Jin Xuan Oolong
Orchid | Sweet Milk | Bamboo
Grown on the misty high-altitude slopes of Alishan, Taiwan, Jin Xuan Oolong – also known as Milky Oolong – is made from the Jin Xuan cultivar, prized for its naturally creamy character. Hand-picked and lightly oxidized, this tea reflects the refined craftsmanship of Alishan’s skilled farmers.
Brewed, it reveals a pale golden liquor with a soft floral aroma and a velvety, smooth texture. Notes of orchid, sweet milk, and a refreshing hint of bamboo unfold in a balanced cup that’s both bright and comforting.
Creamy, floral, and elegantly smooth, Jin Xuan Oolong is a soothing, well-rounded tea that bridges delicate florals with cozy richness. A gentle and refined choice for everyday enjoyment or mindful sipping.
