Since its inception in the early 1980’s, this variety of Taiwanese oolong, also known as “Golden Daylily”, has captivated tea drinkers around the world. This strain and its subsequent additive-free processing makes for a delightfully aromatic and creamy cup (hence the moniker “milk”). This is an unscented/unflavored tea. Pure growing area, pure leaf and expert processing all come together to make for a rich tea experience.
The dry leaf smells sweet and fruity. The hot rinse really opens up the aromatics of the hand-crafted leaf, bringing out more of the fruitiness, more of the sweetness and the buttery, creamy scent. Once brewed, we get a tea liquor that is so soft, so smooth and creamy with a delicate, floral aroma. Rich in complexity and an aftertaste that lingers and dances about on the palate.
