It makes sense to be surprised that an oolong cultivar would be made into a green tea in Taiwan, where oolongs are king, but truly the tea drinks like a green tea, albeit one made from a tasty oolong-y cultivar. And that's really all that matters.edkrueger wrote:I don't think I was wrong in being skeptical though.

Re: Jin Xuan winter harvest 2009 green tea from Taiwan
I'm also skeptical as Jin Xuan is also made here in Thailand and is considered an oolong. But, and it is a big but, if the tea is indeed processed without oxidation, it could be a green. Only the processor would know for sure. Jin Xuan is already a very green type oolong. Not sure why one would want it to be a green tea.debunix wrote:It makes sense to be surprised that an oolong cultivar would be made into a green tea in Taiwan, where oolongs are king, but truly the tea drinks like a green tea, albeit one made from a tasty oolong-y cultivar.
