Tea Information:
Leaf Type: Oolong
Where to Buy: Ducky Life Tea
Company Description:
We named this amazing Oolong for its distinctive buttery aroma and its fascinating taste-rich, smooth, and slightly sweet, with intriguing butter-like overtones. It reminds us of buttered popcorn. The tea, from the high mountains of Taiwan, has broad leaves that brew up beautifully to a light golden color. It’s absolutely delicious! One whiff, one sip, and you know you’ve found something special.
Taster’s Review:
This is an amazingly buttery Oolong! That buttery taste and feel is something that is actually quite typical in “green” Oolong teas, however, with this tea, the butter flavor is amplified. Intense!
The mouthfeel is very smooth and rich. The best way I can think of to describe it is velvety – it feels thick and substantial and soft and luxurious. Like butter!
The tea possesses a faint, slightly sharp floral note that offers a delightful contrast to the smooth buttery taste that dominates this cup. There is also a slightly vegetable taste to it… leafy and green. This is an interestingly complex tea.
Ducky Life Tea offers a truly delightful experience with this tea. From the lovely packaging (what a treat it is to open a package from Ducky Life!) to the exceptional taste of this Oolong, I’m very impressed!
These tightly wound tea leaves also produce multiple infusions… I managed SIX infusions from the same leaves. Six very flavorful, delicious infusions. This tea is definitely worth it’s weight in gold(en) butter!

Tasters Review:
Recently I was introduced to Ducky Life Tea. I really LOVE the “extra things” this company does such as the company name – CUTE, the logo – PRECIOUS, the tins – nice, convenient, handy, and durable…not to mention the packaging – unique and memorable!
Their website is user-friendly and pleasing to the eye. They have great customer service and answered my email very quickly. They have some really nifty gift sets and gift ideas as well!
Then it comes to the tea…
The first Ducky Life Tea I tried was their Richard’s Popcorn-And-A-Movie Oolong and my tea experience really WAS ducky!
I’m not sure if it’s because of the name or it actually smells like this or not…but…
The loose leaf ACTUALLY SMELLS like corn kernels prior to popping! The taste is buttery and the post-infusion aroma smelled even more buttery. Not like buttered veggies like other oolongs, this really did make me think I was in a movie theatre! The buttery scent was more of a butter popcorn – just like the name indicates. The beginning of the sip is sweeter – then it turns a little bit vegetal but it’s a gentle veggie taste. I am honored to add Richard’s Popcorn-And-A-Movie Oolong from Ducky Lie Tea to my stash!
