Zero Milk
Zero Milk shows High Mountain Jin Xuan Oolong in a lean, clean light. The name points to what you will not find here: no dairy aroma, no added flavor, and no candy-like cream. Grown at 1 000 m in Beishan, Nantou, spring leaves grow slowly and build clarity. Single garden, nature-farming, and careful hand picking keep the cup pure. Expect orchid, osmanthus and sugarcane sweetness over warm grain, then a tidy, mineral finish. This is a composed take for drinkers who want lift and stamina rather than richness, and a true read of the Jin Xuan tea plant variety.
Why Zero Milk
Many “milk oolongs” on the market are flavored. Zero Milk is not. It is unflavored Jin Xuan from one garden, showing the variety’s natural grace without perfume or dairy notes. Beishan’s warm days, cool nights, and steady breezes help the wither. Growth slows, aromas stay vivid, and soils that drain well encourage deeper roots. You taste the result as a pale-gold liquor with a satin feel. Sweetness gathers at the back of the throat, then clears neatly. High Mountain Jin Xuan Oolong appears here as flowers, sugarcane and warm grain — not butter.
Craft Details
Mr. Tsai harvests by hand in May 2025. A brief wither and gentle shaking start light oxidation around 10–15 %. Heat-fixing holds a jade-green core. Repeated cloth-bag rolling forms tight, glossy spheres — classic ball-rolled oolong — with rests that shift moisture from stem to leaf. A light bake at level 1–2 smooths edges without toast. A short rest lets top notes settle with the base. The result is a clear, lightly baked oolong with focus across many short infusions. It is High Mountain Jin Xuan Oolong as it should be: calm, long, and quietly persistent.
FAQ
Is this a flavored milk oolong or natural?
Natural and unflavored. No added essence, dairy or sweetener. The character comes from Jin Xuan, altitude and gentle craft.
Why is it called Zero Milk if it is Jin Xuan?
The name highlights the absence of dairy notes. At 1 000 m with light oxidation and a very light bake, Jin Xuan reads as floral and clean rather than creamy.
What makes Beishan at 1 000 m special?
Warm days, cool nights and steady breezes slow growth and aid withering. Aromas stay vivid, finishes stay tidy, and the cup shows clarity and length.
