Milk Oolong

We are excited to be adding this gorgeous top-quality Milk Oolong – “Nai Xiang” – from the spring harvest in Anxi Province, China, to our range of Red Teas. Expect unique sweet, coconut notes and a silky texture. Milk Oolong is lightly oxidised and roasted, retaining this floral aroma and creamy flavour. It has less caffeine than black tea, whilst being full of antioxidants and polyphenols. Expect a similar body to Green Tea, with a light amber colour in the cup unlike more oxidised Oolongs – such as Formosa Oolong – in our collection. Nai Xiang hails from Anxi County in the mountainous southern province of Fujian. This is an area famous for its oolong teas, such as the Ti Kuan Yin, the Iron Goddess of Mercy. The region is known as the Tea Capital of China. During the withering process, where milk is added, something magical happens. The tea acquires the most beguiling scent, hence its other name ‘Milk Fragrance’ or ‘Nai Xaing’, and also described by customers as ‘Cookie Tea’.
