Jin Xuan is grown in the Mingjian valley in Nantou, a cultivar known for its naturally creamy character rather than any added milk.
The cup is buttery and soft, with a milky sweetness that makes it an easy first oolong. It gives four infusions and likes a plain shortbread alongside.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
