Tea Story

Jin Jun Mei, also known as 'Golden Eyebrow', is a rare and exquisite black tea that originates from the misty, rugged terrain of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province, China. This tea is made with the utmost care, using only the tender buds of the tea plant, hand-plucked to ensure the highest quality. The production process is meticulous, with each leaf being carefully processed to preserve its natural sweetness and golden tips.

Wuyi Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its unique terroir, where the combination of high-altitude growing conditions, mineral-rich soil, and foggy climate creates the perfect environment for producing teas with remarkable depth and complexity. Jin Jun Mei is no exception. It brews into a deep mahogany liquor, revealing a rich, honeyed sweetness complemented by silky milkiness and a refined, coppery finish. The tea's full-bodied character is smooth and luxurious, with no trace of astringency, offering a polished experience from start to finish.

This tea is a true embodiment of the craftsmanship and tradition of Fujian tea makers, renowned for their skill in creating teas that are both flavorful and refined.
