Milky Oolong from Tea & CO: a very special taste experience

Milky Oolong - creamy oolong tea with a fine melting texture

First of all: Milky Oolong is an oolong specialty that stands out due to its velvety character. It is soft, round and slightly sweet - without sugar. It also has a rare creaminess that is reminiscent of warm milk and butter. This makes the first sip feel particularly harmonious. At the same time, the tea remains clear and elegant.

Milky Oolong originally comes from Taiwan, where the cultivated variety "Jin Xuan" provides the typical soft body. Today, this style can also be found in China. The careful processing is crucial: the leaves are only lightly oxidized, creating a bridge between green and black tea. As a result, floral notes are retained while the cup still gains depth.

Gentle refinement also characterizes the taste. Depending on the producer, the leaves are, for example, steamed with milk aromas or aromatically refined during the withering process. This creates the famous "milky" effect, which opens up further with each infusion. First there is melting, then flowers and hints of vanilla emerge. Finally, there is a long, gentle aftertaste. Anyone looking for a tea that pampers and surprises at the same time will find an excellent choice here. In short: Milky Oolong offers enjoyment that will appeal to beginners and delight connoisseurs.

Precise parameters help to ensure that the creamy profile is convincing. The following guide values deliver consistently good results - and can then be fine-tuned.

Interesting facts about the Milky Oolong

Origin & Style

Milky Oolong goes back to the Taiwanese cultivar line "Jin Xuan". It therefore has a naturally creamy body. Selected gardens in China now also produce this style. Nevertheless, the aim remains the same: a soft oolong with a clear structure and fine fragrance.

Processing & finishing

First, the leaves are only lightly oxidized. This creates the typical oolong balance between freshness and depth. This is followed by careful aroma refinement, for example using steam or during withering. This gives the cup a milky melt without masking the plant characteristics. It is precisely this balance that makes this tea so popular.

Aroma, texture & food pairing

In the first infusion, the tea has vanilla and milk notes reminiscent of panna cotta. This is followed by floral accents with a hint of honey. At the same time, the texture remains silky. This makes Milky Oolong a wonderful accompaniment to mild desserts, butter cookies or light cheeses. If you like it on its own, it is best drunk without sweetening. However, a tiny drop of honey also harmonizes well.

Multiple infusions & practice

For several infusions, reduce the time minimally and keep the temperature constant. In this way, the nuances change from creamy to floral and finally to slightly mineral. Fresh, rather soft water is also recommended. A preheated pot stabilizes the temperature and supports the development of the fragrance. To keep the tea fresh, store it in an airtight, cool, dry and dark place.

Who is Milky Oolong suitable for?

Beginners appreciate the mildness and melting taste. Connoisseurs love the fine layers that unfold over several infusions. This tea is therefore suitable as a relaxed everyday companion, but also as a quiet moment of enjoyment in the evening.
