Featuring Dong Son Jin Xuan Green Tea

Oriental Green Tea is ecologically cultivated in Phuc Tho Village, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam by Dong Son. A safe ecosystem is build and corn, cane sugar and dried grass are used to grow the tea plants to get the purest and healthiest tea. Developed through research at the Taiwan Tea Agricultural Research Centre, Jin Xuan is a special variety of Camellia Sinensis (tea plant). Jin Xuan plant is known for producing oolong tea that offers unique spring floral fragrance with pure milk undertone, which is also known as ‘Milk Oolong’. It is exceptionally popular and is sometimes compared to milk. Dong Son uses the raw natural Jin Xuan Oolong tea to make their green tea.

The process of quality Dong Son Jin Xuan Green Tea

Dong Son’s green tea is of Grade 1 Jin Xuan and has fairly consistent size and shape. It is made primarily from the youngest tea buds. The tea leaves are picked early in spring before the rainy season sets in to ensure it has the best taste and a smooth, sweet aftertaste famously known in Jin Xuan Green Tea. Dong Son has a strict process to ensure the quality, safety and compliance of their products. Thus every year their products are SGS-inspected.

The process

To produce high-quality Jin Xuan tea is particularly laborious and time consuming.

Picked tea leaves are dried and roasted in a hot roasting pan to stop the loose leaf from fermenting. With the moisture removed, the tea leaves are rolled and dried again before they are ready for use.

The often roundish shape liken to oolong tea are jade in colour. This high-quality green tea does not contain tea dust, providing excellent taste and flavour. When infused, the loose-balled leaves unfurl and expand into the original shape of the
tea leaf in the water.
