Known as Taiwan's famous "Milk Oolong", Jin Xuan delights with its naturally creamy texture and delicate floral aroma, without any added flavoring. If you enjoy soft, aromatic white wines such as Viognier, you may find a familiar character here: rounded, fragrant, gently creamy, and subtly sweet.

Perfect for those looking for a gentle, comforting tea that's easy to enjoy throughout the day.

Multiple Infusions - Worth Every Leaf

Taiwanese Oolong is made to be brewed more than once. Its tightly rolled leaves gradually unfurl with each infusion, allowing the aroma and flavor to evolve from one brew to the next.

Traditional Teapot Brewing
For a more concentrated style, use 6 g of tea with 100 ml of hot water. The same leaves can be infused at least 5 times, with each infusion revealing a different character.

Larger Pot Brewing
For a larger pot, use around 8 g of tea with 400 ml of hot water. The same leaves can typically be brewed up to 3 times.

The second infusion is often especially expressive, as the leaves continue to open. Later infusions gradually become lighter and more delicate.

There is no single “right” way to brew Oolong. Adjust the tea, water, and steeping time to find your preferred flavor.

Hot & Cold Brew

  • Hot Brew
    Loose leaf:8 g tea + 400 ml water, 95–100°C,1 minute
    Tea bag:    1 tea bag + 300 ml water, 95–100°C,2–3 minutes

  • Cold Brew

Over a Century of Taiwanese Tea Craftsmanship

Since 1880, five generations of our tea master’s family have dedicated their lives to Taiwanese oolong tea. Today, our Jin Xuan comes from Mingjian Township, Nantou County, at approximately 300–350 meters above sea level, where its warm foothill climate and fertile soils create the conditions for its smooth, naturally creamy character.
Generations of tea knowledge and traditional handcrafting continue to guide its production, complemented by modern quality control and food-safety standards.

What Is Oolong Tea ?

Taiwanese Oolong tea is a partially oxidized tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its oxidation level, cultivar, altitude, and craftsmanship shape its aroma and flavor. Taiwanese high-mountain Oolong is especially valued for its floral fragrance, smooth texture, natural sweetness, and lingering finish. Unlike fully oxidized black tea or minimally oxidized green tea, Oolong sits between the two in processing.

What Is Jin Xuan?

Jin Xuan (金萱) is a popular Taiwanese tea cultivar known for its naturally smooth, creamy character. Developed in Taiwan, Jin Xuan is widely used for high-mountain and lightly oxidized oolong tea. Its soft texture, gentle floral aroma, and subtle milky sweetness make it an approachable choice for both new and experienced tea drinkers. Unlike artificially flavored “milk oolong,” quality Jin Xuan derives its character naturally from the tea cultivar and growing conditions.

Tested for Purity

From Tea Leaf to Packaging

Tea quality goes beyond flavor. All our tea undergoes independent third-party laboratory testing for pesticide residues and heavy metals, helping verify purity, food safety, and compliance with applicable Swiss and European standards. Our tea is processed in a facility whose food-safety production system is certified to FSSC 22000, with food-safety practices aligned with ISO 22000 and HACCP principles. Pesticide residues are also checked on a batch-by-batch basis before production. Quality control extends from the tea leaf to the packaging materials that come into direct contact with the tea, providing an additional layer of assurance for purity, safety, traceability, and consistent quality.
