Oolong is grown in Fujian province of China . Milk green tea with oolong leaves is similar to Teguanyin. They differ in fermentation methods, growing conditions, collection, as well as aroma when brewing.
Milk oolong has in its aroma both notes of milk and caramel notes. It’s even unusual to drink such a drink, especially when you know that there is no caramel or milk. Where does this unusual taste and aroma come from in Oolong? Some even think that milk tea is soaked in milk. Not really. This unique aroma of oolong is obtained during the production process. This variety is a semi-fermented tea.
Since ancient times, the Chinese have been brewing oolong for the sacrament of tea drinking. It is not only magically delicious, but also warms the soul, purifies thoughts, unites everyone with its unique aroma. Offer milk oolong to relatives and friends, and you will become even closer to each other.

In order to preserve and enhance the taste and aroma of oolong, it must be properly brewed. This is a very delicate process, since the choice of brewing method also depends on the type of oolong (on what degree of fermentation it has).
Weakly fermented Oolong, such as Iron Guan Yin, must be brewed not in boiling water, but at a temperature of 70 degrees, the brewing time is no more than 2 minutes. But highly fermented varieties brew longer and hotter water (but not boiling water!).
