China MILKY OOLONG
HALF-FERMENTED TEA
Description
Probably one of the most unusual tea specialties in terms of production as well as character is produced almost entirely by hand in the Province of Fujian. You’ll encounter lots of legends about this tea that creates a firework of flavours on your palate. An excellent Oolong-tasting tenderly sweet with a note of creamy milk. There are lots of legends told about the production process. Immediately after withering the still moist leaves are heated shortly in milk water steam, which conserves the pretty, lightly olive-green leaf and cup colour and invokes the distinct creamy scent and taste. Subsequently, the leaves are rolled manually and dried. An extremely mellow tea, which we are sure, will quickly win over many new lovers.
