Lesson 6 of 9 · Knowing the base teas

Milky Cloud Oolong Tea

Clear milky aroma, soft sweet taste, smooth finish

Vietnamese name on the menu and cup label: Trà Oolong Mây Sữa.

What this drink is

An oolong base. Scented with a milky note.

Remember this so you never mix it up

Take this with you. This tea has a MILKY AROMA even in the no-milk version. Many guests get confused here and think the Trà Original (the plain tea version, no milk) has milk in it too.

Telling the guest

A thin layer of milky aroma over a light oolong. Soft, silky and smooth, not too rich.

Who it suits

• Guests new to tea
• Guests who like a soft, easy taste
• Guests who want milk tea but lighter

Describe it with the words soft, silky, smooth. Don't use the word creamy, because this tea already has a milky aroma on its own, and saying creamy as well makes guests picture something far heavier than it is.
