Tasting Notes: Buttery + Creamy + Toasted Sesame + Whipped Sweet Cream + Floral
Jin Xuan, often called “Milk Oolong”, is prized for its creamy texture and gentle floral aroma. The tea opens with notes of sweet cream and florals, finishing with a soft buttery warmth that lingers on the palate. Light oxidation and expert rolling bring out its signature smoothness and layered complexity.
This exquisite tea was personally selected by The Tea Bar’s founder during her travels to the heart of Taiwan’s tea-growing regions. This tasty oolong comes from the garden of Ling Susu, a devoted independent tea farmer whose passion for craftsmanship shine through in every leaf.
