Overview
Pairing: stone fruit, roast chicken, or buttery pastries
Stone Milk is an oolong tea from the Fujian province of China.The name shiru literally translates as Stone Milk and is a lesser known variety of yancha [rock oolong]. We find the Stone Milk to be one of the best balances of value and quality in our yancha lineup. Stone Milk has a robust roast and a creamy fragrance and flavor. The body of the tea is thick and has a mineral character that plays well with the aromas of the tea. Definitely worth trying for both beginners and experienced yancha drinkers alike.Each purchase is for 25 grams of tea.
