The aromatic bright green leaves of this uniquely processed oolong tea create a fine golden brew with a creamy aroma, surprising light milky floral flavor and a round finish. The name of this tea comes from the delicate milk scent of the tea which is brought on by a sudden change of weather during the harvest. This is a high grade of Jin Xuan grown in the northern elevations of Thailand in partnership with Taiwan growers for over 30 years. In spite of its name, this tea contains no milk or dairy flavoring or additives.
How to Prepare Milk (Jin Xuan) Oolong:
Heat water (filtered if possible) to boiling or 212˚F, let it cool to around 180˚F and add one teaspoon loose leaf tea per cup (apprx. 8 ounces). Infuse the tea leaves for 1-2 minutes depending on taste preference. May be infused 2-4 additional times.
Oolong teas are traditionally prepared in smaller earthenware or porcelain tea pots and shared in smaller cups using the pot to brew subsequent infusions. Create your own ceremony or prepare the tea by the cup. Experiment - oolong teas have an incredible range of subtle flavor profiles depending on how they are prepared, how long they are brewed, how pure the water used, etc. and yet they are hardy enough to shine through such a wide range of brewing methods. Everyone finds their own favorite way to prepare and enjoy an exceptional oolong tea.
