Tea Deep Dive: Gingwan Black Tea 🧐
You might know Gingwan (or Jin Xuan) as the "Milk Oolong" tea. But did you know this amazing cultivar also makes an incredible black tea?
When fully oxidized, the Gingwan leaf transforms. Instead of the buttery, floral notes of the oolong, you get a deep, sweet, and honeyed cup with a signature creamy smoothness that lingers on the palate.
Why it's unique:
✅ Naturally creamy aroma (no flavorings!)
✅ Low astringency, high sweetness
✅ Signature tea from Taiwan's renowned terroir
It’s a must-try for any tea enthusiast looking to explore the depth and diversity of Taiwanese teas beyond oolongs.
Question for the tea experts: What's your favorite black tea cultivar? Let's geek out in the comments!
