DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearl

DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls: though North Thailand as a tea cultivation region initially became popular for its Oolong teas, growers in 2011 for the first time produced black tea on the basis of the Jin Xuan No.12 tea plant that already in its first year conquered the hearts of every tea lover, who had a chance trying this highly aromatic Northern Thai tea novelty (quite some, actually, thanks to Siam Tea Shop).

In the nomenclature of this tea, DMS means the cultivation region, Doi Mae Salong, Jin Xuan is the Taiwanese name of the underlying tea cultivar, Black stands for Black Tea, and Pearls for the rolled form of this variant.

The carefully handpicked, processedJin Xuan Nr. 12 Teekultivar: junger Trieb im Februar 2013 in Doi Mae Salong, Nordthailand according to old tradition,and in both rolled and loose leaf form available ‘Chaa Deng’ (= Red Tea), as the black tea is called by its ethnich Chinese producers in North Thailand, shows a clear red-brown color in the cup, and the freshly infused tea’s fragrance courts our olfactory senses with cocoa, nuttyJin Xuan Black Pearls black tea from Doi Mae Salong, red liquor in the cup and bloomy notes and already anticipates the mild and still substantial aromatic taste of this tea, which is often compared to a Ti Guan Yin.

DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls achieve the best taste result at an infusion temperature of 90°C – 100°C. We recommend an infusion period of well 3 minutes in order to fully assert the wide-facetted aromatic richness of this otherwise very mild tea, which suits very well for enjoyment in the evening, too. DMS Jin Xuan Black Pearls black tea has the potential for 2 full-bodied infusions with only little decrement in the second infusion.
