Profile: Jin Xuan Oolong (oxidation degree of 15%) is also known as Milky Oolong, a particular creamy variety of Oolong. This Jin Xuan is not overwhelming milky, but you will enjoy the buttery taste of milkchocolate and sweet biscuits. The taste of fresh green summer vegetables will give you a clean, fresh finish.

Our beloved farmers Sheng and his wife Emily live together with their family in Meishan, a beautiful and biologically rich village in the famous Alishan mountain area. Sheng is the youngest of three generations in the family-owned farm. Together with his wife and father he produces Oolong, Jin Xuan, black tea and even white tea. Under the approving eye of the 90 year old grandfather they do not shy away from modern techniques whilst respecting family recipes once started by him. Their innovative approach already paid off, as they won several prizes for their tea. We admire this couple for their perseverance to produce natural tea, as one of the few in the region. Sheng even takes it one step further by trying to convince other farmers to follow his example.
