China Milky Oolong

Do you like to drink your tea with a dash of milk? This softens the taste and rounds it off perfectly. If so, then this Oolong would be just the right tea for you.

The "Milky Oolong" has its origins in the Chinese province of Fujian and owes its name to its unique, milky aroma. After fermentation, the tea leaves undergo a specially developed process: before the leaves are rolled, they are heated over the steam of boiling milk. The high temperatures expand the pores of the tea leaves and thus absorb the aroma of the creamy milk.

Ingredients: semi-fermented tea, flavouring (lactose).
