tea
Originaire de la même variété de théier que le célèbre Tie Guan Yin, ce oolong est prometteur !
Sa faible fermentation donne un thé floral, rond et gras en bouche, au bouquet frais et végétal relayé par des notes de fruits jaunes.

full flavour
Somehow the idea of fat and the idea of tea make strange bedfellows (unless you're in Tibet, or even in the UK and you put Jersey milk in it)

fat mouthfeel
'With it's full body and fat mouth-feel, this tea did remind us of a plump Chinese Buddha. There's a little pepper spicing up the rich, well rounded flavor.'

'Rich', 'well-rounded' and 'buttery', as suggested by SafeTex, are also good alternatives for tea tasting.

: I would go for 'buttery' rather than fat mouth-feel though

buttery
Fat mouthfeel is on Internet much to my surprise but I wouldn't use it when trying to delicately and positively describe the taste of a tea.
I've seen other comments following mine so I'd like to put 'buttery' up there in spite of the problem of not knowing if it is taste or texture

Thick mouth feel
This is one idea taken from an actual "tea tasting" guideline from a well known tea brand. (The article itself is also very descriptive and may give other ideas you could consider)
"A strong, uncomplicated tea which reflects its ‘single origin’ status. A lovely, THICK MOUTH FEEL with more fruit at its heart than English Breakfast."

I think your "creamy" is probably best.
for a very good discussion about 'gras en bouche'
More difficult to say though if it is a buttery taste or texture that this tea gives though
