Jinxuan tea is made from a relatively new tea plant varietal, popularized in the 1990s, that possesses the creaminess often associated with Wulong teas grown at higher elevations. Processed like Wulong tea, it is similar in color but, has a distinct aroma that blends well with its creamy flavor. Its mildly astringent finish is somewhat more muted than that of a typical Wulong, making this a tea that often appeals to fans of green tea or lighter oolongs such as Baozhong. |

Premium Spring 2009 Alishan Jinxuan Expansive creamy texture and a slightly dry flavor meld together smoothly in a mild finish. Overall this tea is reasonably similar to the spring 2008 batch. However, this one leaves a less weighty impression, having the greater intensity mid-taste than at the end. Well-balanced no matter how you parse it.  |

Superior Jinxuan Light and smooth with a characteristic jinxuan creamy quality in the finish. Great value in an oolong tea. |

Premium Spring 2008 Alishan Jinxuan More heavily baked than the other available batches, this tea has a rich, long lasting flavor. In some ways this tea tastes closer to Wulong than a typical Jinxuan. However, the high-elevation complexity and expansive finish are thoroughly satisfying. |
