Ali Shan Jin Xuan

This tea is a textbook example of what makes the Jin Xuan cultivar so beloved. It delivers the creamy, buttery texture that earned the tea its nickname, “milky oolong.” Grown in the mountains of Ali Shan, this tea is greener and fresher than some deeper-roasted versions. It highlights the cultivar’s natural creaminess and gentle sweetness. It has a smooth, comforting texture with soft notes of warm milk, light vegetal hints, and a touch of brown sugar. It's an easygoing, warming tea with a clean finish and a familiar, satisfying character. To maintain its delicate balance, it's best to steep this tea for a shorter time than usual after the first infusion, to enhance its milky character and avoid bitterness. With a mindful approach, it delivers the cozy profile that makes Jin Xuan such a favorite.
