Golden Buds Milk Oolong: Jin Xuan
Golden Buds Milk Oolong: Jin Xuan
Sourced from Taiwan, and produced from the famous Jin Xuan cultivar, this oolong is naturally sweet, rich and has a notable luxuriously creamy mouthfeel, which is where it gets its name.
This is not the Milk Oolong that comes from China and is often artificially flavored. Jin Xuan (#12) is a tea varietal developed in Taiwan in the 1980s. It is highly fragrant, and when processed as oolong tea, a light roasting gives Jin Xuan a creamy quality that is known as Nai Xiang - milk fragrance which is quite subtle but totally natural.
