Tea Ave went above and beyond with their sample packages and labeling. I wish I was more gifted with words- I’d offer something besides a huge THANK YOU! I’m grateful there are people like Roswell Strange to make up for my lack.
‘Ginger’ made me decide to try this one first. It was a good choice. I re-steeped this about six time last evening (at a time I shouldn’t have been drinking tea), plus once more this afternoon, and it’s probably one of the best and most soothing tea sessions I’ve had since last spring.
The ginger is a vibrant, sweet finish to this silky Jin Xuan. I second the person who says they now want to try this base oolong unflavoured. It’s been so long since I’ve had a milk oolong.. my roommate doesn’t understand right now (she’s giving me a weird look as I go pacing about the apartment with my tea mug). It’s an exciting thing.

ooooh this actually makes me want to try this heh
It’s a good one! I’m not sure it’s Sil-worthy (I can send you some), but it’s worth a try if you like the sweet side of ginger and don’t mind milk oolong. :)
I like the base oolong a lot. I was curious about this ginger one, actually, but nervous about the lily part.
I think the lily part actually comes from the meaning of jin xuan (wiki translates it as “Golden Daylily”).
I’ve always wondered what lily flavoured tea would taste like.
Did you find it overly floral scented?
Not at all! The raw ginger is the most prevalent scent, especially in its dry state.
Ooooh! I do want to try this one then! Maybe I’ll get it when I order.
