Shanlinxi Jinxuan Oolong | Oolong Tea

Shanlinxi 杉林溪 — also called Sun Link Sea — sits in Nantou, Taiwan, around 1600 to 1800 metres. This winter lot is Jinxuan 金萱, a different batch from our everyday milky Jinxuan: hand-picked, lightly oxidised and gently roasted, then rolled into tight balls so the high-mountain air shows through as floral and tea aroma rather than a heavy roast.

We find orchid and buttery lift with woody and vegetal undertones, a clear light liquor, and caramel sweetness on a lingering finish. The natural creamy texture is from the cultivar and the garden height — not flavouring poured onto the leaf.

This is the Shanlinxi Jinxuan we keep when we want the higher garden’s floral–woody side of the cultivar — still soft enough for many clean infusions.
