Customer Question: I heard there is a type of JinXuan tea grown and irrigated with milk, called Milk JinXuan tea leaves. It tastes like milk and is of exceptional quality. Where can I buy Milk JinXuan tea, and does it really have a milky aroma?
Changsing Tea: Irrigating tea leaves with milk is certainly a first for me. Milk is very expensive; if they were truly raised on milk, a 600 g batch would easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. The milky flavor in what you call Milk JinXuan tea is actually the natural varietal aroma of the tea tree. Every tea tree has its own unique varietal aroma. Some people describe JinXuan’s aroma as floral, while others say it’s milky. When crafted into an oolong tea with a distinct, fresh aroma, tea merchants give it the name Milk JinXuan. It simply means its varietal aroma resembles milk, not that it was irrigated with milk.
If you are looking for Milk JinXuan tea, we do carry it here. In recent years, JinXuan tea produced in Alishan has been of the highest quality, with the most prominent varietal aroma and the greatest popularity. In addition, we also offer machine-harvested JinXuan tea from Mingjian Township, which is reasonably priced and of good quality. Feel free to contact Changsing Tea!
