by hand across repeated bakes with weeks of rest between. What it produces is a tea of a completely different order: the florals fold down into caramel, roasted chestnut and dark honey, the body thickens, and the tea will keep improving for years in a sealed tin. The fire is never tasted — a good charcoal bake leaves no smoke, only depth.
Milk Oolong itself comes from Nantou, Taiwan-style cultivar grown in Fujian, grown as jin xuan (ttes #12), at 900 m. This lot is that same tea, handled and graded as described above — the leaf, the mountain and the maker do not change, only the picking window and the price.

We dispatch within 48 hours of your order, from our warehouse in China, with tracking on every parcel.
We do not quote a delivery date. Once a parcel leaves us it is carried by an international courier and cleared by customs in your country, and a date we cannot control is a date we will not promise. The tracking number, which you get when the label is created, shows every scan to your door.
Shipping is complimentary on orders over CAD 79.00$; below that a flat CAD 9.50$ applies. HST (13%) is calculated at checkout. Duties and import taxes are the recipient's responsibility.
Unopened tins can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If a tea is not to your taste, tell us — we would rather send you something you like than keep the money.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club and China UnionPay through our payment provider's local card gateway, protected by 3-D Secure 2 authentication. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment in your banking app or with a one-time code.
Card details are entered on our checkout and transmitted directly to the payment provider over TLS. They are never written to our database — we only keep the card brand and the last four digits so you can recognise the charge on your statement. All prices are in CAD.
