Our Qing Xin Oolong crop from Meishan comes from a well-established growing area which was one of the first to grow higher mountain teas in Yunlin County. Meishan sits between Shanlinxi up north, and Alishan further south and was one of the first high-mountain tea growing areas to be developed in central Taiwan, well before Shanlinxi and Alishan. The Huang family that produces this tea is one of the pioneering settlers of these beautiful coastal mountains. If you like the teas from the surrounding areas you should give Meishan teas a try. In fact, a lot of tea originating from Meishan is sold in the market as Alishan teas without the higher sticker price associated with the Alishan “brand”. This Qing Xin Oolong has the typical green, crisp pastoral notes with hints of mountain flowers that charms the nose. The palate will immediately be pleased by the ample creamy texture and taste that evokes fresh buttered green beans with hints of sweetness. It is a high mountain tea fashioned according to the recent trend of making very low-oxidised oolongs. All in all, it is a very satisfying cup that bears the characteristic generous qualities of high mountain teas at a very affordable price. This tea is our best value high-mountain Qing Xin Oolong and it is made by one of the most experienced high-mountain tea-making families in Taiwan. You simply can’t go wrong in trying it. If you’ve enjoyed any of our past iterations, you should definitely give this these 2023 productions a try!

The name Jin Xuan refers to a specific tea varietal developed by the Taiwan Research and Experiment Station which is the national research centre dedicated to the improvement of the tea industry of Taiwan. More specifically, this strand was elaborated by Dr. Zhen Zhe Wu who is considered the father of the modern Taiwanese tea industry. Jin Xuan was released for commercial cultivation in 1981 after 21 long years of development. This hardy strand is one of the most widely used as it adapts well to a variety of growing conditions from lower level plantations to high mountain ones. It is also very popular for its aromatic and taste characteristics. More specifically, teas elaborated with Jin Xuan leaves has a particularly creamy texture with a distinctive milky smoothness and sweetness. In the last 20 years, producers have tailored their techniques to emphasize this milky characteristic in response to the popular demand to the extent of sometimes artificially enhancing this flavour (which is not the case here!).
