About this product

A slow afternoon, a small pot, and a conversation that has nowhere else to be. Milk oolong belongs there: curled into small green pearls, it releases a scent closer to warm cream and orchid than to any leaf you would expect from a tea plant.

The cream note is not an additive. It is the character of the Jin Xuan cultivar, a Taiwanese varietal bred in the 1980s for exactly this soft, faintly sweet quality, which appears naturally when the leaf is processed with care. Oolong sits between green and black tea in its oxidation, and the partial withering and rolling that define it have long been treated in Chinese and Taiwanese tea culture as a craft worth unhurried attention. In hot water the pearls unfurl into whole, dark-edged leaves and give a pale gold, silken liquor that keeps its buttery note through three or four steepings.

Details

  • Tea: Oolong, Jin Xuan cultivar, Taiwan
  • Leaf: Rolled into small pearls
  • Contains: No milk; naturally contains caffeine

How to use

Steep at 195°F for thirty seconds on the first pour, adding ten seconds to each steeping after. A gaiwan suits it best, but any small pot will do. Pour slowly, and let the cream note arrive on its own.

An old companion for slow afternoons.
