Commercial Description
(RateTea Translation) Produced in Mae Salong village in northern Thailand, this blue-green tea is tightly-rolled, lightly oxidized, and not very tealike. The cultivar, Jin Xuan, originated in Thailand, and the leaves were harvested by hand. Its flavor is rich and milky, and lingers long on the palate without bitterness. Try it for yourself!

It has a lovely creamy taste, while also being nice and flowery. It has a very warm flavour, it's nice and sweet too. It's good for lots of steepings and has a bright yellowish green colour.
I'm sometimes afraid I won't be able to distinguish new light oolongs I buy from others that I already have, but this one is distinct. It's clearly milky which sets it apart from more fresh and "bright" ones and it's softer than Tieguanyin. (However, when I used too much leaf, it did get that sharp metallic tang that I don't really like about Tieguanyin. But that was just my mistake.)
The price is quite all right for such a decent light oolong, however I was not able to buy less than 100 g in the physical store (in Brussels), while the site allows you to buy 50 g or even a 10 g sample. €13.90 for 100 g is not that bad (I am at times willing to pay €20 for 50 g of a really good tea), but 100 g is just more than I need.
