Well I wasn't saying your post was bogus, I am just saying I have heard several theories about what milk oolong is - generally speaking. I think there are many teas being called Milk Oolong.
And I did miss kd's prior post, I apologize.
Thanks, and apologies in return - wasn't taking offence, just wanted to clarify the difference. I hadn't heard that 'dropping temperature' could affect the tea in that way - I asked my guru here and he hadn't heard that either.
Love your avatar, by the way!

Jin Xuan 金萱 translated as 'Golden Lily' Also refered to as TTSE #12 or #27, Often sold under the varietal name or as milk oolong.
Do something different, something different will happen. ( Gong Fu Garden )
But I have definitely had Golden Lily that was not milky - it was more floral.

It's the same varietal, really. I've had all kinds of Jin Xuan, processing and the growing conditions play a big part in how it tastes. I've had Jin Xuan that was processed as a black tea, that wasn't either floral or milky.... ;PVictoria wrote:But I have definitely had Golden Lily that was not milky - it was more floral.
