Description
From the mountains of Taiwan, ‘Jin Xuan’ is a tea bush cultivar famous for producing teas with a desirable creamy texture and smooth, sweet flavor (hence the name Milk Oolong). The deliciously alluring taste of sweet cream and freesia followed by a long-lasting tropical fruit finish makes this tea truly unforgettable. Oolong tea is prized for its antioxidant content and metabolism-boosting properties.

Quick Brewing Guide
Water Temperature: 185°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoons per 16 oz
Steep Time: 3-4 minutes
Brewing Instructions
General Guide:
- Add tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.
- Use 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste.
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, allow it to cool slightly, then pour water over tea leaves and cover.
- Infuse (steep) leaves 2-5 minutes; 3½ minutes is a good average that works well for most tea types. Do not oversteep or tea may become bitter. If you prefer strong tea, simply use more leaves.
- Remove bag or infuser from water or strain leaves. Enjoy!
Water Quality: Tea is only as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled or unfiltered tap water, which can limit tea’s flavor. Bottled spring water or filtered tap water is ideal.
Water Temperature: Most teas taste best when prepared with water around 195˚F (just below boiling); however, some teas require a lower temperature or they may become bitter.
Eastern Brewing Method: High-quality oolongs and certain specialty teas may be enhanced by the Gongfu (Eastern) brewing method, which uses a higher leaf-to-water ratio and multiple, short infusion times to bring out the subtle nuances and full flavor spectrum. Fill a warmed porcelain gaiwan or miniature (4-10 oz) teapot 20% full with tea leaves. Add 195°F water. Steep the first infusion for 30-90 seconds and decant. Repeat for another 3-5 infusions.

Great subtle milky flavorTaiwan Milk Oolong is my favorite tea, and this is an excellent version. The milkiness is subtle--clearly, there are no additives here--and the overall flavor is the slightly sweet grassiness that I associate with this type of tea. Really delicious!

Great flavorGreat flavor. Had revieved a sample from my standard order and fell in love with this tea. Highly recommend.

DelightfulI have this tea every morning for breakfast. I love the subtle, mild flavors of this tea as opposed to the strength and acidity of other breakfast teas. Those are just too much for me. I also appreciate the more tempered caffeine level in this oolong. Added tip: I mix fresh dried lavender from our garden. An incredible addition.

OkayFor me, nothing special as a newbie to oolong. Not strong no matter how long steeped but not weak, just okay.

Unique!This one is worth trying. It's got a very interesting sweet, almost caramel-like finish and a floral undertone.
