| + | '''Jin Xuan''' ([[wiktionary:金|金]][[wiktionary:萱|萱]]; pinyin: jīn xuān; literally "Golden Daylily") is a 1980 developed variety of [[Oolong]] tea. The tea is also known as #12 or as "Milk Oolong" (Nai Xiang). It originates from [[Taiwan]]. The taste is light and flowery and sometimes referred to milk. This tea variety can be grown at higher attitudes and the yield is about 20% higher compared to traditional tea varieties. These circumstances made it become one of the most popular varieties among tea farmers in [[Taiwan]] and [[Thailand]]. The widely advertised milky flavor of Jin Xuan is not natural but is added by aromatization. Reputable dealers usually declare whether it is a natural or flavored oolong. A flavored Jin Xuan can be recognized before the tea is steeped. The added flavors mask the natural tea flavor significantly. |
