Huang Jin Gui means Golden Osmanthus, so called because its yellowish green leaves produce a golden liquor and it has a distinct Osmanthus flower-like aroma. It is a high-grown tea from Fujian that starts with a fruity flavour but becomes more sweetly floral.

This is one of the four famous Anxi Oolongs (like Tie Guan Yin) but it is made from the top leaves of the first spring harvest in Anxi County. These leaves can be infused several times and the character changes with each brew. It starts with a fruity flavour that gradually becomes more sweetly floral. Yellow Gold’s delicious, easy-drinking nature and affordable price make it a much sought-after oolong tea.

Use about 2 tsp per cup (200ml) and brew around 85°C (185°F), allow to steep for 2-3 minutes and infuse at least 3 times.
