An 'OMG' tea-moment that lasted an hour. Floating Leaves Jin Xuan Spring 2015. OMG. No, really, it's that good.

Floating Leaves was the first company I bought tea from. In one afternoon, I found TeaDB, watched some videos and that very day, ordered from Shiuwen at Floating Leaves Tea my first tea and tea tools. It is many months later and I have ordered many teas from floating Leaves but today I had my ( almost) favorite to date. certainly a new and wondrous oolong experience for me, and I am delighted I followed Shiuwen's advice and bought it! It is Jin Xuan Spring 2015 and it is fabulous. I love that she knew it would be hit with me based on my feedback on other teas she has 'turned me on to.'
I just went back to the website and cannot believe how affordable such a wonderful oolong is, and am delighted to report it is still available. Those of you who asked me about, and then ordered Oriental Beauty from FLT and loved it as much as I did will want to take note, this is just as good in a different way of course!
Apparently this tea is also known as Milk Oolong and Taiwan Tea #12.
It's a very popular tea and rightfully so, very easy to drink and a lot of fun to brew. It is the best lightly oxidized oolong I have had to date. Tightly rolled, very small balls that ring like bells in the gaiwan, I woke this tea slowly with a high-pour rinse of water 195 degrees, then proceeded to experiment with temps up to 205. Six steeps of real pleasure before it began to get weak.
Just adore this brew and will be noting it as one of those I intend to purchase in bulk once I run out of oolongs to try, and one that I bet will be a daily drinker for me for years to come!
