One of the many legends explains that the first time this shift occurred was centuries ago when the moon fell in love with a comet passing through the night sky. The comet, as all comets do, passed by, burned out and vanished. The moon, in her sorrow caused a great wind to blow through the hills and valleys bringing about a quick drop in temperature. The next morning, local tea pluckers went out to collect their fresh leaf. To their surprise, when the tea was processed it had developed an amazing milky character, which was attributed to the motherly character of the old moon.

Milk Oolong, like all Oolongs, is considered a semi-fermented tea meaning it is somewhere between a black and green tea. Over the years, production methods have remained unchanged for the most part although some aspects like withering temperatures have been automated and regulated. First, the leaf is plucked from gardens situated between 500 - 1200 meters, and is produced between March and December. Next, the plucked leaf is withered in air-conditioned rooms until it is has reached the desired level of fermentation. The fermented tea is rocked, or sifted to sort the prime leaf required, and steamed over hot fire. Finally the tea is dried then re-sorted to ensure leaf quality and packed. The tea is produced in relatively small quantities from March to December; in fact, only 80,000 kg are produced with about 60,000 kg headed for the export market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuxury ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e; Oolong tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loose Leaf Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"1oz.","offer_id":46496929841249,"sku":"sku-40387982131262","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3oz.","offer_id":46496929874017,"sku":"sku-40387982164030","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8oz.","offer_id":46496929906785,"sku":"sku-40387982196798","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16oz.","offer_id":46496929939553,"sku":"sku-40387982229566","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6289\/2385\/files\/OOLONG_CHINA_QUANZHOUMILKOOLONG_ABOL-CH__-474_llt01.jpg?v=1788095117"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6289\/2385\/collections\/vecteezy_a-cup-of-hot-tea-and-teapot-with-leaves-set-on-a-wooden-table_71609746.jpg?v=1785950104","url":"https:\/\/cedarandspicegifts.com\/collections\/tea-oolong.oembed","provider":"Cedar \u0026 Spice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
