Top Grade Taiwan High Mountain Oolong Tea – Creamy and Floral – Light Roast
Price range: €6.50 through €58.00
This is a medium-oxidized, lightly roasted oolong tea.
Tasting many different oolongs, this one never fails to surprise me, The very first sip always makes me go “wow.”
At the very first sip, a full, vibrant floral fragrance blooms on the palate, soon followed by a natural creamy note that makes it so unique. This creaminess is not artificial — it comes purely from the cultivar itself, a soft milky sweetness that blends beautifully with the floral tone. The tea liquor is golden and bright, smooth and silky in the mouth, with a clean, refreshing finish.
AROMA & CHARACTER
Grown in Taiwan’s high mountain tea gardens above 1,200 meters, this Jin Xuan Oolong captures the purity of misty altitudes and the calm strength of its environment.
Beyond its first impression, this oolong unfolds with a buttery smoothness and a gentle orchid-like fragrance that fills the mouth. Each sip leaves behind a subtle fruity sweetness, like ripe pear or apple, balanced with a soft creaminess. The tea feels both round and refreshing, leaving the palate clean yet deeply satisfied.
What makes this tea stand out is its balance. Being a medium-oxidized, lightly roasted oolong, it bridges freshness and richness — lighter than a heavily roasted rock oolong, yet rounder and more satisfying than a lightly oxidized green oolong. Its fragrance lingers in both the cup and the throat, offering layers that unfold across multiple infusions.
Approachable and comforting, yet elegant and refined, it is a tea I always find myself recommending to others.
