From jLteaco (fongmongtea)

Gaoshan Jin Zhu, after years of careful planting, a new star cultivar was developed by our talented tea farmers. The hand-plucked leaves of Jin Zhu Organic Oolong Tea are grown in the elevation of 1000m in central Taiwan. At the elevation above, the mountainsides are covered with fog or clouds which are ideal for growing Oolongs.

Jin Zhu is a special cultivar of Camellia Sinensis (tea plant) which was NOT developed by Taiwan Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES). This special cultivar produces an Oolong with a natural light floral fragrance and a very strong creaminess evoking a buttery sweetness. This Jin Zhu special edition is made by the tea master Mister Chen, and only available at jLteaco.

From the product description, it appears that Fong Mong has developed this tea varietal independently of the TRES, and I’m kind of impressed. Thanks to the company for providing a sample. I steeped 6 g of leaf in a 120 ml teapot at 190F for 25, 20, 25, 30, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 240 seconds.

In the teapot, the large, loosely rolled green nuggets smell faintly floral. (From the consistency of the spent leaf sets, I can believe that this is a hand-picked tea.) The first steep has the beany, vegetal notes of green tea along with the milky, floral qualities associated with Jin Xuan. It also tastes kind of starchy, maybe because of the beans. This is a wonderfully soft tea with no astringency. Notes of kale, cream, and maybe gardenia show up in the next couple steeps. By steep six, the tea starts becoming more vegetal, though it’s still very pleasant.

Although I gravitate toward fruitier, less vegetal oolongs, this is a unique and easy-going varietal that would appeal to green tea drinkers. I love trying “experimental” teas from Taiwan and am glad I got to sample this one.

At first this tea is extremely creamy and buttery with vegetal, legume and floral notes with a touch of sweetness. With further infusions it also tastes of fresh air, slightly of salt water, and of minerals. Astringency is non-existent at first, becomes a little more astringent with further steeping.

Flavors: Vegetables, Vegetal
