Unlike other oolongs that are known for their robust and sometimes intense flavors, Jin Xuan Oolong presents a delicate and harmonious balance of sweetness, floral notes, and a lingering buttery smoothness. The absence of astringency and bitterness makes it a particularly approachable oolong, especially for those who are new to the world of oolong teas.
For oolong lovers seeking a departure from the usual bold and earthy oolong flavors, Jin Xuan Oolong offers a refreshing and enchanting alternative. Its delicate sweetness and creamy texture make it an ideal choice for those seeking a lighter and more approachable oolong experience.

Jin Xuan is a really interesting oolong type, where it has a natural creamy/milky hint to it. It was one of our first teas that we branched out to early in our tea adventures. While the tea doesn't taste "just like" milk it is surprising the creamy mouth feel that it has. We usually have this tea once or twice a week as our morning coffee replacement and want to be able to share it with more people.
