We searched for a high-quality Milk Oolong for a long time. After conversations and tastings with some of our regular customers, we chose this wonderful tea from Mr. Cai in Bei Shan. He steams his oolong with milk flavoring, which gives it its unique taste.
Taste
Even dry, the Milk Oolong gives off a very sweet and pleasant scent. The milky note comes through intensely and, once brewed, beautifully complements its light, creamy taste.
Origin
This top-quality oolong comes from Mr. Cai’s tea garden in the Taiwanese highlands and is grown at an altitude of around 1,000 meters. It is made from the Jin Xuan (金萱) cultivar, which translates as “golden daylily”.
