Kawaii433 drank Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea by Teavivre

379 tasting notes

Kind of my go-to milk oolong due to the price and taste, and decided after tasting lots of samples yesterday, I felt like it was time to enjoy a tea that I don’t think I can ever get tired of. In the mornings. I prefer a non-bitter, not-sharp, stomach-soothing warm cup of tea which this is. Whenever I buy things from Teavivre, I always add samples of this one because it’s my fallback tea. It’s vegetal, milky, slightly buttery, without an artificial taste, light but not too light, and after several infusions, it never gets bitter. Good price, good taste if you like Jin Xuan. ^^

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
