Milk Oolong is a green oolong from Nantou County, Taiwan. 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.
Scented with natural milk flavor, 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.
It is a popular tea for dessert lovers and the tea-drinking sweet tooth! It is also a perfect gift for the novice tea drinker, or to help replace a milk and sugar tea habit.
How To Brew
Use 3-5 grams (around 1.5 teaspoons) of dry leaf for 8 oz/240mL of water.
Use filtered or spring water, and boil the water. Steep the leaves at 185F/85C - if you don't have a thermometer, you can let the water rest for 5 minutes before steeping.
Steep for 2 minutes. Leaves can be infused at least 3 times.
While these instructions are good to start with, we encourage you to experiment with the tea and develop your own brewing methods. Brew the tea as you like it!
