Alishan Jinxuan "Milk Oolong" Tea, Spring 2023

A popular Alishan Oolong tea that is hand-picked and from a high mountain, yielding a more refined and balanced taste.

Jin Xuan, also known Milk Oolong, or just #12 (it was the 12th cultivar to be developed by Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Services in the 1980s) has light flowery and creamy notes. The latter is why the tea is called Milk Oolong.

Our Jin Xuan Oolong tea comes from Alishan where the leaves are even more lightly oxidized. You can enjoy floral notes and hints of apricot. The cup feels buttery with a fresh clean finish.
