AliShan Jinxuan
$10.00
AliShan is a mountainous region that has been gaining a lot of attention in Taiwan the last few decades as a land that consistently produces quality oolong. Finding the perfect spot to plant tea is an endeavor: the elevation, exposure to sunlight, yearly average weather patterns, the condition of the soil, and a dozen other intangible factors all affect the garden's potential to yield exceptional leaf. Take a sip of this tea and we think you will agree that AliShan has that special quality.
AliShan Jinxuan Oolong became popular for its golden liquor, buttery mouthfeel, and rich notes of sweet cream. It can be steeped up to four times. While Jinxuan is renowned for its creamy character, proper brewing is essential to bring out those flavors. Lower water temperatures highlight the tea’s signature creaminess, while higher temperatures reveal more floral notes.
Steeping Instructions:
Prepare 3 grams of tea leaf (slightly less than a teaspoon) per 100ml of water(about half a cup).
For the first two steeps, 90°c water for no longer than 60 seconds will provide plenty of flavor. From the third steep onward it is fine to add up to thirty additional seconds per steep. This should provide between four and six re-steeps depending on the quality of the tea. For larger vessels (teapots of over 500ml) re-steep potential is usually lower.
