Description

Jin Jun Mei, cultivated in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian Province, China, is a premium black tea from the Lapsang Souchong lineage and is revered as a rare gem among teas. This exquisite variety is entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans. It is made from wild, fresh tea buds collected from high-altitude areas within Wuyi's natural reserve. To produce 500 grams of Jin Jun Mei, artisans painstakingly process tens of thousands of these delicate buds through a complex series of steps including withering, rolling, fermenting, and twisting.

Jin Jun Mei features a tightly wound appearance, with an interplay of gold, yellow, and black hues, highlighted by prominent golden fuzz. Its tea liquor presents a bright golden color, offering a unique flavor profile that combines subtle notes of honey with fresh floral undertones. The taste is sweet and creamy, delivering a rich, layered sweetness that persists through up to twelve infusions.

Brewing Guide

Mug:
5-8g | 85-90°C (250ml) | 2 minutes

Kung Fu Tea:
Due to the delicate nature of Jin Jun Mei, it is recommended to keep the water temperature between 85-90°C to preserve the nutrients and avoid bitterness. The first infusion is designed to awaken the tea leaves, allowing them to slightly unfurl and release the oolong's distinctive aroma. It is not meant for drinking, so pour out the water after 2-3 seconds. For the second infusion, steep the tea for about 15 seconds. Increase the steeping time by 10 seconds for each subsequent infusion. As you progress to the middle and later brews, you might extend the steeping time based on the tea soup's taste.
