Jinjunmei is refined from single buds, the summit of Wuyi black tea. Honeyed fragrance and orchid fragrance blend, the body sweet, smooth and vivid, with sweetness still remaining after several infusions. Worthy to drink yourself, proper to give away.
OUR CHOICE
Why we chose this one
Jinjunmei is the summit of Wuyi black tea. For this one we follow the Tongmu Pass Lapsang Souchong method, but take the tenderest single buds. Single buds mean that two catties of fresh leaf yield only one ounce of tea, thick with golden down. Why choose it? Because among black teas aromatic ones are not rare, but one that is at once sweet, smooth, vivid and easy to keep drinking is not.
