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:

dfg

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.
