The picture of the brewed tea below is for reference only, NOT actual photo. The real brewed tea has a similar color depending on steeping time.Our Lishan Hong Xiang milk oolong tea is handpicked and handcrafted. The tea is produced from Jinxuan varietal grown in the mountain areas of Li Mountain, frequently covered with fog or clouds. The brewed Lishan Hong Xiang milk oolong tea has a very strong floral and sweet aroma and taste with a unique delightful and pleasant creamy fragrance and refreshing milky taste. It is very smooth and delectable with almost no bitterness and astringency.
Lishan Hong Xiang Milk Oolong, also known as Pear Mountain Oolong, is one of Taiwan’s highest mountain oolong teas. Li Shan Mountain is located in Taichung County of central Taiwan, and it is renowned for producing the highest quality high mountain oolongs. The tea plantations of Li Shan range in altitude from approximately 1600 meters. The loose tea leaves are thick and juicy with a rich fragrance.
Post infusion the color of the leaves are that of a steamed Broccoli! Vibrant and Fresh GREEN!
It’s not as creamy as some of the Milk Oolongs I have tried but the flavor is unique and springy-green! There is a sweet-sour flip-flop going on and I like that! It also has a smooth end sip and as it cools a bit I can pick up the milky notes more!
This is a great Oolong! I appreciate this very much!
