Milk oolong tea, also known as "Jīn Xuān" (金萱乌龙)tea or Qing Xiang Oolong (清香乌龙), is produced from a unique tea tree cultivar called  "Jīn Xuān" tea plant (金萱茶树) cultivated originally in Táiwān.  This cultivar is grown on mountain slopes at elevations of 1000 to 1500 metres and requires suitable altitude, climate, and soil conditions and sufficient rainfall and cloud cover for optimum tea quality. This smooth-bodied Milk Oolong tea offers a creamy, yet refreshing sensation and a milky sweet aftertaste which will give you the lingering throat sensation called Hou Yun (喉韵) that is highly sought after by connoisseurs. 

“Milk Oolong” was named after the milky aroma and flavour that the tea leaves naturally possess, often described as creamy, smooth and sweet. Milk oolong tea is highly sought after by tea enthusiasts around the world because of its unique taste and aroma, as well as its rarity.  

The milk flavour of the tea is not added artificially but comes from the tea plant itself, which during specific growing conditions, produces a natural lactone compound that gives the tea its characteristic milky aroma and flavour.
