Jin Xuan

A classic full-bodied, creamy oolong. Sometimes called "milk oolong", this pure unflavored oolong comes from Nantou, Taiwan. The distinct creaminess in the aroma and on the palate derives only from components inherent in the particular tea plant, combined with the skill of processing from its maker. Lactones are compounds found in tea leaves, but only the right combination of conditions will bring them out so prominently.
