Jin Jun Mei Honey Style

A gem among Chinese black teas, featuring notes of roasted sugar, cocoa beans, rye bread, and a hint of honey-like sweetness.

Jin Jun Mei is a black tea made exclusively from the very first leaf buds that emerge early in spring. It is a relatively new type of black tea, created in 2005 in the village of Tongmu. Since then, it has quickly gained popularity and is now considered one of the most expensive teas in the world.

This Jin Jun Mei does not come from Tongmu itself, but from a nearby village in the Wuyi Mountains. With its rich, complex flavor, it may surprise even experienced tea drinkers — a remarkable example of what Jin Jun Mei can be.

The tiny buds are highly concentrated, so when brewing this tea, we recommend using a smaller amount than usual.
