Oolong tea by Teasome. Jin Xuan, aka Golden Lily, is simply the translation of one of Taiwan’s most famous cultivars (numbered #12 in Taiwan). It is often coincidentally connected with Milk Oolong; a name we also had called it - however, it is absolutely not flavoured with milk! This would be against our philosophy, because at the end of the day, we only offer natural teas, and naturally flavoured teas.
Here’s the thing - Jin Xuan is a unique, naturally sweet cultivar with characteristically milky-buttery notes. Perhaps it’s hard to believe, but the tea leaves really do smell and taste similar to sweet milk! There are also floral notes, like lilies or rose petals. It’s not surprising that despite being a young cultivar, it has quickly gained a huge following in Taiwan.
Milk Oolong, which is becoming more and more popular in the West, is most often a low grade tea treated with artificial flavourings, in an attempt to make a flavour that strongly reminds us of milk. We, however, suggest going to the source and discovering the natural sweetness of Golden Lily, which openly and uninhibitedly invites you to see the rich world of Taiwanese oolongs
