Jin Xuan (aka Nai Xian; Golden Lily; Milk Oolong; Silk Oolong; Buttered Oolong) is the Oolong varietal that has a natural subtle milk-like aroma and taste and is the tea that is usually used to create the popular Milk Oolong tea. We supply several natural Jin Xuan Oolong teas as well as flavor enhanced varieties.

This is an organically grown Oolong. This particular tea leaf was grown by Mr Cai – a an experienced tea farmer who was awarded 3rd place in Taiwan’s recent Oolong tea grower’s competition category. It is an MOA Organic certificated tea.

Jin Xuan Oolong was discovered in 1981 by “Father of the Taiwan tea” –Dr. Zhen Zhe Wu who was the former president of TRES (Tea Research and Extension Station). It took 21 years of researching & developing to perfect this tea strain. It was a big part of “re-creating the tea market” in the 1980s and Jin Xuan tea became very popular during this time. Since then Jin Xuan Oolong tea has become one of the main tea strains in Taiwan. It is a thick tea leaf with a unique and natural, light milky fragrance and a buttery, creamy taste. The tea farming regions in Nantou County are the most famous areas for growing Jin Xuan tea. This Organic Jin Xuan is from a higher elevation tea garden in the Bei Shan region.
