Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is semi-oxidized, meaning it is in between black tea and green tea. Oolong teas do not have the grassy flavor of green tea, but aren't as strong as black tea. Oolongs have some of the most complex and labor intensive processing methods, which gives them perhaps some of the most prized and unique flavor profiles of all tea groups.

Milk Oolong (Jin Xuan / Nai Xiang / #12)
Oolong Tea

Each sip of this oolong tea brings to mind buttery pastries and sweet custard. Milk Oolong is naturally rich and creamy without any dairy added. The 'milky' flavor comes from a process of withering the tea leaves overnight in a temperature controlled room that is cool but humid. The result is a tea unlike any other, with a silky mouth feel and notes of cream and honey. Milk Oolong tea leaves can be steeped multiple times and each brew will have a subtly different flavor profile.
