This tea is similar to Tie Guan Yin in its fresh green taste but cultivated to produce an aroma similar to milk. This aroma is enhance by milk flavoring resulting a rich, buttery tea. There is also slightly less caffeine with this tea than Tie Guan Yin as our Milk Oolong contains some of the stems as well as the leaves.
Also known as Jin Xuan or Golden Lily. Warning: contains milk essence; not advised for those with lactose intolerance.
Bring filtered or spring water to 195°F. Add 1 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 4 minutes.
Infuse a tablespoon of leaves in a small pot for just about a minute. The tea is then re-infused and served 2 or 3 more times. Each infusion yields a different liquor and experience from the proceeding cup.
