Jin Xuan is the name of the varietal of oolong from Taiwan commonly known as "milk oolong." As you might guess, the name comes from the fact that true Jin Xuan is naturally and unmistakably creamy.

Our Jin Xuan comes from a small, high altitude tea farm in the towering Alishan Mountain range of Taiwan. This varietal is indigenous to the area, favouring the cool climate of the mountains where the tea trees are covered in cloud and mist all year round, making them vibrant, full bodied and sweet.

Unlike many "milk oolongs" available on the market, this is real Jin Xuan, meaning that it does not have anything artificial added to make it taste more creamy. On top of that, this is the best traditional Jin Xuan we have ever tasted.

It has a buttery mouthfeel with strong notes of vanilla cookies and whipping cream. The combination of its slight dustiness and palate-coating density is so enjoyable, it is a tea that keeps you wanting more of it. It has a surprisingly clean, floral finish that reminds us of freshly washed cotton: we can't think of a tea that references more comforting things. This oolong will last through many infusions, becoming more and more impressively and pleasingly milky.

First infusion: 5–15 seconds, until the leaves are submerged and fully wet.
