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: Steep 1 teaspoon tea leaves in 150cc(5oz) 95°C(203F) water, steam about 1 minute for the first brew to unroll the leaves. 30-40 seconds for the second infusion, and double the timing for the following infusions. Provides 3 or more infusions. Teaware: Zisha teapot, gaiwan, porcelain teaware. 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!
