Jin Xuan tea is a new variety of oolong tea made from TTES No.12. It is about 20% fermented, and its sweet milky aroma and soft taste are popular among women.

This is a relatively new variety, developed by the Taiwan Tea Improvement Station in 1981.

Jin Xuan Tea was developed by crossbreeding In-Zi-Hon-Shin and Tai Nong No. 8. In-Zi-Hon-Shin is an oolong tea variety that has been cultivated in Taiwan for a long time, and is characterized by its strong aroma and deep flavor. On the other hand, Tai Nong No. 8 is a black tea variety cultivated in Taiwan, and is characterized by its sweet aroma.

Jin Xuan tea inherits the best qualities of these parent varieties, and is characterized by a sweet floral fragrance and a mellow, smooth taste. In addition, it is relatively easy to cultivate and produces a large yield, so it is cultivated all over Taiwan.
