Jin Mu Dan Oolong, also known as golden peony oolong are grown in the famed Wuyi region in Fujian China. Wuyi oolongs are very popular among oolong tea drinkers and some of the rarer productions there can be extremely expensive.
There are many small villages that produced oolong in Wuyi China. These villages would want to showcase their tea and giving their oolong a nice sounding or unique name was a marketing strategy to stand out among the many oolong tea producers there. I had recently opened a 'Golden Key' oolong from the Wuyi region 2 years ago and I was unable to identify this tea from a blind taste test. In terms of taste and aroma, it is extremely difficult if quite impossible to identify an Wuyi oolong by specific region. The production methods like roast levels and different age of the tea would fool many tea experts in trying to identify a particular oolong.
This Golden peony oolong is a 2018 production from Sea Dyke tea factory. This is a high roasted tea. It has a long pleasant aftertaste. Smooth and mellow. This tea is pleasant to drink when hot and just as nice when it had cooled down. An enjoyable tea adventure.
