From Yunnan Sourcing

Jin Guan Yin (金观音) is a cross between Tie Guan Yin and Huang Jing Gui! Young Huang Jin Gui tea bushes are cut and then Tie Guan Yin varietal is grafted with it. After 2 years the plant is producing this “Gold Guan Yin”!

The taste and aroma is very unique carrying with it the thick sweet after-taste of Huang Jin Gui (as well as increased infusability) but has the penetrating aroma and unique Guan Yin taste! There is a slight creamy almost milk aroma to it in early infusions!

Decent oolong! I got the Spring 2022 harvest of this tea from my recent YS order, and it’s pretty nice. Decent leaves with slight brokennes and paleness, with a rich aroma in the dry and wet leaf as well as a vibrantly green liquor. Flavour is decent, nice acidic profile with a backdrop of florality to it. Texture is smooth, juicy and overall nice, character is average, with not much steep variability, and finish & aftertaste is decent, airy finish with a nice lingering floral-citrus note at the end. Cha-qi is slightly noticeable, a bit of buzz, and steep longevity is average to decent, topping out at around steep 10.
