Description

Jin Xuan is a Taiwanese cultivar developed in 1981 (TTES No. 12) that naturally produces a distinctive creamy, buttery sweetness sometimes described as milky. High-mountain Jin Xuan from elevations above 1,000 meters intensifies this character with added floral complexity. Note that authentic Jin Xuan's creaminess is entirely natural, unlike artificially flavored 'milk oolong' imitations.

Brewing Guide

Temperature 90°C
Steep Time 35s
Water Ratio 20ml/g
Infusions 6x

Recommended vessel: Porcelain gaiwan — Jin Xuan's (Milk Oolong) natural milky-vanilla aroma is a delicate varietal characteristic best preserved in a neutral gaiwan; clay vessels can absorb and alter the signature fra.

Brew at 90°C to express Jin Xuan's natural creamy-buttery character. Too-hot water can flatten the milky notes. High-mountain Jin Xuan (above 1,000m) is more delicate and benefits from 85°C. The natural creaminess peaks around the 2nd and 3rd infusion.
