Comparison of milks

I compared two milks of tea.

The left was named Yotsuba, Holstein, 120 ℃ 2 seconds as sterilization , 3.7% milk fat.
The right was named Nirayama, Jersey,130 ℃ 2 seconds as sterilization , 4.2%milk fat.
The tea leaves were Kimon tea by Takeuchi tea estate in Makinohara.

Tea leaves were extracted with milk.

I felt more the scent of tea leaves in Yotsuba (Holstein) than Nirayama (Jersey).
As Nirayama (Jersey) is good taste itself ,the taste was matched tea with milk.

So,Both milks were good.

Thank you.
