Pomelo Flower Fragrance Oolong 

**The fresh 2023 pick is in stock and great as always. The milky thickness of this years tea is beautiful!**

Ruisui Taiwan is famous for two things, tea and pomelos. This tea is a mix of both. Fresh spring-picked milk oolong infused with the intoxicating citrus/jasmine smell of pomelo flowers. The tea and flowers are laid together, but not mixed. They are dried together but without touching. The process creates an amazing expression of spring, a rare and beautiful tea.

This tea is only made for about two weeks in the Taiwanese spring. A very limited amount of tea is made. If you would like some, it is best not to wait too long! 

While brewing this tea it is best to treat it like a green tea, with longer, cooler water steeps. If the water is too hot it can burn off the gorgeous perfume-like citrus floral notes that have been infused into this amazing tea.

Potent and unique florals

This has the strongest floral flavor from other floral scented teas I have tried from this vendor. This tastes like coconut, jasmine, and citrus. The pomelo scent goes extremely well with the milkiness of the jin xuan.

If you love jasmine greens, you’ll adore this oolong

All the sweetness and perfume of a jasmine green, with a richer, creamier flavor and a hint of citrus.
Phenomenal endurance on this tea. The jasmine-like perfume fades over the steeps, while the citrus notes come to the foreground.

Lovely scent, but a little disappointed with the flavor

The scent of this tea is spectacular. it's very floral and citrusy, without becoming overwhelming. but I'm a bit disappointed with the flavor, as I couldn't sense much of the original tea. yes, there's some buttery quality but that's pretty much all I could taste.

A great floral tea

I, too, do not normally care for flower-scented teas but I decided to give this one a go was surprised. It has a nice sweetness to it and a great fragrance. I think the fact that it is a JinXuan cultivar is why I enjoyed it as much as I did. I agree with the description about being careful with water heat or you will ruin some citrous notes. Marco's review sums up the details of the tea well, so I won't repeat that. I won't order it again simply because flower teas aren't my favorite, but it's high quality and deserves 5 stars.

This tea knocked my socks off. Even on Steep #5. I drank it on a cold winters day it reminded me of spring and sunshine. And tastes amazing.
