Few tea names carry such intriguing contrast as "Jinxuan". The character "Jin" means gold, symbolizing rarity and preciousness, while "Xuan" refers to daylily, a common and humble flower in the countryside. This fascinating blend of grandeur and simplicity gives this oolong tea an inherent allure that sparks curiosity from the very name.
Jinxuan has long been a standout star among popular oolong varieties. Its name frequently graces the menus of many Chinese-style tea shops, thanks to its innate, soft creamy fragrance – a delightful fusion of buttery notes and floral aromas encoded in its genetic makeup. Tracing its origins, Jinxuan is a hybrid cultivar meticulously developed by Taiwanese tea experts, and its lineage can be traced back to the Dongding Oolong, which was transplanted from Wuyi Mountain to Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty. This cross-strait heritage lays the wonderful groundwork for its glorious return to its ancestral home in Wuyi Mountain.
Most Jinxuan Oolong teas available on the market are crafted using Minnan oolong processing techniques. While they boast a bold and noticeable aroma, they often fall short in one aspect – the fragrance tends to linger on the surface, lacking the full-bodied texture and depth in the liquor. The 2025 Wuyi Rock Tea Jinxuan newly launched by Tongxinshe Teahouse is precisely designed to remedy this shortcoming, allowing the inherent advantages of the Jinxuan cultivar to shine through the exquisite craftsmanship of Wuyi Rock Tea making.
Wuyi Rock Tea has always upheld the time-honored philosophy of prioritizing mellow liquor while preserving delicate aroma. "Liquor" refers to the texture and thickness of the tea soup, while "aroma" represents the layered and long-lasting fragrance integrated into the liquor; the two complement each other to create a supreme tea. This Jinxuan Rock Tea selects plump, fully matured open-faced fresh leaves from high-altitude tea gardens in Wuyi Mountain as raw materials. The thick and fleshy leaves are rich in internal nutrients, laying a solid foundation for the mellow texture of the tea liquor. In terms of production, it adheres to the traditional Wuyi Rock Tea craftsmanship: tea leaves are carefully shaken to activate aroma precursors, and then slowly roasted over medium fire to stabilize the flavor profile. The precise balance between fermentation and roasting not only preserves the authentic creamy floral fragrance of Jinxuan, but also brings out the unique gentle texture characteristic of Wuyi Rock Tea.
Upon brewing, the dry tea leaves present a tight, dark brown appearance, releasing an elegant creamy aroma the moment they meet the warmed teacup. The tea liquor glows with a bright golden hue; upon sipping, it delivers a smooth and velvety texture – free from the thinness of ordinary Jinxuan teas, and brimming with the rich aftertaste enhanced by distinctive rock rhyme. The signature creamy fragrance is no longer a floating note, but fully integrated into the tea liquor, lingering softly between the lips and teeth with subtle fruity and floral notes and the unique mineral-like rock character, offering a rich, layered taste experience that stimulates lasting salivation. From the first brew with its strong aroma and rich flavor, to the sixth or seventh brew still retaining its fresh sweetness, every sip embodies the essence of Wuyi Rock Tea – fragrance infused in liquor, and liquor enriched with fragrance.
A cup of Wuyi Jinxuan Rock Tea is the perfect harmony of cultivar genetics, terroir and craftsmanship: it embodies the compatibility of "nobility" and "simplicity" implied in its name, as well as the cross-regional reunion of a Taiwanese cultivar and Wuyi rock rhyme; it retains the inherent creamy fragrance that makes Jinxuan stand out, while making up for the lack of full-bodied texture in conventional Jinxuan teas.
