Taiwan Rose Oolong Tea | Bagua Shan Jin Xuan Mei Gui Wu Long - Option: Sample 15 g

Taiwan Rose Oolong Premium is crafted through the traditional Taiwanese method of tea–flower scenting, using fresh organic roses at the peak of their fragrance. The production begins with selecting blossoms from the first and second day of a new seasonal bloom, when the petals contain the highest concentration of natural aromatic oils. Only these early-bloom flowers can impart the clear, balanced floral aroma and the subtle rosy tint characteristic of high-quality rose-scented teas.

As the base tea, this batch uses organic Jin Xuan (金萱) oolong — a cultivar known for its naturally creamy, gently sweet profile. Before scenting, the Jin Xuan is lightly baked, a step that enhances its smooth body and helps it harmonize with the rich, heady sweetness of fresh roses. For this production, the tea comes from long-term Taiwanese partners known for consistent, clean, and traditionally crafted harvests.

The scenting process follows a layered method: alternating rows of warm oolong leaves and freshly picked rose petals. Over time, the tea absorbs the full fragrance of the flowers. Once the roses have released all their aromatic compounds, all petals are removed to ensure clean ageing and prevent any sourness. A small portion of the petals is dried separately and added back solely for decoration, without affecting the taste.

The result is a tea with a delicate balance of body, sweetness and lingering floral presence. The fragrance is clearly identifiable as fresh rose — soft, elegant, and naturally sweet — while the Jin Xuan base provides creaminess and roundness. The liquor is smooth, soothing, and lightly perfumed, suitable for both everyday enjoyment and special moments.

Taiwan Rose Oolong Premium can be enjoyed hot or iced, and offers a consistently refined cup with each infusion. It is a classic, timeless style of scented oolong: gentle, harmonious, and beautifully made.
