Ali Shan Jin Xuan, Winter Harvest

Taiwanese oolong tea

Ali Mountain is famous for its fog rising almost every afternoon from the nearby valleys, and fog is the key to the most aromatic teas. That and the reduced sunlight accentuate the cultivar's floral-creamy scent. It's worth it to take a moment at each step and appreciate how every single one of them has to show something different.

The steamed leaves are already foretelling a milky sweetness. The floral scent blends with cashew milk and fresh whipping cream. The flushed leaves are slightly nutty and floral.

The first flush is silky and subtle, milky, lightly toasty, and very floral, with a mellow fruity undertone at the latter infusions. High quality Jin Xuan oolongs always have this fruity tone beside the milky-nutty notes. The later infusions are getting milkier and fruitier, with the mellow flavors of cashew nut milk in the background.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	95°C 203°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	45 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Rinse. Put the tea leaves in your vessel, pour hot water over them and then discard the water quickly. This step is for "waking the leaves" a little bit.
STEP 3) Brew. Pour boiling water on your rinsed tea leaves and brew for 45 seconds.
STEP 4) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 5) Brew again.

❖ After the first few infusions, you can increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
