2025 Wuyishan Jin Jun Mei Black Tea

Jin Jun Mei, one of the most prestigious black teas from the Wuyi Mountain region in Fujian, represents the pinnacle of Chinese black tea craftsmanship. This 2025 harvest is meticulously crafted from the earliest spring buds, harvested exclusively from high-altitude tea gardens where the unique terroir imparts exceptional sweetness and complexity to the tea.

Each batch is made entirely from tender golden buds, carefully hand-plucked and processed to preserve their delicate character. The dry leaves display a beautiful mix of dark and golden hues, with slender, curved shapes resembling fine eyebrows—hence the name "Jun Mei" (Fine Eyebrow). When brewed, it yields a bright, amber-red liquor with a captivating aroma of honey, ripe fruit, and subtle floral notes. The taste is exceptionally smooth and sweet, with layers of caramel, cocoa, and a delicate maltiness, culminating in a lingering, clean finish that embodies the refinement of premium Wuyi black tea.
