From the TTES No. 12 cultivar, this particular Taiwanese tea is known as "Milky Wulong" due to its subtle milky aromatic notes, which come naturally from this cultivar (Camellia Sinensis Var. Sinensis Cultivar TTES No. 12).
 
The cultivar's initials are the registration of TRES (Taiwan Research and Extension Station), the research center for tea in Taiwan. They exhaustively study tea plants and experiment with crosses between different varieties and cultivars to achieve new results.
