Alishan Taiwanese Milk Oolong

Alishan Taiwanese Milk (Jinxuan) Oolong

Ā 

Alishan is one of Taiwan's best known "High Climate" tea mountains, known for producing some of the best oolongs in the world.

This particular cultivar of "milk oolong" - also known as Jin Xuan - is known for it's smooth, rich and "milky" mouth feel.

Combined with the crisp, light fragrance, and the clean, smooth taste, this oolong is a surefire winner for tea lovers everywhere and a fantastic entryway to the world of Taiwanese oolongs.

High Mountain Teas


This tea comes from high altitude mountains in Taiwan, where the altitude's effects on weather, sunlight, and fog create cleaner, crisper tasting teas.

Jesse Says:Ā 

In January 2024, I made my first trip to Taiwan since before Covid, with the goal of finding great oolongs for the site.

I personally have been a fan of Alishan oolongs ever since my first trip to Taiwan in 2013. The quality of the Taiwanese high mountain tea is known all throughout the tea scene in Asia.
Ā 
Having a "clean and fragrant" - Qing Xiang - oolong was a 100% necessity for my sampler box, and this oolong is that tea! The milky, rich mouth taste of the Milk Oolong varietal is an added bonus for this fantastic tea.

OUR TEA PEOPLE

We will be working directly with Jayme and Uncle Liu, a third-generation tea family with farms in Dong Ding and Qilai Mountain!

Jayme and I at her family's tea farm on Dong Ding Shan. Jayme's family's teas are featured in Michelin Star restaurants across Europe.
Ā 
Uncle Liu is one of the last people in all of Taiwan who still does traditional charcoal roasting, using only pure Longan tree charcoal to make small batches of maximum 6 kg at a time.

VALUE AND QUALITY
Ā 
Want the best value? This tea comes in 100g and 200g sizes - check the drop-down menu above!

Jesse's Teahouse started because Jesse realized the quality and value of the tea directly from the tea markets and mountains in Asia was so much higher than what could be easily found in the States -- and around the world.

Jesse contacted his tea friends, they shipped their best teas to him, and he sends them to you. That's it!
Ā 
These teas are high quality and can be re-steeped multiple times!Ā Each servingĀ makes between 4-8 cups of tea, so at around $.50 a cup, you get top quality Chinese teas at a price that you can enjoy every day.
Ā 
NOT JUST TEA, TEA CULTURE

Jesse believes the key to making good tea is to help his Chinese tea friends share not just their best teas, but the best ways to make the teas.

That's why each box comes also comes with info that tells you:

  • Tea Origin
  • Steep Temperature
  • Steep Time
  • Directions for both teapot steeping and gaiwan steeping
Don't Forget Your Tea Pets!

In Chinese Gongfu Tea Tradition,Ā Tea Pets accompany you at teatime and you "raise" them by feeding them tea!Ā Check out the tea pets at the bottom of this page.
