Milky Oolong

Prized for its milky scent and taste, our Milk Oolong is produced by hand in the Fujian Province of China, within the Prefecture of Quanzhou. These hand-rolled leaves are a rich olive-green color and brew up into a beautiful golden liquor. This relatively new cultivar of tea has a distinctive mellow, buttery flavor and is highly sought after by tea aficionados and newcomers alike. Milk Oolong contains a low to moderate amount of caffeine (less than half that of a cup of coffee).

Tasting notes: This tea is soft and buttery, with a creamy mouthfeel, floral and vegetal notes, and a lightly acidic finish

Leaves: Tightly rolled olive green leaves

Milk Oolong is also sometimes referred to as Golden Lily tea. While there are myths and stories of Milk Oolong tea leaves actually being steeped or rinsed in milk in order to achieve their unique taste, Milk Oolong doesn’t contain milk (or any other dairy product.) 

Our Milk Oolong is made up of tightly rolled tea leaves with a rich, intoxicating aroma. While Milk Oolong brews up clear with a light, golden hue, it has a distinctive milky taste with floral notes and a tangy, buttery finish. Like many oolongs, our Milk Oolong can be infused more than once, with the flavors changing and developing over time. Because Milk Oolong can be infused multiple times without losing its distinctive taste, it’s a great tea to enjoy over the course of an afternoon, allowing you to savor the subtly different flavors of each infusion. Whether you’re a long-time oolong lover or are just looking for something new, our Milk Oolong is sure to hit the spot!

You should use approximately one teaspoon of tea leaves for every cup (arround 200ml). Heat water until it is steaming but not boiling and has reached a temperature of about 195 degrees. Infuse your tea for two to three minutes, then enjoy!
