Ingredients
100 % Milk OolongBrew & Taste
Milk Oolong has a pleasant milky taste. Many people identify the usual nutty hints of oolong. The aroma is sweet. When brewed, the tea gives a yellow-green color and a wonderfully delicate aroma.
Origins
The so-called semi-fermentation is a trait unique to oolongs. They are therefore also called blue-green or semi-green teas. The leaves of Chinese tea trees are harvested up to five times a year in Taiwan. The harvest takes place from April to December. After that comes a special process that gives the tea leaves their typical milk-like aroma, in which are steeped in a milk steam. The farmers then pour them into special containers with milk essence and steep them repeatedly. The tea then goes into large bamboo baskets where it is shaken vigorously. This wrinkles and distorts the leaves, triggering the natural oxidation of the enzymes. Depending on the variety, they are left to this chemical process for varying lengths of time. Oolongs are most often fermented somewhere between 8-85%. The percentage of fermentation determines the resulting colour, aroma and caffeine content.
In Taiwan, tea gardens are found in virtually every region. Oolongs are most commonly exported from the Nantou region, where Chinese tea trees are grown on the mountainsides. They provide ideal soil and climatic conditions. Taiwanese oolongs cover about 20% of the world's production of these unique teas.
