Organic Jin Xuan Taiwan Tea
Type
Description
Experience the essence of Taiwanese tea, crafted over 40 years of hard work.
Grown throughout Taiwan at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,600 meters above sea level, Jin Xuan Tea, acclaimed both locally and internationally, was developed by the so-called “father of Taiwanese tea,” Wu Zhenduo, who named it after his grandmother.
Jin Xuan has a rich flavor even when served cold. When brewed cold, less caffeine is extracted, making it easier on the stomach, and more beneficial substances in the tea leaves including proteins remain so you can experience the rich nutrition while quenching your thirst.
Tasting Note
Milky, subtle floral flavor
The steeping time is important for a good tea.
Tea steeped for too short a time can be too weak in flavor, whereas the bitter or astringent taste may interfere with the full flavor and aroma from coming out if steeped too long.
*It's best to steep the tea clear first and darken it later; if you steep it strong first and then lighten it, you'll quickly lose the flavor.
How to Drink
HOT
- Add 2-3 grams of tea leaves to 100-150 ml of hot ( 90+ degrees Celsius, or 200+ degrees Fahrenheit) water and brew the tea.
- First steep (50 - 60 seconds): First steep (50 - 60 seconds): Drink as soon as the rolled tea leaves meet the water and unfold. Depending on your preference, we can increase the time to enjoy a richer, deeper flavor.
- Re-steeping (1 minute and 10 seconds - 1 minute and 25 seconds): You can steep the tea several times. Please increase the steeping time by at least 20 seconds each time.
COLD
Chilling tea buds: Add 3-4 grams of tea leaves to 50ml of boiling water and steep for 1 minute.
Fill a 200ml mug with ice cubes and pour in the brewed tea for a refreshing and invigorating experience.
Cold soak: Add 5 grams of tea leaves to 1.5 liters of room temperature water, place in the refrigerator, and let it steep for 7-8 hours to enjoy the cool tea flavor.
Mindful Point
In the vastness of the universe, I am grateful to have been born on a planet called Earth and to have met Xuyoni. I wish happiness to all who drink MANI Tea. Let us sink into calmness with MANI Tea, inspired by the mantra of peace, compassion, and wisdom, “Om Mani Padme Hum.”
*The ancient Indian word "मणि" (MANI) means precious gemstone and was believed to have divine powers to bring wealth and good fortune.
