Milk Oolong

A smooth and creamy oolong tea with a naturally rich aroma and a velvety texture. Delicate notes of sweet milk, fresh orchids, and buttery pastry create a comforting and elegant cup with a long, mellow finish

The cream is grown, not added. Milk oolong is made from Jin Xuan - Taiwan No. 12, a cultivar released in 1981 that long ago crossed into mainland gardens. Ours comes from Yunnan and Fujian: lightly oxidised leaf rolled into tight green pearls, with no milk or flavouring at any stage - the buttery note belongs to the bush itself. That is also how we buy it: every lot is brewed gongfu style before it reaches the shelf, and if the cream note doesn't hold through four to six steeps, softening into orchid and pastry, the lot doesn't pass.
