A wonderful, new Jin Xuan "milk oolong from a bunch of "Young Gun" Taiwanese tea producers.
A loose collective of friends and colleagues, these guys are keen to replicate the traditional tea producing methods. This means honest processing without chasing the "green" teas so fashionable currently.
The result is a great, balanced tea without the griping that can be a characteristic of the faddish teas of the moment. Clean, fresh and refreshing with a long, satisfying, saliva-inducing finish.
Grown/produced in the Ming Jian region at an altitude of approximately 300m.
Well worth a try for fans of low oxidation oolongs.
