Most of the Jin Xuan we encountered in the market were made into “Jade Oolong” to celebrate its milky scent, but that milky aroma was often the result of weak withering process. A properly processed Jin Xuan jade oolong should contain a “mango-like” aroma as well. However, this Jin Xuan is a black tea, and a strong one from one of the most famous tea locations in Taiwan – Dong Ding.
Thanks to our very good friend Mr. Chou, who is a young tea farmer from Lugu area, we are able to have decent and stable black tea made from Jin Xuan varietal. You will find the similar fruity aroma from this specific varietal in this tea, but will also notice it has an added touch from its particular region. And also like what people will conceive from a Lugu tea, It is a little bit roasted like teas from Dong Ding.
This is a tea that has every traits of what a Dong Ding seeker would like to find in the current market for Dong Ding. Whether you are one of those tea lovers or just a black tea lover, you will love this wonderful tea.
