"Olong Original Flavor Tea," the tea shop located next to Hanoi University of Home Affairs, stands out in the world of milk tea. Unlike its contemporaries, which often rely on syrupy concoctions to mimic fruit flavors, this establishment is a refreshing departure from the norm. Here, the essence of oolong tea leaves takes center stage, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
Space
This tea haven boasts two spacious and inviting floors, offering patrons a choice of cool and comfortable seating options. What's particularly delightful is the second-floor seating, which provides a charming view of the bustling street below. For those who prefer the open air, there's an outdoor space adorned with low chairs and tables, allowing customers to savor their tea in the embrace of nature.
Walking into this tea restaurant, you are immediately enveloped in an aura of gentle luxury. The decor exudes simplicity yet sophistication, creating an ambiance of tranquility that's perfect for unwinding. Wooden tables and chairs provide a touch of rustic elegance, while every table is adorned with a small potted plant, adding a touch of nature to the setting. The walls are adorned with tasteful pictures of teas, celebrating the essence of this delightful establishment. In one corner, you'll find pots used for brewing tea.
Heaven of original tea
In a world that witnessed the "golden age" of cloyingly sweet and intensely flavored milk teas from 2015 to 2019, with names like Dingtea, Chago, Gongcha, Tubo, Toco toco dominating the scene, "Olong Original Flavor Tea" arrives as a game-changer. It marks the resurgence of the robust tea flavor, taking the throne in the market. The shop's most striking feature is its commitment to using rich, natural, and high-quality tea, completely eschewing the industrial ingredients that have become all too common.
I had the pleasure of sampling two of the shop's best-selling teas: the Original Oolong Tea and the Milk Jasmine Oolong Tea.
The standout feature of these teas is their bold and authentic tea flavor, devoid of any hint of artificiality.
To top it all off, the prices here are incredibly reasonable, with cups of tea averaging around 1.5 to 2 dollars. For the quality of tea and the serene atmosphere provided, it's a true bargain.
I quite regretted not reading their menu carefully, some other special and unique teas I will try when I visit next time: sugarcane coffee, coconut coffee, cashew milk tea oolong, milk oolong lotus, almond coconut milk olong along with cheese pearls and tea pearls.
The milk teas served at this establishment are a testament to the authenticity of the tea experience. They're not just tea-flavored; they are tea-centric. The tea flavor is bold but not bitter, carrying a slightly astringent note reminiscent of well-brewed tea. This essence harmoniously melds with the creamy, fatty milk, creating an unforgettable aftertaste that leaves you yearning for more. It's a flavor profile that can be downright addictive for those who appreciate the art of tea.
The allure of these flavorful milk teas extends beyond their exquisite taste. Thanks to the concentrated tea content, they have the remarkable ability to keep you awake, sometimes even leading to what enthusiasts affectionately term "tea drunk" the next day. Typically brewed from oolong tea, these drinks offer a unique aroma combined with a subtle astringency, followed by a gradual sweetness that lingers on the palate.
Importantly, the quality of the tea is paramount, and "Olong Original Flavor Tea" sources only the finest teas from reputable suppliers. They are brewed with precision, ensuring that each cup carries the ideal blend of tea and milk, striking a balance between strength and bitterness. Many patrons have noted that savoring these rich milk teas allows them to appreciate the true essence of the tea more profoundly than traditional milk teas.
Highly recommend
In a market once dominated by the saccharine and overpowering, "Olong Original Flavor Tea" has emerged as a beacon of tea purity. Its dedication to preserving the integrity of oolong tea leaves has rekindled the love for strong tea-flavored milk teas. As we enter a new era in the world of milk tea, this shop is undoubtedly leading the way, promising an unforgettable tea-drinking experience that will leave your taste buds yearning for more.
