From Yellow Mountain Tea House

Jin Xuan (金萱; pinyin: jīn xuān; literally “Golden Daylily”) is a 1980 developed variety of Oolong tea. The tea is also known as #12 or as “Milk Oolong” (Nai Xiang). It originates from Taiwan. The taste is light and flowery and sometimes compared to milk. This tea variety can be grown at higher altitudes, and the yield is about 20% higher compared to traditional tea varieties. These circumstances made it become one of the most popular varietiesRead more

I started up a pot of this after lunch. I’m having a hard time waking up today so decided to treat myself to one of my favorite (and of course priciest) teas.
My girlfriend came into the office (where my tea nook is), and said “why does it smell weird in here”?
“I don’t know, I just ate wasabi almonds, maybe it’s that. Surely, it’s not my fancy tea,” I said.
I handed her the tea filter, full of beautiful aromatic milk oolong leaves. To me it smells like a sweet dessert. She leaned in to smell it and immediately gagged. “Ew!! That’s it!” Hahahaha. There is now a candle lit in the office. I feel really bad about it, but it’s so crazy that two people can smell things so differently!!
Anyway, this tea is excellent as always :)

Martin: This is one of the teas I sent you a few days ago, hopefully it doesn’t smell bad to you!! haha

Sometimes it smells like buttered popcorn to me. Did yours? Because I can see where that would be an odd smell if you are not expecting it.

We will see. Maybe I will think it smells somewhere in the middle :D

ashmanra: I see what u mean by buttered popcorn, but I dont thiiink that’s what this smells like, although it is similar. This one is still very leaf-y and light. More vanilla-y, maybe? It is a strong and unusual tea smell though.
martin: Hopefully! I’ll be excited to hear what you think either way
