Ying Xiang in Chinese means “an inviting aroma” and is also a very new varietal in the tea world. Born in 2013 after years of research and development this new type of tea is a testament to modern innovation and technique. Taiwan Sourcing is proud to be able to share this new taste with you.
Thanks to it’s parents ─ Qing Xin and Jin Xuan, Ying Xiang combines the unique silky body and aroma of its progenitors. However, it has a surpassing character that distinguishes itself from its famous family. Drinking this tea has a playful element and is enlivening. Interestingly, even in a lower elevation environment Ying Xiang varietal oolong is both expressive and deep.

Got this as a free sample with my order a while back. Just now getting around to trying it. It’s one of their lass expensive oolongs but it’s quite good. It’s got a note that people would call buttery even if it doesn’t quite seem that way to me. It’s not too grassy or vegetal but is nice and sweet. I would really be tempted to order more of this tea. It is quite good. I have enough of the sample left for one more gongfu session. I should also note there was very little bitterness to this tea.
I brewed this eight times in a 129ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. So far I have to say I have not gotten anything that wasn’t good from Taiwan Sourcing.
Flavors: Butter, Sweet
