Milk Oolong is a green oolong tea scented with subtle, natural milk flavors to accent the sweet profile. The tea has a fresh, sweet, creamy flavor and a smooth, full texture. It has the beautiful flowery fragrance that is typical of Taiwanese oolong. The aroma and aftertaste are long-lasting, and there is a soothing cool sensation in the throat.

The Jin Xuan cultivar, meaning "Golden Lily", was developed in Taiwan in the 1980s to make a soft and creamy tea. Different cultivars have their own unique qualities.

Recommended for dessert lovers and the tea-drinking sweet tooth. Also a perfect gift for the novice tea drinker, or to help replace a milk and sugar tea habit.
