Jin Jun Mei Black Tea, often referred to simply as Jin Jun Mei, is a highly prized and premium Chinese black tea. It is known for its delicate appearance, complex flavor profile, and a reputation as one of the finest black teas in the world.
Jin Jun Mei hails from the Wuyi Mountain area in the Fujian province of China, which is renowned for producing a variety of high-quality teas.
Jin Jun Mei undergoes a careful and labor-intensive processing method. It is fully oxidized, which is a characteristic of black teas. The tea is typically hand-processed, and only the most delicate buds and leaves are selected, which contributes to its exquisite flavor.
Jin Jun Mei is often described as having a sweet, honey-like aroma with fruity, floral, and sometimes even chocolatey notes. The taste is generally smooth and malty with a lingering sweetness.
To prepare Jin Jun Mei : use water that is just below boiling (around 195-205°F or 90-96°C). Steep the tea for about 3-5 minutes, or adjust the time to your preference, as the flavor can vary with different steeping times.
