How to Brew Jin Xuan No. 12 Loose Tea
Brewing Jin Xuan No.12 is all about bringing out its creamy body, floral lift, and smooth sweetness. Follow these steps for the perfect cup:
Measure Your Tea
Use 3 grams of loose oolong for every 300 ml (10 oz) of water. This keeps the flavor rich and balanced without becoming heavy.
Heat the Water
Bring fresh, filtered water to about 90°C (194°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, watch for gentle steam and small rising bubbles.
Wake the Leaves (Optional)
Pour a little hot water over the leaves, swirl, and discard. This helps the osmanthus aroma bloom and the creamy texture develop.
Steep the Tea
Pour hot water over the leaves and steep for 2–3 minutes. For a lighter floral profile, use less time; for more toffee sweetness, steep slightly longer.
Serve & Re-Steep
Pour into your favorite cup and enjoy the creamy, floral aroma before sipping. Jin Xuan is ideal for multiple infusions – each steep reveals new layers of flavor.
Brewed to Perfection
Premium leaves, precise roasting, and the aroma that makes moments memorable.
