Jin Xuan - 金萱烏龍春茶

Jin Xuan (金萱烏龍春茶), meaning "Golden Lily" in Chinese, is a relatively new Taiwanese tea variety developed by the Taiwan Tea Research Institute in the early 1980s. The variety is the result of nearly four decades of crossbreeding several Taiwanese plant varieties to produce a tea with a character that differs from the traditional Alishan, Lishan and Dong Ding tea varieties.

Our Jin Xuan tea comes from a high altitude garden in Nantou County, Meishan Mountain, central Taiwan.

Harvested in spring 2024, the tea has a vibrant floral character with a rich flow of buttercream and peach. It's a light oolong tea, refreshing and a joy to drink every day.

We met and travelled to visit Minhan and his wife back in 2016. I remember the first tea I tasted from them was a Jin Xuan oolong, spring picking. The more we got to know this young couple and their teas, the more we knew for sure that they would be one of our Taiwanese oolong suppliers. Not only do the Minhan's make oolong, they also make red tea. This year they made a really special one from the Qing Xin tea plant variety, which turned out very fruity and sweet and floral at the same time, and they also started processing Gaba tea.

To make it, use low-mineral, soft water. The amount of tea should be 6-7 grams for a 150-200 ml device. Start the water temperature from 85-90 degrees and keep increasing. The first infusion should be 1 minute.
