Milk Oolong Tea: A Blue House Tea Specialty

Origin and Story
Milk Oolong tea, a cherished specialty of Blue House Tea, hails from the lush, misty mountains of Taiwan, where the tea plants thrive in the ideal climate. This unique tea variety is celebrated for its creamy and buttery flavor, resulting from a meticulous cultivation and processing method that has been perfected over generations. Legend has it that the tea's enchanting milky aroma is a gift from nature, arising from the natural sweetness of the leaves and the environmental conditions of the region.

The traditional crafting process involves hand-picking the finest leaves, which are then gently roasted and rolled to enhance their natural qualities. The artistry of the tea makers plays a crucial role in developing the tea's signature profile, ensuring that each cup captures the essence of the Taiwanese terroir.

Brewing Recommendations
To fully experience the luxurious taste and aroma of Milk Oolong tea, follow these simple brewing steps:

1. Water Temperature: Begin by heating fresh spring or filtered water to around 90-95°C (194-203°F). Avoid boiling water, as it can overpower the delicate flavors of the tea.

2. Tea Quantity: Use approximately 2-3 grams of Milk Oolong tea leaves per cup (about 250ml or 8oz).

3. Brewing Time: Steep the tea leaves for 3-5 minutes. This allows the creamy notes to infuse properly, creating a smooth and rich flavor profile. For an even more refined taste, you can rebrew the leaves multiple times, as the flavor evolves with each infusion.

4. Enjoying the Experience: Savor the first sip to enjoy the sweet, flowery scent and the delightful taste of sweet butter and milk. The smoothness of the brew is perfect for both relaxing moments and social gatherings.

Milk Oolong tea is not just a beverage; it’s an experience that transports you to the serene landscapes of Taiwan with each sip. Enjoy the harmonious blend of nature and craftsmanship that makes this tea a true delight for your senses.
