Jin Jun Mei

Jin Jun Mei – Classic "Golden Eyebrow" Fujian Black Tea

Jin Jun Mei, meaning "Beautiful Golden Eyebrow" in Mandarin, is a famous Chinese black tea known for its deep auburn-golden hue and delicate, slender leaves that resemble a beautiful eyebrow. It's one of China's most beloved teas, grown and produced in Fujian Province.

In springtime, the tender young leaves and buds are carefully plucked and allowed to fully oxidize — a process that gives Jin Jun Mei its deep, malty and aromatic profile. The finished tea is made of slim black and gold tips covered in a delicate golden fuzz, a sign of its high bud content and careful craftsmanship.
