Description
Milk Oolong Tea is a rare and unique Oolong Tea from Taiwan (Formosa). Its leaves experience a period of semi-oxidation and fermentation to create an infusion deemed “in-between” Green and Black Tea in terms of characteristics.
More curiously, it has a creamy profile similar to milk. We’re the best Milk Oolong Tea UK and worldwide suppliers, renowned for packing our products fresh to order.
What is Milk Oolong Tea?
Despite its name, Milk Oolong Tea has nothing to do with dairy in any way, shape, or form. The truth is that it derives from a specific cultivar of the Camellia sinensis (Tea) plant known as Jin Zuan.
First developed in Taiwan in the 1980s, this subspecies produces a milk-like flavour after being lightly baked. The false notion that the leaves are heated in milk water steam has been disproven.
What Does Oolong Milk Tea Taste Like?
Lactose-intolerant individuals can rejoice, as Milk Oolong Tea is 100% safe to drink. But what, exactly, can you expect from it when you brew? The Loose Tea has a sweet and surprisingly floral aroma.
Meanwhile, Oolong Milk Tea’s taste is often described as creamy and almost buttery in nature. Better still is that it is a low-calorie choice, enabling you to indulge without the unwanted guilt.
Does Milk Oolong Tea Have Caffeine?
Whether you need a pick-me-up in the morning or a last-minute energy boost at night, you’ve decided exceptionally well here. It turns out that Milk Oolong Tea’s caffeine content amounts to about 37-mg per serving - less than Black Tea but more than Green Tea.
