Description: Jin Jun Mei black tea (also known as 'Golden Eyebrows') is originated from Tongmu village in the Wuyi Mountain region, where also the famous Lapsang Souchong is produced. All teas from this region enjoy superior natural conditions. Jin Jun Mei tea is often considered the luxury version of lapsang souchong with a more pronounced honey flavour and picked more than 1500 meters above sea level. The tea is processed using a method similar to that used to produce Lapsang Souchong, but without smoke braising and the leaves consist of more buds. Jin Jun Mei has recently become really popular in China and because of it's beauty, this tea is typically bought as a 'gift tea' in China for friends or family.
Malty and honey-sweet, with the subtle fruity aroma of oranges. This wild-picked bud tea provides a uniquely rich and savoury cup reminiscent of fresh-baked, whole-grain toast with a touch of sweet honeyed butter on top. The malty profiles of barley and wheat are in the foreground, followed by an aftertaste that reveals the fine bud quality of the tea through a fruity scent of oranges.
To Enjoy: Place one bag (5g) per cup into an infuser, filter or teapot. Switch the kettle off, before it boils, when you hear the water rumbling. Add the hot, but not boiling, water and infuse for 3 minutes. Serve immediately or remove leaves to prevent spoiling.
