Jin Xuan is often referred to as “milk oolong” which is more descriptive of its mouthfeel versus taste. Naturally rich in lactones, this cultivar is the twelfth made by TTRES (Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station). This Jin Xuan was grown in an Alishan tea garden that sits at 1000m, classifying it as high mountain tea. Lowly oxidized and unroasted, this cup has subtle vegetal and floral qualities that accompany the creamy, milk-like mouthfeel.
