This is an absolutely beautiful rendition of the infamous Jin Xuan (golden lily) cultivar. Organic, massive leaves, from Meishan, at high altitudes, provide endless steps of floral tang and velvety texture on the palette. This tea is very very creamy, and opens up to higher floral notes throughout the later steepings. We almost had to tap out on this tea because it would not stop brewing.
