Description

Milk Oolong, where to begin? Do we tell you the legends of how it came into existence? Do we tell you how it is actually
produced? Do we wax poetic about its luscious flavor? Well, maybe we should do all 3. We’ll start with a legend. The
stories of this tea naturally centre on its wonderful milky flavor, which interestingly, is the result of a sudden shift in
temperature during harvest – a rare occurrence to say the least. One of the many legends explains that the first time this shift
occurred was centuries ago when the moon fell in love with a comet passing through the night sky. The comet, as all comets
are wont to do, passed by, burned out and vanished. The moon, in her sorrow caused a great wind to blow through the hills
and valleys bringing about a quick drop in temperature. The next morning, local tea pluckers went out to collect their fresh
leaf. To their surprise, when the tea was processed it had developed an amazing milky character, which was attributed to the
motherly character of the old moon. (Hey, it’s possible!)
