Milk Oolong (Winter 2024)

An unroasted oolong harvested in the wintertime for sweetness, and a unique varietal to Taiwan.

Directly translated from Mandarin, jinxuan (金萱) mean golden daylily. However the English name has been affectionately dubbed “milk”. Why? The jinxuan cultivar of the tea plant was developed by the Taiwanese Tea Research & Extension Station (TRES) to produce a creamy, milky aroma with a buttery smooth broth.

Using the Liu family’s special oxidation style, this winter’s harvest of milk oolong is truly an exemplar of the style. With top notes of cream, a hint of fruitiness, and a touch of headiness like wildflowers or daisy in the broth, we know you’ll love this green oolong.
