Jin Jun Mei

$25.00 USD

Jin Jun Mei is one of China's most celebrated black teas, originating in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province. Made entirely from carefully hand-picked spring buds, it is prized for its refined character, exceptional sweetness, and distinctive golden-tipped appearance. Our selection features beautifully even leaves with an abundance of vibrant golden buds, a hallmark of careful harvesting and skilled craftsmanship.

The cup is rich and naturally sweet, with notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, malt, and a gentle honeyed finish. Full-bodied yet remarkably smooth, it offers depth without heaviness and remains balanced through multiple infusions.
