Jin Jun Mei black tea
( Golden Eyebrow Top Wuyi black tea )
Jin Jun Mei black tea is very rare and unique. This tea is harvested just before Qingming to ensure the highest quality.
Jin Jun Mei black tea is made with tea buds only. Every 500 grams of this tea consists of 50,000 sprouts. As a skilled farmer could pluck 2,000 ones everyday, to make one pound of the tea, it takes 20 farmers a whole day to collect the shoots.
Jin Jun Mei black tea is one of the most exquisite examples of Chinese black tea which was created in 2005. Made from the bud only of wild tea trees located on a 1,500 meters high mountain in the Wuyi Nature Reserve of Fujian province, China.
Delicately twisted leaves with a high concentration of golden tips distinguishes this tea from other black teas. The quality of the tea really shines through in this absolutely gorgeous black tea. The tea itself is stunning in it’s beauty, with tippy golden leaves that smelled malty yet bright. This tea brews up into a deep mahogany color, that holds a very bold, deep and crisp flavor. A full-bodied infusion deep red with a honey-like sweetness, a subtle milkiness and light coppery finish.
Now it is a crazy time for Jin Jun Mei black tea in China, a newborn black tea that sells very expensively for its production cost and remarkable quality. It is even getting more and more popular in China. Most people buy it to enjoy it or as a gift, despite the cost. It’s clearly the darling of high society.
