From Tea from Taiwan

Winter 2009

This is a flavored Jin-Xuan tea from Zhu Shan in the Nantou county tea district.

When Jin-Xuan tea leaves are lightly roasted during processing, they have a unique milk flavor which is called nai xiang or milk oolong.

Zhu Shan Jin Xuan is a flavored tea. The flavoring gives this tea a pronounced, pleasing milk flavor.

This sample has been quite educational, as when I opened the packet it smelled exactly like the DAVIDsTEA milk oolong. And, comparing this flavoured one with the unflavoured ones I can see the difference.

This tastes a bit greener than the DT one, though. It’s really nice. It’s not incredibly milky, more buttery. Very smooth and fresh. Yum!

Method: 1.5 tsp, 205 degrees, 3 minutes

Dry Leaf Aroma: powdered milk, popcorn topping, butter. Back in the day, my parents used to buy this powdered faux butter popcorn topping. You would pop your corn and sprinkle it on. That’s what these tea leaves smell like!

Brewing Aroma: Milky and sweet, with a hint of floral

Flavor: This isn’t as creamy as I expected, and the texture is thinner than I thought, but it’s still quite good. I’m not sure that milky oolongs are my thing, but I like trying them out. This was even better with some tea biscuits. They gave the whole endeavor a sort of milk and cookies feel.
