We finally managed to smuggle a very small quantity of this spring’s offering of this ever so popular tea. Smuggle is not an euphemism here. Mainland Chinese teas do not enter without “issues” into Taiwan. This is a bit of a paradox considering that the tea originates from a garden that is owned by Taiwanese family member. Nevertheless, we are happy to make this exception to our “Taiwan only” rule for this tea and its 3 other siblings that we’ve labelled The Fragrant Jade Series. The 2016 production is even better than the previous years owing to the improved skill of Master Chen and to good weather conditions. Exceptionally, this tea is only offered in 25 g and 50 g formats due to the very limited quantity we can offer. Get some while it lasts!

Taiwan Tea CraftsI’ve had this tea a few times and haven’t left a review yet. I love the way Taiwan Tea Crafts seal up their tea leaving no air. The teas are always very fresh as was this one. It was very sweet and nutty with a bit of green bean in the first infusion. No astringency at all. Second infusion was less sweet and hardly much green bean flavour but still good. Overall a great green tea.
Flavors: Green Beans, Nutty, Sweet
Compared to the Jin Xuan White Tea from the Fragrant Jade series, this tea’s leaves weren’t nearly as aromatic. They have an overall grassy, beany, vegetal smell that you might expect from green tea. The flavor of the first infusion is light, vegetal, nutty, and a bit sweeet. It’s very clean tasting and the infusion is a really pale yellow. I am brewing this gongfu style in a porcelain gaiwan.
Second infusion, more rich umami vegetables. There’s a really subtle hint of clove or camphor that reveals that this is from an oolong cultivar and not the usual green tea cultivars, but aside from that note, and it is a delicate one, this really reminds me a lot of many Chinese green teas I’ve had.
The third infusion got more sweet and nutty and mild. And the fourth did so as well. I enjoyed these two infusions the most.
This is a clean tasting and good green tea. After the first or second infusion, it didn’t have as much of the green bean taste that is rather common in Chinese green tea that I’m not a huge fan of. Clean tasting and light are the two words I’d use to sum up this teas biggest strengths.
Flavors: Green Beans, Nutty, Sweet, Vegetal
