Milk Oolong, where to begin?  Do we tell you the legends of how it came into existence? Do we tell you how it is actually produced?  Do we wax poetic about its luscious flavor? Well, maybe we should do all 3.  We’ll start with a legend.  The stories of this tea naturally centre on its wonderful milky flavor, which interestingly, is the result of a sudden shift in temperature during harvest - a rare occurrence to say the least.  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 are wont to 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.  (Hey, it’s possible!)
