Supreme Jin Jun Mei Golden Eyebrow – Rare Bud-Only Wuyi Black TeaSupreme Jin Jun Mei Golden Eyebrow is a rare gem among black teas — a masterfully crafted brew made only from the freshest early-spring buds. These buds grow at extremely high elevations, around 1, 500–1, 800 meters above sea level, on the mist-clad slopes of the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian Province, China. Raised in high-altitude gardens and harvested by hand, each slender bud is chosen for its purity and golden-tipped vigor — the ultimate raw material for a tea of exceptional character. Craftsmanship & HeritageSince its creation in 2005, Jin Jun Mei has risen to become one of China's most prestigious black teas. Only single buds are selected — no mature leaves — and processed with the utmost precision through withering, rolling, oxidation and gentle roasting. The result is tightly curled leaves with fine golden tips, a hallmark of meticulous craftsmanship and premium quality. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItThanks to its high bud ratio and expert oxidation, Jin Jun Mei is known for exceptional brewing endurance — the flavor stays full and sweet through many steepings, revealing new layers of aroma with every cup. It's a luxurious, beautifully smooth black tea that impresses seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style in a gaiwan to appreciate how the aroma evolves from infusion to infusion, or enjoy it in a mug as a truly special everyday luxury. Serve it plain to savor its natural honeyed sweetness — no milk or sugar needed. It also makes an elegant gift for any black tea lover. |

A little steeping tipTop-grade golden buds: brew in a gaiwan with short steeps and re-steep 5–6 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
