The tea is also known as #12 or as “Milk Oolong” (Nai Xiang). It originates from Taiwan. The taste is light, creamy, 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 one of the most popular varieties among tea farmers in Taiwan.
While genuine Jin Xuan naturally tastes milky, some producers produce artificial Jin Xuan through additives.
Jin Xuan Nai Xiang
“Golden flower with a milky scent” – tea of bright yellow and pure infusion color (Western tea testers refer to it as ‘amber’), the aroma is caramel-milk, yet tea-fresh.
The taste is soft, warm and pleasant with a ‘memory of milk’ – one that gives the impression of sweet condensed milk and childhood memories.

Bi Tan Piao Xue
"Snow Falling on Jade-Green Pool" - a beautifully poetic name hides a high-quality green tea from the early spring harvest from Mount Meng Ding which was richly scented with the best autumn jasmine, even in a ratio of 5: 1 (5 kg of jasmine flowers were used per 1 kg of tea).
Jasmine flowers are also abundant in the tea itself (although they no longer add other aromas - they have an aesthetic effect and give meaning to the poetic name of the tea).
The tea is a distinctly jasmine-sweet fruit flavor with a rich aroma that lasts for many pours.
