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.
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.

For anyone looking for a natural, mouthwatering, milk oolong, look no further. This JinXuan delivers the goods! We use 5 grams per 150 ml, at 87.5 C and 90 seconds for the first two flushes, and 100 seconds for the third. This produces a dense, rich, and-oh-so-creamy brew. Increasing the steeping temperature to 87.8, and the steeping time by 10 seconds, for any flush past the 3rd seemed to produce the best results. Although the first three flushes are what you're paying for here, with very careful regimentation, up to 6 satisfying flushes are available. Admittedly though, the the first three exceed any later results. It's the price you pay for such an outstanding first, second, and even third flush. If you like true milk oolong, don't pass this one up. Enjoy!
