Mei Shan Zin Hsuan

Spring 2023

“Milk Oolong”

Yunlin County, Taiwan

Reknown for its creamy taste, the Zin Hsuan (often spelled Jin Xuan) varietal was developed over twenty years ago in Taiwan. Since then, it has become popular throughout Taiwan and begun to be planted all over the world. Our Zin Hsuan teas usually come from Mei Shan or Ali Shan…areas where this varietal works especially well with the terroir of the land. The Mei Shan area consists of steeply sloped mountains  (500 – 1500 meters) leading up to the higher elevation Ali Shan area. These factors, with the tea manager’s expert skill, give a great value for a central mountain oolong tea. Note: Many milk oolongs that are very strong in their creamy/milkiness…those are often that way because of added flavorings. Absolutely no added flavorings in our milk oolongs!

This year’s harvest is especially smooth with an aroma of fresh coconut, bright golden/green infusion, and a long lasting sweet sugarcane finish.
