Milk Oolong Description:
Milk Oolong is a relatively new cultivar in the delicious world of Oolong teas and is prized for its inherent cream and butter notes. These lightly roasted, rolled leaves yield a light-bodied cup with sweet buttery texture and delicate floral aroma.
Also called Jin Xuan or Golden Lily, it is an ideal candidate for multiple infusions in a dedicated Yixing teapot. The first three infusions of this tea will have slight milky scent, whereas this scent will gradually reduce for the next cups.
