Formosa Alishan Jinxuan Oolong (Golden Lily) 阿里山金萱-嘉義.台灣 Price: CAD$4.80 18g Mini Canister 0.64oz 6-8 servings Stock: 2   Price: CAD$13.80 72g Canister 2.6oz 24-28 servings Stock: 2   Price: CAD$25.50 135g Canister 4.82oz 45-50 servings Stock: 3   TN0302 Formosa Alishan Jinxuan Oolong Origin: Alishan, Chiayi, Taiwan 阿里山.嘉義.台灣 Style: Lightly fermented Oolong, medium bodied, floral creamy aroma Loose leaf style: Half ball Dongding oolong style Loose leaf color: Brownish dark green Wet leaf style: Dark green center with brown red edge Tea color: Honey Green Also known as Golden Lily Oolong, Jinxuan is another new varietal developed in Taiwan from 1990s. Processed in traditional Dongding Oolong style, it is another lightly fermented Oolong tea with intense characters. The tea starts with a Baozhong-like floral aroma, and finishes with a smooth and sweet creamy flavor. Our Formosa Alishan Jinxuan is slightly different to our Lugu Jinxuan due to the different elevation between to places. Alisan Jinxuan is stronger in creamy aroma, and Lugu Jinxuan dominates floral aroma. Both are excellent light oolong teas. Brewing: For most of the half ball style Oolong tea, the best water temperature is "just boiled and cools a little". You can start with 1 tsp for 120cc(4oz) 95°C(203F) water, steam about 1 min for the first brew to unroll the leaves. 30-40 seconds for the second infusion, and add 20 seconds for the following infusions. Provides at least 5 infusions, up to 9 infusions. The tea leaves need to be fully expanded in the container, remember not to put too much loose tea to avoid over packed. One tip to keep in mind is the amount of dry loose tea should be around 1/5 or smaller of the teaware or container, after brewing, the tea leaves will expand to 80%-90% of the container. Once you get familiar with the tea, you may explore your own brewing method. Teaware: Gongfu teaware or Yixing pots suit best for Oolong tea, glassware, Gaiwan, or porcelain teaware are also good personal choices. REVIEW BY: Bill  Reviewed  16 February 2008       From the moment I opened the tin, I could tell that this tea was of good quality. The nice floral aroma was thick and the dried leaves had a nice sheen to them indicating that the tea was nicely processed. The liquor was clear which is indicative of a proper "kill green" - sign of quaility. Pleasantly floral and creamy which is true to the style. It was a pleasure to drink!
