Jin-Xuan

Description

Jin-Xuan, also known as “Golden Lily” tea, is a Taiwanese oolong tea prized for its smooth, creamy flavor and floral aroma. Originating from the central mountains of Taiwan, it is known for its unique processing technique, which involves a light oxidation level, giving it a taste profile that balances between green and traditional oolong teas. The leaves of Jin-Xuan are large and green, and the tea itself has a pale golden liquor with a velvety mouthfeel.

The distinct creaminess of Jin-Xuan is often attributed to its varietal cultivar, developed in Taiwan in the 1980s, specifically bred for its rich, buttery texture. The taste typically features mild floral notes, hints of dairy-like sweetness, and a subtle fresh, grassy undertone, which makes it a refreshing and smooth drink. Jin-Xuan is often enjoyed both hot and cold, and it pairs well with light snacks or desserts.

Its mild nature and fragrant aroma have made it a favorite among oolong tea enthusiasts, and it is commonly found in high-quality tea shops and restaurants worldwide.
