Grown at 1,500 meters above sea level, our 2023 Golden Daylily Oolong (JinXuan in Chinese) is one of several teas that originates in Taiwan. The breed of plant is famous for mild, deep flavors. We crafted this tea using very little oxidization, in the style that is most popular in Taiwan right now. Expect fresh, verdant flavor, with a touch of rice-like sweetness on the tip of the tongue.

We suggest using slightly more dry tea leaf (4 grams per 100ml) and steeping using lower temperature water for a longer period of time. Using a standard gaiwan, we found 85-87c for two to three minutes produced a mouth-watering liquor. Golden Daylily is a great oolong to enjoy either alone or paired with a meal.

Fresh, quality green oolong at the most reasonable price you’ll find anywhere! Be sure to follow the brewing instructions, especially about adding a little more dry leaf—I neglected to do this at first and was underwhelmed, but then when following the recommended amount, the results were more of the characteristic golden lily flavor and mouthfeel. This is a nice, mellow tea, but personally I prefer the flavor of Heritage Honey (truly unbeatable clearance price) or the slightly more expensive Organic Mountain and Alishan.

This tea came as a sample with my order and WOW is it good! I wasn't going to order because of the description, but, I'm learning about flavors and what I like and this one taught me to be more open minded. Excellent, wonderful; a joy to drink. Every tea I have ordered from Mountain Tea has been superb. I'm adding it to my shopping cart for my next order. .

I reorder this tea whenever I get close to running out - a green oolong for those who like their oolongs a little on the less-oxidized side of things. It is definitely one of my go-to teas for mornings.

This is an exquisite tea! It is delicate and flavorful. I enjoy two large mugfuls from one heaping teaspoon.

Fresh tea at last! WOW!!! For the extremely picky person who can just tell it’s been in the bag too long, try this company. I took a chance after wasting a whole lot of cash and I am so glad I did. If there’s better oolong for less, I want some. Good luck!!

First time trying this Daylily tea: the color is light after steeping for 4-5 min, yet it's refreshing with hints of lilac and egg white. The 2nd cup (8 min) produces a slightly darker hue, a bit more floral and 'egg white-like' aroma, and light astringency that was not present on the 1st steep. My family prefers the 1st steep best, but overall very enjoyable.
