Jin Xuan oolong, also known as “Golden Lily” or “Milk Oolong” (Nai Xiang), is a Taiwanese oolong tea developed in the early 1980s. This tea is known for its unique, creamy, milky aroma and floral flavor, which is naturally developed due to the characteristics of the tea plant and processing techniques.

Flavor

The flavor profile of Jin Xuan oolong is extremely rich and complex.
The main characteristic of the tea is its creamy, milky character, complemented by delicate floral and fruity notes.
Upon sipping, you first notice a soft, buttery taste, followed by the scent of fresh, spring flowers.
The aftertaste often reveals the aroma of peach and other sweet fruits, providing a long-lasting, pleasant experience.
It is important to note that the natural milky taste of Jin Xuan oolong comes from the characteristics of the tea plant and is not the result of the addition of artificial flavorings.

History

The history of Jin Xuan oolong dates back to the Taiwan Tea Research Institute (TTES), which developed the tea in the early 1980s. The name “Jin Xuan” means “Golden Lily” in Chinese, and the tea is officially classified as TTES #12. When breeding the tea plant, researchers aimed to create a variety that was different from traditional Taiwanese teas such as Alishan, Lishan, and Dong Ding. The Jin Xuan tea plant is unique in that it produces high-quality leaves even when grown at higher altitudes, which produce a tea with a distinctive creamy and floral flavor.

How to make it

When brewing Jin Xuan oolong, it is important to ensure the right water quality and temperature to bring out the full flavor of the tea. For best results, follow these steps:

Tea quantity : Use 6-7 grams of tea leaves for a 150-200 ml teapot or cup.

Water quality : Use soft water with low mineral content, as hard water can affect the taste of the tea.

Water temperature : Start with water at 85-90°C, then gradually increase the temperature during subsequent pours.

Steeping time : For the first infusion, let the tea steep for 1 minute. For subsequent infusions, the steeping time can be increased to taste.

Number of infusions : Jin Xuan oolong can withstand multiple infusions, and you can enjoy the changing flavors of the tea up to 5-7 times.

When preparing, it is worth paying attention to personal preferences and adjusting the water temperature, steeping time and amount of tea accordingly. With the right technique, the rich and complex flavors of Jin Xuan oolong will fully unfold, providing an unforgettable tea-drinking experience.

Overall, Jin Xuan oolong is a special Taiwanese tea that, with its natural creamy and floral flavor and rich history, has deservedly become a favorite of tea lovers worldwide.
